The Prince and Princess of Wales have made a major change to their social media accounts over the weekend. While attending separate events on Saturday, the couple reunited on Sunday for the Remembrance commemorations at Whitehall.
Their X (formerly Twitter) account, Kensington Royal, temporarily changed its profile picture to a photo of the couple at the Royal British Legion’s Festival of Remembrance in 2024. This is standard for the account during the period of Remembrance.
They also shared a message on Remembrance Sunday, saying: “On Remembrance Sunday, we pause to reflect on the extraordinary bravery and sacrifice of all who have served – and continue to serve – in defence of our freedoms. We remember them, today and always.”
The Prince and Princess of Wales later added: “Each year it is an honour to take part in Remembrance Sunday at the Cenotaph in London alongside other members of the Royal Family and in front of veterans and their families. Lest We Forget.”
Princess Kate was joined by her son, Prince George, at Saturday’s Festival of Remembrance, which honours the service of, and the sacrifices made by, the British and Commonwealth Armed Forces.
The event at Royal Albert Hall marks the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II and is organised by the Royal Legion, of which King Charles was made patron in 2024.
Kate and George joined King Charles and Queen Camilla, along with the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, for the evening with performances from Sir Rod Stewart, Hannah Waddingham, Sam Ryder and more.
Missing from the Saturday event was Prince William, as he was flying back from his trip to the COP30 summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where he delivered a speech to world leaders about climate change.
The prince called for “courage, co-operation and unwavering commitment” to tackle the climate crisis, warning of a “critical tipping point” ahead.
The Prince and Princess of Wales then attended the Remembrance Sunday commemorations at the Cenotaph in Whitehall, London, where William laid a wreath alongside High Commissioners from the Commonwealth.
