A royal commentator has said a touching moment between King Charles and Queen Camilla in Edinburgh shows ‘how far they’ve come’.

The royal couple were in Scotland for Holyrood Week, and attended St Giles’ Cathedral on July 2 for the unveiling of a commemorative stone honouring the late Queen. The King and Queen seemed to experience some confusion about their positioning in a rare light-hearted moment, reports Gloucestershire Live.

As Camilla looked uncertain about her placement, the couple quickly recognised the amusing nature of their predicament before finding their proper positions.

During a recent instalment of the A Right Royal podcast, Sky News’ royal correspondent Rhiannon Mills explained how she felt the moment highlighted “how far” the pair have progressed through the years, commenting: “They are such a good working partnership, and how far they’ve come since a couple of decades ago, and public perceptions of them and their relationship.”

She continued: “Whatever you want to say about them, they are this perfect partnership, and I think he gets great joy from being around her. They have a laugh.”
