Kate Middleton and Prince Charles share tender moment after Prince Philip's funeral
The Duchess of Cambridge was seen comforting her father-in-law Prince Charles in a tender moment after the funeral of Prince Philip.
On leaving the chapel following the service, Kate Middleton comforted Charles by placing a hand on his shoulder and giving him a kiss on the cheek.
Prince Charles had been visibly emotional earlier during the procession, to which he followed his father Prince Philip's hearse on foot from Windsor Castle to St George's Chapel.
As the eldest child of the Queen and Prince Philip and the heir to the throne, he followed first behind the coffin alongside his sister, Princess Anne.
Prince Charles usually resides in Gloucestershire with his wife, the Duchess of Cornwall. However, it is believed he has been staying in London since his father was hospitalised in March.
The funeral plans for the Duke of Edinburgh had to be revised due to COVID-19 restrictions, which meant only 30 people were allowed inside the chapel for the service.
On leaving the chapel, the family was able to chat informally amongst themselves and Kate took the opportunity to offer her support to Prince Charles.
Kate Middleton has been a member of the royal family since 2011 when she married Prince William. The Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral was the first royal funeral she has attended.
