Mother and son: memorable moments between Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles III
Have a look back at the special bond shared with the late queen and her eldest son
CELEBRITY Mother's day
In February 2022, in a message marking the 70th anniversary of her reign, the Queen said it was her "sincere wish" that when Charles were to become king, his wife, Camilla, would be given the title of queen consort. This gesture could be seen as a blessing to the then-future King Charles III. The heir to the throne had always craved approval from his mother, and before her death, the Queen seemed finally to affirm her support. However, it wasn't always this way. The sensitive young Charles had little in common with his straightforward mother. But as decades passed, the duo developed a close, warm bond.
Let's take a look at some memorable moments showcasing their special connection.
