The father-son duo looked dapper in classic suits as they stood side-by-side each other with their respective wives posing on the ends.

King Charles' youngest and his wife were notably absent from the family photo, which may not have come as a surprise to many given they stepped back from their senior royal duties in March 2020.

In light of Harry's father becoming King, he and Meghan were officially demoted on the royal family's website, being pushed to the bottom of the list, with only the disgraced Prince Andrew below them.
