The Princess of Wales will be joining her husband to commemorate and celebrate the life of Queen Elizabeth II today, on the third anniversary of her passing. William was originally due to attend the engagement in Sunningdale alone but it is understood Kate was keen to join her husband to celebrate the life of the late Queen.
The late Queen died three years ago on September 8 at Balmoral, Aberdeenshire.
The King and Queen are not set to publicly mark the anniversary today, having attended church in Balmoral yesterday. Sir Keir Starmer and his wife Lady Victoria Starmer joined the royal couple at Crathie Kirk near Balmoral on Sunday morning, for the regular service. Prayers were said for the Duchess of Kent and to mark the third anniversary of the King’s Accession, with elements of dress reflecting the period of royal mourning.
Earlier on Monday, Buckingham Palace shared a smiling picture of the late Queen to mark the three-year anniversary of her passing.
Prince Harry is returning to the UK today, having already been pictured leaving Los Angeles International airport.
Tonight the Duke of Sussex will be in London for the annual WellChild Awards, a cause close to his heart as the charity’s long-standing patron, before travelling to a community recording studio in Nottingham on Tuesday.
It is not known whether the duke, who is estranged from his brother, the Prince of Wales, and has a troubled relationship with his father, the King, will stage a reunion during his stay.
Harry and Charles last met face-to-face more than a year-and-a-half ago when the duke made a transatlantic dash to see the monarch in February 2024 after hearing of his cancer diagnosis, but they spent just over 30 minutes together before the King left to recuperate in Sandringham.
