Royal watchers are buzzing over the latest photo of King Charles and Prince William.

Fans of the monarchy have taken to social media to shower the father-and-son pair with praise after their newest appearance together.

Royal fans gush over photo of King Charles and Prince William

Today, King Charles officially appointed his son, Prince William, as the new Great Master of the Order of the Bath — a prestigious royal role.

The appointment was marked by a ceremony at Westminster Abbey on Friday.

New photos of Charles and William have emerged from the event, including one particularly notable image. While Charles’ appearance in the photo has drawn praise, it also reflects a royal tradition — just as Queen Elizabeth II once passed the title to Charles, he has now handed it to William.

This moment also coincides with the 300th anniversary of the Order of the Bath’s establishment. Prince William now takes over the title that Charles held for nearly 50 years.

Prince William becomes Great Master of the Order of the Bath

Today, May 16, marked King Charles’s first appearance at the service as Sovereign of the Order. He was originally appointed Great Master by Queen Elizabeth II back in 1975.

Although Prince William has now taken on the role, Charles clearly took center stage at today’s ceremony.

This is considered the best photo of the King and Prince William to date.

Royal fans quickly took to social media, praising Charles’ “majestic” appearance.

At 76, the King’s presence certainly left a strong impression.

Both William and Charles were pictured inside the Abbey wearing the traditional ceremonial attire.
