Kate Middleton has made history as King Charles handed the Princess of Wales a leading role to mark Anzac Day.
Kate stepped forward on behalf of King Charles to honor Australian and New Zealand service personnel at London’s annual Anzac Day commemorations.
For the first time as a working royal, Kate attended the wreath-laying ceremony and parade at the Cenotaph, where she wore a poppy and laid a wreath on the King’s behalf.
The service was organized by the New Zealand and Australian High Commissions.
Hundreds of people watched the ceremony.
The note, signed by Prince William and Kate Middleton, on top of a ring of white flowering poppies reads, “In memory of the Australian and New Zealand soldiers who made the supreme sacrifice for our freedom.”
Later, Kensington Palace shared a video of Kate, saying, “From Gallipoli to today. On ANZAC Day honoring all the Australians and New Zealanders who have given so much in service. Lest we forget.”
Following the ceremony at the Cenotaph, Kate joined worshipers at Westminster Abbey for a service of commemoration and thanksgiving.
Westminster Abbey shared the video, saying, “HRH The Princess of Wales arrives at Westminster Abbey for our annual #ANZACDay commemoration.
“This service marks the anniversary of the 1915 Gallipoli landing and remembers all Australians and New Zealanders who have served their countries.”
