King Charles and Queen Camilla attended as part of the conclusion to the national VE Day commemorations.<\/p>\n

The royal children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis – were notably absent from the evening’s festivities.<\/p>\n

This was due to it being a school night for the young royals, aged 11, 10 and seven respectively.<\/p>\n

The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh have been steadfast supporters of the royal family throughout the VE Day celebrations.<\/p>\n
