Prince William and Princess Kate have officially broken their silence after attending the prestigious Commonwealth Day service alongside King Charles and senior members of the royal family.
The future king and queen joined King Charles, Queen Camilla, Princess Anne, Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester, and Birgitte, Duchess of Gloucester, for the annual event at Westminster Abbey on March 10. This marked a significant moment for Kate, as it was her first time attending the service in two years.
Shortly after the ceremony, William and Kate took to Instagram to share their thoughts, posting a series of stunning photos from the event. “Today is Commonwealth Day! A day to celebrate the shared values, diversity, and unity of the 56 nations that make up the Commonwealth,” they wrote, emphasizing the global significance of the occasion.
The Prince and Princess of Wales further highlighted the theme of this year’s celebration, ‘Together We Thrive,’ stating, “This year’s theme is a reminder of the power of fostering strong, connected communities and empowering one another to build a better future.”
Their words reflected King Charles’ own heartfelt message during the service, in which he stressed the importance of unity, resilience, and cooperation among Commonwealth nations. The event carried added significance, as it was the first major public gathering of the royal family since Kate Middleton’s health-related absence from previous engagements.
One of the most touching moments of the day came when King Charles greeted Prince William with a warm kiss on the cheek, showcasing their close bond amid recent speculation about shifting dynamics within the royal household.
