The Princess of Wales will be joining senior members of the Royal Family at two official events on both Saturday and Sunday, Buckingham Palace has announced.

On Saturday, Princess Kate will head to the Royal Albert Hall to attend the Festival of Remembrance, a stunning and poignant concert paying tribute every year to those who gave their lives to keep Britain safe.

A Palace statement said: “Members of the Royal Family will attend the annual Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall. His Majesty The King became Patron of the Royal British Legion earlier this year.

“The Festival will be attended by His Majesty The King, The Prince and Princess of Wales, The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, The Princess Royal and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, and The Duke of Kent.”

The following day, she will head to the Cenotaph, to attend the Remembrance Sunday service, the palace confirmed.

On both occasions, Kate will be joined by Prince William – although the Prince of Wales is expected to play a more active role during the service on Sunday, with his wife instead attending the sombre ceremony from one of the Foreign Office’s balconies overlooking the Cenotaph, as she has done in previous years.

On Sunday, the heir to the throne will lay the wreath previously laid by King Charles as the former Prince of Wales, featuring The Prince of Wales’s feathers. The wreath bears a new ribbon in Welsh red.

The Palace added: “The King and Members of the Royal Family will attend the annual Remembrance Day Service at The Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday.

“The Prince and Princess of Wales, The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, The Princess Royal and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, and The Duke of Kent will also attend the Service.”

The announcement marks the next significant step in Kate’s gradual return to public royal duties, as she prepares to join the King and the Prince of Wales to honour the nation’s fallen.

It comes after William revealed how 2024 has been “brutal” and “probably been the hardest year in my life” with both Kate and the King having been diagnosed with cancer.
