Queen Camilla leads members of the Royal Family at today’s memorial service

Today, Queen Camilla is a leading member of the Royal Family serving the late King Constantine of Greece at Windsor Castle.

Camilla appeared to be grinning as she arrived at the castle this morning and was greeted at the door.

She wore a somber black jacket with a subtle pinstripe, paired it with a matching skirt and a wide-brimmed hat with dark fringe.

She smiled warmly at those who had gathered to meet her before entering the hall and observing a solemn and dignified silence.

And in an emotional display of affection for her husband’s late relative, she appeared to wipe away tears as she watched the ceremony.
