Prince William has been pictured for the first time since Princess Kate issued an official apology today over the Mother's Day photograph released by Kensington Palace.
The Prince of Wales joined Queen Camilla and other working members of the Royal Family at Westminster Abbey today for the Commonwealth Service.
Prince Edward, the Duchess of Edinburgh and Princess Anne also attended the event.
It comes as the Princess of Wales issued a statement earlier today apologising for editing the first official photograph released of her since undergoing abdominal surgery in January.

Kate wrote on the social media platform: "Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing.
"I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused.
"I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother’s Day. C"
The photograph of Kate alongside her three children was posted to mark Mother's Day.
The Prince of Wales took the photograph of Kate, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

However, it was removed from all major international photography platforms after editing issues were spotted.
While AP, Getty and Reuters all removed the photograph from their platforms on Sunday due to fears that it had been manipulated, PA sought clarification from Kensington Palace.
PA, the UK's national news agency, released a statement this morning confirming they had joined the other major photo agencies in "killing" the picture after Kensington Palace failed to provide them with clarification.
A spokesperson for PA said: "Like other news agencies, PA Media issued the handout image provided by Kensington Palace of the Princess of Wales and her children in good faith yesterday.

"We became aware of concerns about the image and we carried a report about it last night, and made clear that we were seeking urgent clarification about the image from Kensington Palace.
"In the absence of that clarification, we are killing the image from our picture service."
Princess Kate's apology came less than an hour after PA confirmed they had removed the photo.
The Princess of Wales is not expected to return to royal duties until after Easter.
