The official photos from King Charles' Coronation have been released - but several key royals including Prince Harry are missing from them.
The four pictures were taken at Buckingham Palace following the historic service at Westminster Abbey - straight after the newly crowned Charles and Queen Camilla appeared on the palace balcony to greet crowds. As reported by the Mirror, the snaps come amid a statement from Charles thanking the nation for their support for his and Camilla's Coronation and pledging to rededicate his life to service.
The group shot features working members of the Firm, as the royals can be seen beaming as they pose in their finery. Charles and Camilla take centre stage in the shot, with the King flanked by his sister Princess Anne followed by her husband Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence.
They are joined by the Duke of Kent, the Duchess of Gloucester and the Duke of Gloucester. Next to Camilla, on the other side, are the Prince and Princess of Wales William and Kate followed by Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, who gives a helping hand to 86-year-old Princess Alexandra, along with Prince Edward, the Duke of Edinburgh.
The group shot is adults only and doesn't feature any of the pages of honour, which included Prince George, or other young royals that featured on the palace balcony after the Coronation - Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, Lady Louise Windsor and James, Earl of Wessex. As the snap is limited to working royals, the King's youngest son Harry doesn't feature. He dashed back to California immediately following the service, meaning he missed the photoshoot.
Meanwhile, three other photos complete the set, including one showing a majestic Charles in his Coronation regalia in the palace's Throne Room. His Majesty wears the Robe of Estate, the Imperial State Crown and is holding the Sovereign's Orb and Sovereign's Sceptre with Cross.
He is seated on one of a pair of 1902 throne chairs that were made for the future King George V and Queen Mary for use at the Coronation of King Edward VII. A second picture shows Queen Camilla in Queen Mary's Crown in the palace's Green Drawing Room with her robe spread out in front of her and a third snap showing King and Queen side by side was also taken in the Throne Room.
All were taken by renowned British photographer Hugo Burnand, who also took official pictures at the weddings of Charles and Camilla as well as William and Kate. In a statement, Charles said: "As the Coronation weekend draws to a close, my wife and I just wanted to share our most sincere and heartfelt thanks to all those who have helped to make this such a special occasion.
"We pay particular tribute to the countless people who have given their time and dedication to ensuring that the celebrations in London, Windsor and further afield were as happy, safe and enjoyable as possible. To those who joined in the celebrations - whether at home, at street parties and lunches, or by volunteering in communities - we thank you, each and everyone.
"To know that we have your support and encouragement, and to witness your kindness expressed in so many different ways, has been the greatest possible Coronation gift, as we now rededicate our lives to serving the people of the United Kingdom, the Realms and Commonwealth."
The Coronation weekend came to a close today with the Bank Holiday Monday Big Help Out, which has been billed as a lasting volunteering legacy to mark Charles’s crowning. William and Kate took their children to help renovate a Scouts Hut in Slough while Edward and Sophie took part in a puppy class at the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association Training Centre in Reading.
