Today marks the first anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's death. The late monarch passed away in September 2022 at her Balmoral estate in Scotland, aged 96.
Elizabeth gave birth to her first child, Charles, on 14 November 1948 at Buckingham Palace, when she was 22 years old. As her first born, eldest son and heir to the throne, the late monarch always had a special bond with Charles.
Back in 2018, on Prince Charles' 70th Birthday, Elizabeth delivered a powerful speech in celebration of her son's special day, which offered a hint at the strength of their relationship.
She described her son as “passionate”, “creative” and as “a duchy original,” as she raised a toast to her heir in front of family, friends and members of European royalty at Buckingham Palace.

And in his first address to the nation as King, the new monarch paid tribute to his "darling Mama" describing her “profound personal commitment” to the nation throughout her 70-year reign.
Here's a look back over some of their most heartwarming pictures together.

"This is an act so egregious that, in times gone by, the punishment would have been DEATH!" Trump said on Sept. 22 on his Truth Social platform.
