All smiles for the cameras: Pregnant Kate gets a kiss from the in-laws after Charles complained he doesn't see enough of George
Published: 10:21 EST, 9 March 2015
He might not see as much of his grandson George as he would like but the Prince of Wales was all smiles when he came face-to-face with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at Westminster Abbey today.
Charles and his wife, the Duchess of Cornwall, were attending the Commonwealth Day Observance service, and stood with William and Kate as they waited for the Queen to arrive.
Any troubles appeared well hidden, with the Duchess, who has less than six weeks to go before giving birth, smiling broadly as she arrived on the arm of Prince William, himself recently returned from a successful tour of China and Japan.

Big kiss: Prince Charles planted a kiss on his daughter-in-law's cheek as he arrived for the Commonwealth Day Observance service
Kiss and make up: Charles was all smiles as he greeted Kate, despite, according to reports, being unhappy with how little he sees George
Having a chat: The Duke of Cambridge bends down to speak to his step-mother, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall
Gathering: The Duchess of Cambridge also traded kisses with Camilla before enjoying a joke with the Prince of Wales
The main event: The two royal couples stood silently as they waited for the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh to arrive
Organised by the Royal Commonwealth Society, the Commonwealth Day Observance service is the biggest multi-faith celebration in the UK, with the hour-long service attended by a mixture of Royals, politicians and High Commissioners, as well as more than 1,000 children.
An annual tradition, the event is intended to celebrate the richness and diversity of the Commonwealth, which, along with the UK, also includes Canada, Australia and New Zealand, as well as India, Uganda and Kenya among many others.
Despite being more than eight months pregnant, Kate, 33, was elegant in a pale pink non-maternity coat with pearl buttons by Alexander McQueen, which she last wore for 2013's Trooping the Colour ceremony, and a shell pink hat by milliner Jane Taylor.
Camilla, meanwhile, opted for a chic navy blue ensemble by favourite designer Bruce Oldfield and a matching Philip Treacy hat, while the Queen chose a pretty ivory wool-tweed coat by couturier Karl Ludwig and a hat by Angela Kelly.
The apparent closeness of the two couples is at odds with reports last week that Charles has been left unhappy by what he describes as 'the March of the Middletons' and his concern over what he sees as his 'peripheral' role in his grandson's life.
Warm words: The Duchess of Cambridge stopped to chat with some of the younger guests as she made her way out afterwards
Is that for me? The Queen smiles broadly as she is presented with a bouquet of roses by a waiting schoolgirl
