Princess Kate has just made an important announcement, one that is decisive for the entire royal family
The Princess of Wales will attend two major events this weekend, it has been announced.
A Palace statement said: “Members of the Royal Family will attend the annual Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall. His Majesty The King became Patron of the Royal British Legion earlier this year.
“The Festival will be attended by His Majesty The King, The Prince and Princess of Wales, The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, The Princess Royal and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, and The Duke of Kent.”
The following day, she will head to the Cenotaph, to attend the Remembrance Sunday service, the palace confirmed.
On both occasions, Kate will be joined by Prince William – although the Prince of Wales is expected to play a more active role during the service on Sunday, with his wife instead attending the sombre ceremony from one of the Foreign Office’s balconies overlooking the Cenotaph, as she has done in previous years.
On Sunday, the heir to the throne will lay the wreath previously laid by King Charles as the former Prince of Wales, featuring The Prince of Wales’s feathers. The wreath bears a new ribbon in Welsh red.
The Palace added: “The King and Members of the Royal Family will attend the annual Remembrance Day Service at The Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday.
The Prince and Princess of Wales, The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, The Princess Royal and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, and The Duke of Kent will also attend the Service.”
