Prince George has attended the Festival of Remembrance alongside King Charles, Queen Camilla, and Catherine, Princess of Wales, at the Royal Albert Hall. This event takes place on the eve of Remembrance Sunday, honoring those who lost their lives in service.
Festival Celebrates Military Service and History
The audience applauded as the royals arrived with a fanfare, marking the occasion. Among the attendees were Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and his wife, as this year commemorates 80 years since the end of World War II.
This event also reflects on the 25-year anniversary of the end of a ban on LGBTQ+ individuals serving in the military. It acknowledged the discrimination they faced and included members of the LGBTQ+ veterans charity Fighting With Pride.
Performances and Tributes at the Event
This year was likely 12-year-old George’s first attendance, where he partnered with his mother, Catherine. She wore a handmade poppy as they applauded the Chelsea Pensioners, retired veterans who contributed to the military.
The event featured performances by artists, including Sir Rod Stewart and the participation of military bands. Hannah Waddingham hosted the show, honoring her grandfather’s memories of service.
