Buckingham Palace Posts Super Striking Photo of King Charles and His Son Standing Side by Side
From surprise appearances from other members to fun candids of the King and Queen, you can always count on the Buckingham Palace IG for the best snapshots and updates of the royal family. And this latest post puts the spotlight on the King and Prince honoring a rare royal tradition. On Friday, May 16, Buckingham Palace shared a striking slideshow of King Charles and Prince William taking on an unusual royal tradition dating back to medieval times. The pair were attending the Service for the Order of the Bath, a ceremony that takes place every four years. "The order was established by George I in 1725, though its origins go back to medieval times when part of the ceremony of knighthood included a ritual bath symbolic of spiritual purification," Buckingham Palace writes. In the first photo, we see the royal father and son standing side-by-side wearing bold red cloaks over their traditional military garb and adornments at Westminster Abbey. See the full post down below. The Service for the Order of the Bath celebrates and honors military officials and senior civil servants. "Celebrating the 300th anniversary of Order of the Bath. For three centuries, the order has recognized exceptional military and civil achievements across the UK and the Commonwealth," the caption read.

King Charles rose to the Sovereign of the Order during his last visit in 2022 when he was the Prince of Wales. Now, with new roles and titles in place, the heir will attend every ceremony as the new Great Master, while Charles will attend every other one (every eight years). Max Mumby/Indigo/Getty Images After the heir's strange positioning on the royal balcony during VE Day, it's great to see the pair taking on royal duties together. Hopefully, this summer will bring on more rare shared appearances from the duo. Want all the latest royal news sent right to your inbox? Click here.
