The Prince of Wales welcomed Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi at Clarence House for a socially estranged gathering this week. The queen’s eldest son was photographed inside their elaborate reception rooms smiling as he stood more than two meters away from his guest.
The spacious room was filled with antiques and two wooden chests flanked the fireplace.
Fans of eagle-eyed royalty noticed a family photo on one of the chests – an official photo of Prince William, Kate, and their families taken on their wedding day in April 2011.
The photo, taken in the Throne Room at Buckingham Palace, shows the couple center stage, with the Queen and Prince Philip seated to one side.
Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall stand behind their parents as does Prince Harry, who acted as best man that day.
The Middletons are on the other side of the bride and groom as they smile at the camera.
Kate and William’s nuptials attracted great media attention and were in many ways compared to Charles’s wedding to Princess Diana in 1981.
Kate and William’s big day was a public holiday in the UK and fans were able to get a taste of some of the more elaborate ceremonial aspects of the Royal Family.
Celebrations were held in many Commonwealth countries to mark the wedding of the heir to the throne.

He resigned from office when assigned the task of forming a government.
The approval of a new government ended months of stalemate as Iraq battled an economic crisis and the coronavirus pandemic.
As he prepares to become king, Charles intensifies his work with foreign dignitaries.
Earlier this month, the prince traveled to Kuwait on a visit of condolences.
On behalf of the Royal Family, he paid his respects to the new Emir, Sheikh Nawaf Al Ahmed Al Sabah, on the passing of the late Emir, Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmed Al Sabah.
The country’s ruler died at the age of 91 after having been in a hospital in the United States since the summer.
The queen said she paid tribute to the former emir in a statement posted on Twitter.
She said: “It will be remembered for a long time by all who work for regional stability, understanding between nations and religions, and for the humanitarian cause.
“I have deeply appreciated his friendship with the UK and his memorable state visit in November 2012.”
