Queen Camilla was spotted sharing a heartwarming moment with a young royal fan during her brief visit to Normandy on Thursday.
The Queen accompanied King Charles on his first overseas trip since his cancer diagnosis in February to attend the 80th anniversary celebrations of the D-Day landings.
Camilla, donning an elegant white morning coat and matching hat, was pictured smiling as she shared a hug with a young girl following the commemorations.
French President Emmanuel Macron could be seen taking some snaps of the pair as the girl happily kept her arms around the Queen.
The young girl, wearing a black dress with a knitted poppy pin, appeared stunned after approaching the Queen and French First Lady Brigitte Macron.

The King and Queen spearheaded the UK's national commemorative event at the British Normandy Memorial in Ver-sur-Mer.
The pair were joined by Prince William, who marked the event at Juno Beach alongside Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Labour leader Keir Starmer also attended the event paying tribute to the 22,442 service personnel killed on D-Day and during the Battle of Normandy in 1944.
The Queen was seen wiping away tears as she listened to the heartfelt tributes to veterans who travelled from all over the world to mark the momentous anniversary.
The King said thank you to old soldiers and their missing comrades during ceremonies at the newly completed British Normandy Memorial overlooking the beaches where soldiers under British command landed 80 years ago.

He said that while the number of living veterans was dwindling, “our obligation to remember what they stood for and what they achieved for us all can never diminish.”
He said: "Eighty years ago on D-Day, the 6th of June 1944, our nation – and those which stood alongside it – faced what my grandfather, King George VI, described as the supreme test.
“How fortunate we were, and the entire free world, that a generation of men and women in the United Kingdom and other allied nations did not flinch when the moment came to face that test."
Charles, who spent five years in the Royal Navy, also has a deep personal connection to the World War II generation.
His father, Prince Philip, served in the Navy throughout the war, and his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, trained as a military driver and mechanic during the final months of the conflict.
Queen Camilla’s father served in the army and was twice awarded the military cross, Britain’s third-highest military honour.
