Public displays of affection are rare to see when it comes to the royal family, with the likes of Prince William and Princess Kate, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla remaining very professional while carrying out their royal duties.
However, the latter have shared meaningful looks, held hands and even leaned in for a kiss in front of the cameras since getting married in April 2005. As the country prepares to celebrate King Charles' coronation on 6 May, we look back at all of the monarch's sweetest PDAs with Camilla over the years…
