King Charles and Queen Camilla recently returned from a highly-successful trip to Germany – their very first state visit.
The royal couple proved to be a big hit with the German people and were greeted by huge crowds throughout their four-day stay.
Now, a number of photos and videos from their tour have been shared with fans on their official Instagram page. And royal watchers noticed a touching gesture from the King towards his wife of 17 years. See the sweet video below...
One behind-the-scenes clip shows the couple onboard a train heading to Hamburg for their final day of the visit.
At the start of the video, the King can be seen sitting and looking through paperwork in a ring binder at a single fold-down table.
As the camera pans over across the aisle, Camilla is also reviewing some papers – but at a much larger table. Fans were quick to comment on the fact that the monarch had seemingly given up the bigger space for his wife.

A fourth added: “I love these natural pics & videos we are getting. They give a sense of inclusivity even while being private. Evokes warm feelings towards them. A far cry from a celebrity photo shoot that controls the narrative - phoney or not.”

The royals attended a state banquet given in their honour, with Charles impressing fellow guests as he addressed them in German – much to their delight.
President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, meanwhile, had a touching gift to present to His Majesty.

Mr Steinmeier said: "At the tender age of 13, you came to Germany – with no official welcome, no press, no photographers. And yet there is a captivating photo, a snapshot of you together with your father, Prince Philip, as you arrive at Frankfurt airport.
