A royal reunion! Prince Charles and Queen Elizabeth II were photographed outside Frogmore House ahead of the Easter holiday.
Buckingham Palace released two new photos of the mother-son duo on Friday, April 2.
"The Queen and The Prince of Wales enjoy a walk in the grounds of Frogmore House, Windsor," The Royal Family Instagram account captioned the snaps. "This image is one of two released to mark the Easter weekend. Head over to @ClarenceHouse to see the second photograph."
"The Queen and The Prince of Wales enjoy a walk in the grounds of Frogmore House, Windsor. This image is one of two released to mark the Easter weekend. Head over to @RoyalFamily to see the second photograph," the second caption read.
In the first photo, Charles, 72 — who sported a tan jacket and dark pants — was smiling for the camera, while Elizabeth, 94 — who wore a floral scarf around her head and a green jacket — also let out a chuckle.
In the second photo, the two posed in front of beautiful flowers.
Of course, fans couldn't get enough of the sweet moment. One person wrote, "Such a wonderful picture. God bless the Queen and Prince Charles. Happy Easter," while another echoed, "My goodness, the Queen looks fantastic, better than many who are decades younger. Lovely photograph."
A third user added, "What a fabulous picture. I have tremendous respect for our Queen. The amount of stress she must have endured lately, and still she manages to smile."
This is the first time the Queen and Charles have been seen in public since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's tell-all. While chatting with Oprah Winfrey, the former actress claimed someone in the royal family was "concerned" over Archie's skin color.
A few days later, the Queen released a statement about the accusations.
“The following statement is issued by Buckingham Palace on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen,” the statement, which was shared on social media on Tuesday, March 9, began.
“The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Meghan and Harry. The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning. Whilst some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately. Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved family members.”
Winfrey later confirmed that the Queen and Prince Philip were not part of those conversations.
Meanwhile, Charles "feels enormously let down" by the accusations, a source revealed.
"The prince believes in diversity and his actions show that," the insider told PEOPLE. "He was the first person to highlight the Windrush generation [the first mass immigration from the Caribbean to the U.K. in the 1950s] and the contributions they made to British society. He has worked hard for the Muslim community. Of all the members of the royal family, he has taken this issue the most seriously."
