Royal commentator Phil Dampier has shut down claims of a "royal row" between Prince William and King Charles, as both royals visited causes to tackle food poverty in the UK.
King Charles launched the Coronation Food Project on November 14, his 75th birthday, as the monarch and Queen Camilla spent the day visiting South Oxfordshire Food and Education Alliance in Didcot, to promote the initiative.
The project launched by King Charles will aim to "bridge the gap between food waste and food need".
Buckingham Palace said Coronation Food Project has three key aims: "Saving surplus food, growing food distribution networks and to deliver funding in support of new food-rescue schemes".
Phil Dampier says King Charles and Prince William are 'not trampling on each other's toes'

On Thursday, just days after King Charles launched his project, Prince William visited a food bank in Manchester, dubbed a "community lifeline" by those who use it.
Reflecting on his visit to the charity, the Prince of Wales said the charity is "doing so much to support the people of Moss Side in Manchester".
This follows Prince William's recent visit to Singapore for the Earthshot Prize Awards, where he vowed to "go a step further" than the royal family in his work for the causes he supports.
William stated: "Previously the family have been very much spotlighting brilliantly. I want to go a step further—I want to actually bring change."
Discussing the relationship between King Charles and his son on GB News, Phil Dampier denied that there could be a "PR battle" between the senior royals.
When asked by host Patrick Christys of the "battle", Dampier claimed: "I don't think so. I don't have a problem with this.
"Sometimes they do have clashes, but I think we're in a situation now where there's so few working royals, to be honest, that they're not normally trampling on each other's toes."
Dampier continued: "I think William and Charles are now so close that, you know, they don't even have to talk to each other. They know roughly what each other's doing. And I don't think there's any sort of one-upmanship. They're very much joined at the hip now. They're singing from the same song sheet.

"And with with Harry and Meghan not there, you know, they are very much the future of the monarchy and they've got to look hard for each other. So I don't think Charles is going to be upset by anything that William and Kate do. In fact, I think likes the fact they take some of them the spotlight."
Dampier was also joined by Lady Colin Campbell, who agreed with him on King Charles and Prince William's relationship.
Campbell revealed: "What the King and William have done is they've divided up the the alphabet, so to speak. So the King is covering A to M and William is covering N to Z. They're not really competing with each other.
"They are complementing each other in this project and they are complementing each other in many other projects. There is overlap, but there's also differentiation and there's room for for one to be complementary to the author. I think it's as simple as that."
