The King and Queen
During the coronation ceremony of Charles III, a moment occurred that created complete silence in Westminster Abbey and shocked millions of viewers watching on TV. It marked a new beginning, a farewell, and the crowning of Charles III's father as the king of the United Kingdom.
Prince William, 40, as his heir to the throne, helped put on the royal robes, assisting when Charles was given the 'Stole Royal' (a shawl) before the St Edward's Crown was placed on his head.

That was touching!
Touching: After the coronation, William knelt before his father, took his hands, and swore his oath of allegiance as Prince of Wales: “I, William, Prince of Wales, pledge my allegiance to you. As your liege man for life and limb, I will offer you loyalty and truthfulness, so help me, God.” A brief touch of the crown as a ceremonial sign of power and then a moment that has never been seen before at the coronation of a British monarch: William kissed his father on the left cheek.

King Charles expressed his gratitude to William, his son, instead of directly to the prince. He thanked William personally, saying, "Thank you, William! Thank you, William!" Harry, William's brother, observed the moment from the third row and smiled.
It was also a scene of particular historical importance
Because William based his oath of loyalty on the words that his grandfather, Prince Philip († 99), used during the coronation of his queen and wife, Elizabeth, on June 2, 1953, to swear royal loyalty to her.

Charles and William: Are the two closer now than ever?
William and Harry (38) have never had a close bond despite being brothers. Instead, both were known as "mama's children" and shared a more intimate relationship with their mother, Princess Diana (1997).
It is said that there were rarely great feelings between the two princes and their father, Charles, during their childhood and youth. However, according to palace sources, the bond between William (right) and the king is very close today.
That reveals the body language of the royals.
According to a source close to the royal family, the passing of the Queen has brought the father and son closer together. Their bond has been strengthened as they prepare for their new roles and the country's future. This was noted just before the coronation ceremony.
