At noon on November 13th local time, London, England held a "Remembrance Sunday" event to commemorate the people who died in past wars.
This is the first memorial activity after the death of Queen Elizabeth II , and it is also the first time that Charles III was led by this activity as the king . Although he has presented flowers to the tombstone on behalf of his mother since 2017, his identity this time is very different.
From the scene, we can see that 73-year-old Charles is at the forefront, with his younger sister Princess Anne and his eldest son Princess Wales William, and his youngest younger brother Prince Edward also participated, but this time the shot was not given.
At 11 am local time, Big Ben rang 11 times. This cultural relic that represents Britain was put into use for the first time after years of maintenance.
According to the " Daily Mail ", Charles, who led the ceremony for the first time, was obviously a little excited, but he forced himself to calm down before presenting the garland.
royal women are usually arranged to stand on the balcony of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to watch the ceremony. The queen is gone, and Camilla, who has been promoted to queen, naturally becomes the protagonist. As the Princess of Wales, Kate , is standing next to her stepmother-in-law. On days like this they all look serious.
, wearing a veil, seemed to wipe away tears from his eyes with his hands.
However, the media also captured a picture of this, that is, when the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law first met, they looked very harmonious and harmonious.
Although Queen Elizabeth II was still alive when she held the memorial event last year, she announced her withdrawal at the last moment before the ceremony. A statement issued by Buckingham Palace stated, "The Queen sprained her back and was forced to make a decision. She was unable to attend the ceremony. The Queen was disappointed with the event she was about to miss." Thinking about it now, the Queen's physical condition was not very good at that time. Later, she was able to participate in the celebration of the 70th anniversary of her reign, which was also a strong boost.
The Queen was absent, and Camilla, Kate and Princess Sophie stood shoulder to shoulder on the balcony, but this time it seemed that only Camilla and Kate were there, and Sophie did not appear in the camera.
The last time the Queen attended the memorial service was probably in 2019. At that time, she wiped away the tears on her cheeks, which left a deep impression on the world.
Perhaps it was because she remembered the Queen's Grandmother. After the heavy music sounded, Kate's eyes were filled with tears, and it could also be felt from her tightly pursed lips. She was trying to control herself from crying. After
Kate closed his eyes, probably because he wanted to use the method of adjusting his breathing to restore calmness.
In addition to Queen Camilla and Princess Kate, the current British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak 's wife Akshata Murthi, and other former Prime Minister's spouses , but they did not stand on the same balcony as the two royal women.
Akshata, 42, was born in India. After getting married, she did not change her husband's surname. Maybe it was because her father was strong enough. Standing on the balcony with Akshata were also Tony Blair 's wife Cherie Blair , "45 Days Prime Minister" Elizabeth Trass 's husband Hugh O'Leary, Theresa May 's husband Philip May .
that day Kate arrived in London with her husband Prince William from her residence near Windsor Castle. It is reported that the black coat Kate wore that day was new, and the diamonds and pearl earrings swaying in his ears were one of the favorite jewelry he had during his lifetime.
