The older prince's charming poem recital is not the only time that he and Duchess Camila have warmed hearts recently. On Mother's Day, they had a beautiful post to share with their fans too!

The royal husband and wife honored their mothers with photos of them. The post featured a shot of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles sharing a hearty laugh and another snap of Camilla smiling beside her mother.

Recently, Charles and the rest of the royal family celebrated the return of his father, Prince Philip, from the hospital. The older royal has been hospitalized for weeks and underwent surgery to bring him back to good health.

The royal family certainly has a good cause to celebrate more than just the festive season brought on by St. Patrick's Day.
