Kensington Palace releases message from Kate Middleton and Prince William.
Prince William and Kate Middleton marked a significant event in London in the absence of King Charles, who is on his first royal tour of 2025.
The Prince and Princess of Wales, who made their first joint appearance for a royal engagement, stepped out in London to attend a sombre service to remember of a tragic past.
Kensington Palace on Monday shared a video of highlights from the emotional service. Kate and William also shared a message alongside the video to express their sentiments.
“A solemn moment of remembrance and hope for the future at today’s Holocaust Memorial Day service,” the message read. “Honoured to take part in this important event to commemorate the lives lost in the Holocaust and other genocides.”
Previously, royal sources had revealed that William will be taking charge on behalf of the monarch. However, Kate had joined her husband “last-minute” for the important engagement.
