Prince Edward's absence from King Charles's premiere of the monarch's new documentary has been explained.
The Duke of Edinburgh was in attendance at the Tower of London for the unveiling of The King's Champion's Coronation Armour.
Edward, 61, joined an auditorium for the acquisition of a complete suit of Maximilian-style armour, dating around the 1500s.
The royal armoury was provided thanks to funding from the National Heritage Memorial Fund.

It looks back at the King's philosophy and lifelong commitment to green issues.
The 90-minute film shows His Majesty urging people to take a more serious approach to the climate, with mankind "actually destroying our means to survival".
