This was the touching moment a young girl handed Prince William a Paddington Bear toy outside Windsor Castle.
William was greeting crowds outside Windsor Castle alongside Kate, Prince Harry and Meghan on Saturday after Charles III was officially proclaimed King in a lavish ceremony.
Hundreds of mourners were able to meet and greet the two couples as the 'Fab Four' reunited for a 40 minute walkabout, reading floral tributes and reflecting.
One moving moment was caught on camera as a little girl passed the stuffed toy to Prince William, which he accepted with a big 'thank you'.

Many people have been leaving Paddington tributes and even marmalade sandwiches at the gates of the royal palaces as a moving nod to the heartwarming skit the Queen took part in for her Platinum Jubilee earlier this year.

In the short sketch, the Queen enjoyed afternoon tea with the quintessentially British bear, pulling a marmalade sandwich from her handbag as she declared she was keeping it "for later".
Since news broke on Thursday of her death, so many Paddington toys have been left alongside flowers that grieving crowds have been warned they could pose a risk to the environment and even local wildlife.
The Royal Parks charity asked well-wishers "to only lay organic or compostable material", with some people resorting to removing plastic wrapping from bouquets.
Some marmalade sandwiches meanwhile have already been seen to be going green with mould.
"Unfortunately, no gifts and artefacts will be accepted, and the public will be asked not to bring these to the parks," a spokesperson for Royal Parks said.
"Non-floral objects/artefacts such as teddy bears or balloons should not be brought."
