Charles III Discloses Key Points Prior to the Royal Family Gathering
Let's Chat:
Get ready, folks! King Charles is adding some pizzazz to the royal calendar with a major announcement. Buckingham Palace dropped an itinerary for an unforgettable occasion, and the whole royal family is invited, including Prince William and Kate Middleton.
The main event? VE Day 2025, honoring an incredible 80 years since the end of World War II in Europe. The King and Queen are set to unite with other royals to lead the nation in commemorative ceremonies.
Following the opening ceremonies, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester apparently took a trip to celebrate the Liberation of Denmark.
Starting from Monday, the King, Queen, and royal crew, along with the Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, will observe a military procession and flypast, then host a tea party at Buckingham Palace for Second World War veterans.
Queen Camilla, ever the trooper, will check out the Tower of London the next day. Then, she'll hang with the king and the family again to attend a Service of Thanksgiving at Westminster Abbey and a VE Day concert at Horse Guards Parade.
The festivities wrap up on Saturday, with Princess Anne's husband, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Liberation of Guernsey and Sark in the Channel Islands.
The announcement arrives following Prince Harry's dramatic BBC outburst about security concerns. The Palace insider shared that the monarch is "excited" about the celebrations, hoping nothing will detract from VE Day's cheer after Harry's security saga.
Last year, Prince Harry spoke up on Veterans Day, and there's a chance he might do the same for VE Day this year. Although, this could potentially reignite the royal rift. Stick around for more deets as they unfold!
