King Charles and Queen Camilla's most loved-up moments in 14 sweet photos

After confessing to an affair during his marriage with Princess Diana, Charles kept his relationship with Camilla largely private for years. One of the first times we saw the couple showing affection was in 2001 when Camilla – who was a patron of the National Osteoporosis Society – welcomed Charles to an event at Somerset House with a kiss on the cheek.  

They may have avoided the traditional wedding day kiss, but the newlywed royal couple still looked cosy linking arms as they emerged from their civil ceremony at Windsor Guildhall in 2005. 

However, they were spotted sharing a celebratory kiss later that year after then Prince Charles won a polo match at Cirencester.

Charles put a protective arm around a smiling Camilla as he sang happy birthday to her at the National Parks Big Picnic celebration in 2019.  

Some may say Charles and Camilla were clinging onto one another for balance while making imprints of their feet at St Michael's Mount, but we like to think it was also a show of solidarity.

Affection comes in many forms, as Charles proved when he thoughtfully helped his wife fasten her protective face mask at Royal Ascot in 2021, amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The former Prince looked unaware of the cameras as he helped Camilla disembark HMS Illustrious in Portsmouth back in 2014.

Charles placed a hand on Camilla's back as they shared a giggle while she played bowls during a visit to Bromham in 2007.

It looks as though Charles automatically reached out for his wife's hand as they enjoyed a walk through the Botanical Gardens in Rio De Janeiro in 2009.

The royals were the picture of wedded bliss the month after they got married. They couldn't contain their smiles as they clung onto one another after losing their footing during a walkabout on the island of St Mary's in the Scilly Isles in 2005.

The King was a perfect gentleman as he carried out his duties at his son Prince Harry's wedding to Meghan Markle in 2018, offering his arm to not only Camilla but also Meghan's mother Doria Ragland.

Supporting one another during the tough aftermath of Queen Elizabeth II's death, King Charles put a loving arm on the Queen's back as they viewed floral tributes outside Buckingham Palace.

On their state visit to France in 2023, the King very sweetly helped his wife disembark from HMS Iron Duke. 

And when Charles and Camilla returned to the ship, this subtle PDA was captured by cameras.
