Princess of Wales Stands with Duchess Sophie Amid Queen’s Health Concerns
Kate Middleton stepped into a prominent role during Remembrance Sunday, making a solemn appearance as she represented the royal family in Queen Camilla’s absence due to health issues.
The Princess of Wales led senior royals, taking her place on the balcony of the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office to honour the fallen soldiers. As the highest-ranked royal present, this marks Kate’s second major engagement following her completion of chemotherapy treatment earlier this year.
Standing by Kate’s side was Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, as Queen Camilla was advised by doctors to skip the event due to a chest infection. Buckingham Palace issued a statement explaining, “Following doctors’ guidance for a full recovery from a seasonal chest infection, and to protect others from any potential risk, Her Majesty will not attend this weekend’s Remembrance events.”
The Palace added, “While this is a source of great disappointment to The Queen, she will observe the day privately at home and hopes to return to her public duties early next week.”
Kate’s presence at the event highlighted her growing role within the royal family, stepping up in support of King Charles during this important commemoration.
