Arranged on a table to the right was another special shot: King Charles holdingPrince Georgeon hischristening dayin October 2013. In royal custom, a 3-month-old George adorably wore a traditional christening gown that was a handmade replica of the one made for the christening of Queen Victoria’s eldest daughter, Victoria, Princess Royal, in 1841.

Charles beamed in the photo with his firstborn grandchild, who is the son ofPrince WilliamandKate Middleton. The presentation of the picture during the Monday meeting was symbolic, as George, 9, is second line to the throne. The young royal is poised to follow in the footsteps of his grandfather, and eventually his father, as King one day.
A grandfather of five, King Charles is also a grandpa to William and Kate’s younger children —Princess Charlotte, 7, andPrince Louis, 4, as well asPrince HarryandMeghan Markle’s two little ones —Archie, 3, andLilibet, 1.
