Royal Ascot: King Charles’ loving gesture towards Queen Camilla caught on camera
King Charles was seen gazing lovingly into his wife Queen Camilla‘s eyes at Royal Ascot, and fans picked up on the gesture.
Charles and Camilla have attended every day of Royal Ascot so far this week, and the king and queen consort plan to appear for the rest of the event.
Queen Camilla may have fought a ‘secret battle’ with her wardrobe earlier on in the week, but appears to be in good spirits regardless.

The monarch was spotted looking at his wife with love in his eyes on day two of the sporting event.
Queen Camilla, dressed in a bright green gown, was standing next to King Charles as they watched the Royal Ascot races.
But it was His Majesty’s expression that appears to have won over fans’ hearts.
They took to social media to gush over the pair, who recently celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary this year.
“Beautiful capture,” said one fan, while another user complimented Queen Camilla on her outfit.
“They’ve been married for 20 years and still absolutely adore each other,” a third declared.
A fourth wrote: “50 years later and he’s still looking at his girl like this,” referencing when they first met in the 1970s.
Another commented on how ‘in sync’ the pair are.
Couple lead the procession
It comes after King Charles and Queen Camilla lead the royal procession on the third day of Royal Ascot this afternoon. They second carriage included Princess Anne, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh and her husband Prince Edward, the Duke of Edinburgh.
Princess Beatrice also stepped out for the occasion with her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, and their carriage was followed by Mike and Zara Tindall, Princess Anne’s daughter and son-in-law.
Prince William attended Wednesday’s event, but his wife Princess Kate Middleton unexpectedly pulled out last minute.
Kensington Palace said the royal was disappointed she couldn’t attend, while sources claimed the mum-of-two was finding the right balance between royal duties and returning to work following her cancer battle.
