Charles, 72, and Edward, 56, showed their deep connection, as they chatted and laughed with one another at the Berkshire racecourse on the opening day of the meet.
The future King is only two years older than his sister, Princess Anne, and the royal siblings were incredibly close growing up, particularly when the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh were away on overseas tours.
Charles and Anne were 12 and 10 respectively when Prince Andrew was born in 1960 and were often pictured entertaining their baby brother.
Prince Edward arrived four years later and despite the age gap, he has a close bond with his older siblings.
Take a look at Prince Charles' sweetest moments with his brothers and sister.
