SO EMOTIONAL! CHARLES III COULDN’T HOLD BACK HIS TEARS, AND CATHERINE SURPRISED WITH HER JEWELLERY
Fans of the royal family were touched by the way the royals emotionally expressed their feelings at a recent public appearance.
Great Britain held a Remembrance Day for the fallen. Princess Catherine of Wales appeared in a symbolic image at a commemorative event at London’s Royal Albert Hall.
Her Highness wore Queen Elizabeth II’s favourite necklace at the unveiling of her statue.
This day remembers all those who died in conflicts involving Britain. Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the day holds special significance for her entire family. The Princess of Wales wore an elegant tight-fitting black dress to the ceremony, which she accessorised with a traditional red poppy pin – the symbol of Remembrance Day. Princess Catherine’s main accessory was a pearl necklace around her neck, which used to belong to Her Majesty.
It was pearl jewellery that the late Elizabeth II loved most of all, and this necklace had a special place in her collection. The future Queen’s father gave her one pearl every year from the moment she was born, so that by the age of 18 she would have her own necklace.
Next to Catherine, her husband was also present at the ceremony. Prince William of Wales wore a traditional dark suit, complete with his regalia.
King Charles III and his wife Queen Camilla also attended the event. They unveiled a statue of Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Philip. At the same time, the British king could not hold back tears. This touching moment found an echo in the hearts of fans. They expressed their support for the members of the royal family in social networks.
King Charles III seemed ready to burst into tears while remembering his late parents.
Charles and his wife, Queen Camilla, unveiled new statues in memory of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip on Saturday at the Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance at Royal Albert Hall.
Photos taken of the 75-year-old monarch during the touching event showed what appeared to be tears welling up in his eyes as he looked on with a proud gaze.
Charles was tasked with pulling the curtain away from the exquisite statue of his mother, while Camilla, 76, did the honors for Philp’s statue.
The statue unveiling was part of a greater ceremony for Remembrance Day, which recognizes those who have sacrificed their lives to serve and protect the Commonwealth.
Several members of the royal family came together to commemorate the occasion, including Prince William and Kate Middleton, Prince Edward and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, Princess Anne and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and Duke of Kent.
Of course, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were not present, but they celebrated Veteran’s Day in California by meeting veterans at Camp Pendleton in San Diego.
The diamond-and-pearl accessory — called the Courtauld Thomson Scallop-Shell Brooch — was “designed in part by Sir Courtauld Thomson, who was the son of a famous Scottish inventor” in 1919, per the Court Jeweller.
Camilla wore it on the first day of her and Charles’ royal tour of Kenya.
Kenya is where Elizabeth learned in 1952 that her father, King George VI, had died — making her the queen.
Queen Elizabeth, who was the longest-reigning monarch in British history, died in September 2022 at the age of 96.
Following his mother’s death, Charles expressed that it was “a moment of the greatest sadness.”
