It's not often that we get to see Queen Camilla in full grandma-mode during her royal duties. But last week, she was all warmth and smiles while attending an event put on by the Royal Air Force at their station near Leeming, North Yorkshire, in England. A video posted to the royal family's official Instagram shows fans snippets of Camilla's visit.

While touring the grounds, Her Majesty was able to visit the station's wellness area, was shown defense equipment and even got to see the chicken coops before watching a flypast display with three hawk jets. But the sweetest moment appears at the very end of the video where Camilla meets with a woman and her young baby.

The Queen, dressed in a royal blue dress with lace detailing and a sparkling silver brooch with a set of wings, greeted the mother with a handshake and then immediately looked down toward her baby saying, "Hello, Rose!", all the while playing with the young baby's feet.

Even though Camilla is tasked with a number of royal duties to keep her busy during the day, she's never one to shy away from connecting with her fans both young and old despite the hectic schedule she maintains. She frequently shares lovely moments with those around her, like when she did 'the wave' at Wimbledon this past July.

Her Majesty is a grandmother to 10 children from her marriages to Andrew Parker-Bowles and King Charles. She has five grandchildren from her biological children as well as five very-well known step-grandchildren (the Windsors).

Her two children, Tom Parker Bowles and Laura Lopes, each had their own kids, totaling five. Tom and his wife Sarah had two children, Lola, 16 and Freddy, 13, while Laura and her husband Harry had three children, Eliza, 16, and twin sons Gus and Louis, both 14.

Meanwhile, we are all very familiar with her step-grandchildren, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis and Prince Louis, all from Prince William and Princess Catherine, as well as her two step-grandchildren from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Prince Archie Harrison and Princess Lilibet "Lili" Diana.

We can't wait to see many more of these special interactions from the Queen.
