The Royal Family and senior politicians attended the Festival of Remembrance, an evening dedicated to serving personnel, veterans, and their families, at the Royal Albert Hall in London. The Princess of Wales also attended the event, marking her gradual return to public duties following her cancer chemotherapy treatment earlier this year. However, Queen Camilla was unable to attend due to a chest infection, according to the palace’s statement.
The Festival of Remembrance is one of the two most significant events on the royal calendar, paying tribute to those who dedicated their lives to serving in the military. The commemorative concert and Sunday service at the Cenotaph are both considered top-priority for the royal family. The King, who is still receiving cancer treatment, will lay a wreath at the memorial in Whitehall, London on Sunday.
After Charles received a standing ovation upon entry into the concert hall, it was announced that the King had been diagnosed with cancer in February and needed to take some time away from public life to undergo treatment. Similarly, Catherine also revealed her cancer diagnosis and had been receiving treatment. In September, she completed her treatment and expressed her desire to undertake more engagements when possible.
Both Catherine and the King have since made limited returns to public engagements. The Remembrance event marked an important milestone in Catherine’s recovery period as she had already made a few tentative returns. Catherine attended the annual Trooping the Colour parade in June, her first public appearance after being diagnosed with cancer. In September, she attended her first official work meeting since her treatment ended.
In October, the Princess visited Southport with the Prince of Wales to meet the families of three children who were killed in a knife attack in the town. On Thursday, Prince William described the last year as the “hardest year” of his life and mentioned that he was proud of his wife and father for handling everything that they had gone through. Viewers who missed out on the Festival of Remembrance can still watch it on BBC One from 2100GMT or on iPlayer
