Royal Moment: Prince William and King Charles' heartfelt moment steals the show

King Charles III was crowned as King of the United Kingdom in a massive coronation ceremony on May 6. The coronation happened on May 6, and both King Charles and Queen Camilla made their way to Westminster Abbey from Buckingham Palace via the Diamond Jubilee Coach. During King Charles' coronation, his son Prince William pledged his allegiance to him. He kneeled before the King, and recited the words, "I, William, Prince of Wales, pledge my loyalty to you and faith and truth I will bear unto you, as your liege man of life and limb. So help me God". After he pecked a kiss on his father's cheek following the speech, the two appeared to be sharing an emotional moment with each other. 

King Charles looked at Prince William and thanked him for his pledge. Clips from the moment are currently making rounds on social media.
