Jewels from one of King Charles’ crowns were kept in a biscuit tin in a dungeon

Never-before-seen pictures of King Charles with his two eldest grandkids have been spotted by viewers in a special BBC royal documentary.

With royal engagements taking place all across the globe, members of the royal family live a rather jetset lifestyle. From meet and greets in Scotland to state visits to Germany, King Charles III ’s role as monarch has taken him to various countries in recent months where he has met people from all different walks of life.

For all the excitement and anticipation surrounding his coronation, King Charles will no doubt find the landmark day a bittersweet experience. While on the one hand he’s likely to feel immense pride when he’s finally crowned King, experts believe there will inevitably be a part of him that is tinged with sadness as he remembers the monarch who preceded him – his beloved mother, Queen Elizabeth II.

With just days to go until the Coronation, three new photographs of King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla have been released. The new portraits show the couple, who will next Saturday be officially crowned, posing in the blue drawing room at Buckingham Palace. The photos were taken by Hugo Burnard, who also took the Royal couple's wedding pictures back in 2005.

On what would have been Queen Elizabeth's 97th birthday, King Charles III shared a tribute to his late mother on a bittersweet day for the Royal family. The Royal family's official Twitter and Instagram accounts posted a picture of the late Queen, which was taken just months before her death in September last year.

It was revealed earlier this year that the Queen Consort will be crowned alongside King Charles on May 6 at Westminster Abbey with Queen Mary's Crown, rather than have another Crown made from scratch.The palace said the decision had been made “in the interests of sustainability and efficiency.” The last time a consort's crown was reused was in the 18th century, when Queen Caroline, consort of King George II, wore Mary of Modena’s (wife of King James II's) crown. Even though the artefact is being re-used, there are two key ways that it is being altered to reflect Camilla's own personality - one of which pays a special tribute to the late Queen.
