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.
