King Charles and Queen Camilla have marked Mother’s Day in a poignant and personal way. Their Majesties’ official Twitter account shared two throwback pictures.
In the first one, a young Princess Elizabeth holds her smiling firstborn on her lap.
In the second, most recent picture, Camilla pays tribute to her mother, Rosalind Shand.
The tweet was accompanied by a message reading: “To all mothers everywhere, and to those who may be missing their mums today, we are thinking of you and wishing you a special #MothersDay.”
This is the first Mother’s Day King Charles celebrates without his mother Elizabeth II at his side.
Her Late Majesty died on September 8 aged 96, having served the country for 70 years.
Mrs Shand, wife of Major Bruce Shand, died in 1994 after having suffered for years of severe osteoporosis.
