Camilla, then the Duchess of Cornwall, is wearing a green suit and matching hat with a pheasant motif, and pearl earrings.
The late Queen missed the event due to her declining health.
Last week Charles joined the Archbishop of Canterbury for a reception with Christian Communities at King’s House in north London.
The King, also with the Bishop of London and the Coptic Orthodox Archbishop of London, met volunteers running local initiatives in King’s Cross.
He then attended an Advent Service at the Ethiopian Christian Fellowship Church UK across the road.
Before leaving, Charles unveiled a plaque officially opening King’s House.
“Can I wish everybody as blessed a Christmas as possible for you all,” he said.
“I am so impressed by all the wonderful things that have happened here in every corner of the building.
