It's clear that Prince Charles and his wife the Duchess of Cornwall are madly in love, but last year the royal couple didn't mark their wedding anniversary for a heartbreaking reason.

Usually the pair release a photo of themselves on their official social media accounts, something that royal fans are always quick to share their love for, but last year there was no public posting as their anniversary fell on the day that Prince Philip sadly passed away. Although the pair will likely have had a private moment to mark the day, out of respect for Charles' father they didn't celebrate the event publicly.

Despite the incredibly sad time for the family, many fans had already sent their well wishes on the special occasion and Camilla later thanked those that wrote in by sending a beautiful thank you card featuring a loving picture of her and her husband.

The couple chose a snap of them taken in 2020 following the arrival of four life-size sculptures of elephants at the Prince of Wales's Highgrove country estate.
On the back of the picture, Camilla's handwriting can be appreciated as she wrote part of the message herself, including the signature which reads: "With best wishes, Camilla."
Although the pair may release a photo again this year, it would be understandable if they chose to refrain once again due to the now-bittersweet meaning of the day.
