Kate joins royal family at Festival of Remembrance
The Independent
|November 10, 2024
The Princess of Wales has taken a significant step in her gradual return to public royal duties by attending the Festival of Remembrance.
Joined by the Prince of Wales and the King, her presence at the Royal British Legion event comes after William spoke candidly of how 2024 has been “brutal” and “probably been the hardest year in my life”, with his wife and his father both diagnosed with cancer.
Charles received applause as he took his seat next to the Princess Royal at last night’s event at the Royal Albert Hall, which honoured sacrifices made by the British and Commonwealth armed forces community and included musical performances and personal testimonies.
The crowd stood and applauded as the King entered to a royal fanfare by state trumpeters of the household division.
During the Festival, William and Kate, both wearing poppies, applauded a performance by Sir Tom Jones – who sang “I Won’t Crumble With You If You Fall” with the central band of the Royal Air Force – and joined other members of the royal family in standing to clap Second World War veterans.
