Princess Kate will attend Remembrance Day events in London over the weekend, Buckingham Palace has said, but Queen Camilla will miss the occasion after falling ill with a chest infection.
Kate has slowly returned to public duties this year following treatment for cancer, and will attend both the Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall on Saturday evening as well as a Sunday service at the Cenotaph monument on Sunday.
The events form part of the United Kingdom’s Remembrance Day commemorations as the nation pays tribute to those whose lives were affected by World War I and remembers those who died.
Kate’s attendance marks another step forward in her recovery after chemotherapy. She made her first public appearance after treatment in September, attending a Sunday service at a church near the family’s royal Balmoral estate in Scotland.
King Charles, who is still receiving cancer treatment, has also returned to public duties since his diagnosis in February. He completed his first major foreign trip in October, which included a six-day tour of Australia alongside Camilla.
The King will lay a wreath of poppies at the base of the Cenotaph during Sunday’s event.
