A video circulating on social media has captured an awkward moment between King Charles and Queen Camilla at the Commonwealth Day Service. The King and Queen, the Prince and Princess of Wales, and Princess Anne attended the event at Westminster Abbey, which was the biggest gathering of senior royals since the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor last month.
In the video, King Charles touches Camilla’s arm to remind the Queen that the service is about to begin. Acknowledging his touch, Camilla, who was speaking to Princess Anne, turns around and promptly stands in position next to Charles.
One royal fan commented on the interaction under the video on X: “Camilla and Anne couldn’t stop chatting, so Charles had to remind his wife that the event was about to start.” Another fan wrote, “I just love her!” next to a crying face emoji.
More than 1,800 guests attended the service on Monday 9 March, which featured readings, prayers, music and dance, from celebrities including former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell-Horner and Strictly Come Dancing’s Oti Mabuse.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, was also part of the congregation, alongside religious leaders and representatives of Commonwealth nations.
The King’s Commonwealth message praised the association of 56 countries as a family “united by shared values of justice, democracy, opportunity, compassion and mutual respect”.
The King’s message said the Commonwealth can be a “force for good”, against a backdrop of wars and international tension.

It was reported that King Charles may have spoken to Commonwealth leaders about whether Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor should retain his place in the line of succession, after his arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office last month and in the wake of revelations from documents released by US authorities about Epstein.
