Queen Camilla<\/a> is attending the National Service of Remembrance in Whitehall this morning, having been unable to attend last year due to a seasonal chest infection<\/a>. Cutting a solemn figure on the centre balcony of the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office overlooking Whitehall, Camilla joined the King and other senior royals to commemorate the war dead.<\/p>\n

Last year, the Princess of Wales was the highest-ranked royal on the balconies, due to the Queen’s absence<\/a>. But as Her Majesty returned to her rightful place this year, she resumed her role in leading members of the Firm from up high.<\/p>\n

Thousands have gathered in the heart of Whitehall to watch the Remembrance Service, which will see some 10,000 veterans march past the memorial. A volley from a gun fired by the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery from nearby Horse Guards Parade signalled the start of the two minutes of silent reflection, with another marking its end.<\/p>\n

The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester also watched the service from a balcony.<\/p>\n

King Charles appeared to be visibly moved<\/a> during the two-minute silence today, appearing tearful as the nation fell silent to remmeber those who served.<\/p>\n

Duchess Sophie also looked emotional as her husband Prince Edward laid a wreath, with the duchess seen wiping her eye as she watched on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Queen Camilla is attending the National Service of Remembrance in Whitehall this morning, having been unable to attend…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":559301,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[77,48911,8689,2831,2607,84329,7739,43402,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-559300","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-princess-kate-latest","10":"tag-princess-kate-news","11":"tag-princess-of-wales","12":"tag-queen-camilla","13":"tag-queen-camilla-latest","14":"tag-queen-camilla-news","15":"tag-queen-camilla-princess-kate","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115519669050584764","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/559300","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=559300"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/559300\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/559301"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=559300"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=559300"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=559300"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
