Ooni and Olori Naomi's reunion moment
In the recording, the former royal couple was seen together alongside their son, sharing what many described as a natural, easy chemistry.
At one point, the noise level at the venue made communication difficult, and Olori Naomi leaned in close to the monarch to whisper something to him directly. The Ooni, meanwhile, was attentive to their son throughout.
