During Charles III: The Coronation Year, one official asks Prince William: “You aren’t coming to the dress rehearsal?”

The future king replies: “I’m on Friday, George and I are back here on Friday.”

Prince George then chimes in: “I am here tomorrow.”

Agreeing, Prince William corrects himself saying: “You are here tomorrow.”

Fans were quick to comment on the interaction, with one saying: " I hadn't heard George's voice before. Sweet. A future king."

Another added: "The absolute perfect family! Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana are smiling down."

The fly-on-the-wall doc aired on BBC One on Tuesday (Boxing Day).

Fans also spotted the heartwarming moment an "affectionate" King Charles kisses Prince Louis, five, - after Prince Harry claimed he "never gives hugs".

During the rehearsal, Charles is seen bending over to hug and kiss Prince George and Prince Louis.

Louis is dressed in a blazer and smart shorts for the rehearsal, while Prince George wears a suit.

The King also embraces Princess Charlotte, eight, who curtseys in homage to him and wears a pale blue patterned dress with a white cardigan.

Charles also laughed as he and Prince William practised the kiss of homage, a key part of the Coronation ceremony.

Bishop of Hereford Richard Jackson told the : "I think what struck me particularly was how extraordinarily affectionate they are.

"They're clearly a very close family, all the generations.

"In a sense you felt you're part of a family occasion as well as a royal occasion and a national occasion."

It comes after Prince Harry accused Charles of "never giving hugs" in his memoir Spare.

Harry wrote: "The older generation maintained a nearly zero-tolerance prohibition on all physical contact.

"No hugs, no kisses, no pats. Now and then, maybe a light touching of cheeks - on special occasions.

"No matter how much you might love someone, you could never cross that chasm between, say, monarch and child. Or Heir and Spare."

Buckingham Palace and Prince Harry's Archewell foundation have been contacted for comment.
