Following the news of the Queen‘s death earlier this week, there have been many poignant moments caught on camera some even becoming so retrospectively, such as Her Majesty’s last photo. We’ve also seen Prince William (the new Prince of Wales) and Camilla, Queen Consort, support the newly Proclaimed King Charles III, who gave an emotional public address, thanking his mother for her love and guidance.

Amelka also shared that she was happy to see King Charles III’s two sons and their partners together, putting on a public display of unity (something it seems the new King is eager to encourage, having used his first speech in his new role to ‘send love’ to Harry and Meghan.
