One more observer noted, “They look very close now, and I expect they are!”

The appearance of King Charles with his brother also brought attention to Duchess Sophie, whose elegant outfit was praised by fans.

She wore a Ghost London Aueline Moon-Print dress, an Isabel Marant Loyana jacket, a Sophie Habsburg Paloma bag, and TOMS Valencia Canvas Platform Espadrilles.

The public appearance of King Charles and Prince Edward at such an event has touched the hearts of many royal followers.

With King Charles continuing to carry out select public duties, this rare and warm family moment has been warmly welcomed by fans across the country.
