Royal Family in Unison
According to US magazine "+ People", William and Kate joined King Charles and Queen Camilla in the royal box. Among the privileged guests of honor were six war veterans and Londoners who had been evacuated from the city during the war.
During his speech, King Charles highlighted the historic significance of his grandfather, King George VI, who announced 80 years ago that "the terrible shadow of war has passed from our hearths and homes." He emphasized, "His words resonate through history as we gather today to celebrate and remember, in unshakable and heartfelt gratitude, the service and sacrifice of the wartime generation that made this hard-fought victory possible."
Charles reminisced about the famous story of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, who, at 19, celebrated anonymously in the crowd as the people celebrated together in central London. He went on to describe how she "walked miles" with the people, and the celebrations continued the following day, as she noted in her diary, "'Back in the crowd. Embankment, Piccadilly. It rained, so fewer people. Conga danced into the house. Sang till two in the morning. In bed by three!'"
