News Desk

LONDON: King Charles III and Prince William are set to lead the British Royal Family’s annual tribute to the nation’s fallen heroes at the Cenotaph in London on November 9, as the country prepares to mark Remembrance Sunday.

Buckingham Palace has confirmed that senior members of the Royal Family, including Queen Camilla, Kate Middleton, Princess Anne and Prince Edward, will attend the traditional ceremony to honour those who lost their lives in wars.

The King, who is expected to return from his Caribbean tour before the event, will lead the national commemorations alongside the Prince of Wales. Both Charles and William will lay wreaths at the Cenotaph in tribute to Britain’s war dead.

The floral tributes will carry personal royal touches reflecting the traditions and identities of their respective members. The King’s wreath will feature black leaves and ribbons in his racing colours of scarlet, purple and gold, following the customary design used by the sovereign.

Queen Camilla’s wreath will also reflect her racing colours, which she inherited from her father. Her equerry will place the tribute on her behalf.

Meanwhile, Prince William’s wreath will feature the Prince of Wales feathers and a ribbon in Welsh red.

Queen Camilla, Kate Middleton and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, will watch the commemorative service from the balcony of the Foreign Office.

Remembrance Sunday is observed annually across the United Kingdom to honour members of the armed forces who died in conflicts, with the Cenotaph ceremony serving as the central national tribute.
