When it comes to the royal family, there’s never a shortage of iconic photos. Whether it's Prince William and Kate Middleton looking stunning or Queen Camilla and Duchess Sophie serving timeless elegance, the royal archives are basically a style goldmine. King Charles is no exception and Buckingham Palace just dropped another stunning photo of the monarch that has royal fans talking.

The post, shared on Monday, July 7, marked the 20th anniversary of the 7/7 bombings in London. To honor the day, King Charles shared a heartfelt written message (complete with his signature) but it’s the second slide that truly stood out. The image shows the monarch standing alone in a dark suit during his visit to the memorial site. While others linger in the background, the photo captures a quiet, emotional moment that really speaks volumes.

“Today, as we mark twenty years since the tragic events of 7th July 2005, my heartfelt thoughts and special prayers remain with all those whose lives were forever changed on that terrible Summer's day,” Charles wrote.

“While the horrors will never be forgotten, we may take comfort from the way such events rally communities together in solidarity, solace and determination. It is this spirit of unity that has helped London, and our nation, to heal,” he continued.

“As we remember those we lost, let us therefore use this 20th anniversary to reaffirm our commitment to building a society where people of all faiths and backgrounds can live together with mutual respect and understanding, always standing firm against those who would seek to divide us.”

Just last week, royal watchers were treated to another round of King Charles content—this time in a lighter mood. During the historic Ceremony of the Keys at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, he looked especially dapper in a beige blazer, matching trousers, and a bold green-and-red striped tie.

The caption read: “Today, the historic Ceremony of the Keys took place in the Gardens of the Palace of Holyroodhouse. Dating back centuries, this tradition symbolises Edinburgh welcoming its monarch.”
