Prince George attended the Royal British Legion's Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall on Saturday evening, marking his first appearance at the annual ceremony. The 12-year-old joined King Charles, Queen Camilla, and the Princess of Wales for the event honoring Britain's armed forces.
The festival commemorated the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. It also marked 25 years since the UK government lifted the ban on gay, lesbian, and bisexual personnel serving openly in the armed forces.
King Charles, who became patron of the Royal British Legion last year, was welcomed into the auditorium by state trumpeters. The ceremony featured performances by Sir Rod Stewart, Sam Ryder, and Keala Settle, with actress Hannah Waddingham serving as host.
Royal Family in Attendance
The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester joined the senior royals at the ceremony. Prince William was notably absent, having traveled back from Brazil where he attended the Earthshot Prize Awards and COP30 climate summit.
The Princess Royal and Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence were also not present, as they are carrying out a military-focused tour in Australia.
Remembrance Sunday Ahead
King Charles will lead the nation in a two-minute silence at the Cenotaph in central London on Sunday. Approximately 10,000 armed forces veterans will participate in the march-past, including about 20 Second World War veterans.
