This is the touching moment Prince William offers his stepmother Camilla, the Queen Consort, a guiding hand before she signed her husband's declaration.

It marks a new era for the Prince of Wales and the Queen Consort after years of a difficult relationship while his mother Princess Diana split from Charles in 1992, and later divorce in 1996.

The hugely public breakdown of Charles and Diana's marriage also displayed the frosty relationship between the now-Queen Consort and her stepson.

While William and Camilla's relationship was not easy at first or for a number of years after her marriage to his father, he is closer with his stepmother and now especially so after the loss of Queen Elizabeth II

Today Prince William and Queen Camilla attended the historic ceremony at St James's Palace where King Charles III met with the Accession Council.

And as they walked into the hall where they were met with the Archbishop of Canterbury and several senior government officials, the Prince of Wales kindly put his arm out as he walked behind his stepmother, the Queen Consort.

The heartwarming gesture showed the pair having moved into a warmed stage in their relationship after years of difficult familial issues that the heir has slowly moved past. 

They stood behind the King as he made his personal declaration on Saturday morning, showing a strong front despite years of heartache for Prince William who struggled with the loss of his mother and acceptance of his new stepmother.

Although Charles and Diana separated in 1992, their relationship 'irretrievably broke down' in 1986, with the new King having begun an affair that same year with Camilla. 

The public image of both Charles and Camilla was tainted while William's mother Diana was held in high regard - leaving the young prince to put up a wall with his stepmother, which he has only recently begun to break down.

King Charles III made a personal declaration on the death of his beloved mother Queen Elizabeth II as Britain's new monarch was formally announced.

Paying tribute to the Queen at the Accession Council, the King said: 'Her reign was unequalled in its duration, its dedication and its devotion. Even as we grieve, we give thanks for this most faithful life.'

Making his declaration, Charles III said: 'My lords, ladies and gentlemen, it is my most sorrowful duty to announce to you the death of my beloved mother the Queen. I know how deeply you, the entire nation, and I think I may say the whole world, sympathise with me in the irreparable loss we've all suffered.
