The Royal Family were very busy on Thursday as seven members of the family stepped out for public engagements all on the same day. While the Royal Family tend to step out for various engagements each week, these are usually scheduled for different days and times, giving each engagement a good amount of publicity.
However, this was not the case yesterday as seven members of the Royal Family stepped out. This included some of the most senior royals including King Charles, 76, and Queen Camilla, 78.
On Thursday morning, the King and Queen were spotted in Albert Hall in Ballater together, which is close to their Birkhall home.
The couple spent time at the village hall to celebrate its 150th anniversary with members of the local community.
Elsewhere on Thursday morning, Princess Kate made a heartwarming visit to Home-Start Oxford.
On this solo visit, Kate, 43, met and spoke to parents and volunteers at the charity, whose aim is to provide care and activities to families with young children under five years old – something the princess is passionate about as a result of her work to support children.
Later in the day, more members of the Royal Family then stepped out for engagements. Among these was Sophie, The Duchess of Edinburgh, who marked World Sight Day on Thursday by presenting an award to Lioness Hannah Hampton.
The Love Your Eyes Special Recognition Award was given to Hannah by the duchess, who is an ambassador for The International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness, as a result of the footballer’s efforts to raise awareness after being born with a serious vision condition.
Other royals to then step out on Thursday night included Prince William, who joined his father King Charles at the pre-COP30 event at the Natural History Museum in London. At the event, William and his father met with British Government officials and environmentalists, as well as the Brazilian Ambassador to the U.K. Antonio de Aguiar Patriota.
Meanwhile across the pond, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle also made an appearance as they stepped out in New York City to attend a gala, where they were awarded with the Humanitarians of the Year award.
This award was given to the couple as a result of their work to help improve mental health, specifically through their Archwell Foundation. While Thursday is not usually a busy day on the royal calender, October 9 certainly was.
