Queen Camilla and King Charles III appeared to tear up as a veteran went off-script to praise the monarch amid his cancer battle.

The emotional moment happened at a ceremony commemorating the 80th anniversary of VJ Day on Friday, August 15, marking the end of World War II. Captain Yavar Abbas took the stage for a reading from his war diary, but before he began, the 105-year-old veteran had some kind words for Charles, 76.

“Before I read the excerpt, I make due apologies for briefly going off the script to salute my brave King,” he said while raising a hand in salute, “who is here with his beloved Queen in spite of the fact that he’s under treatment for cancer.”

The camera then cut to Charles and Camilla, 78, both visibly emotional, wiping tears from their eyes.
