King Charles assigns major historic role to Kate Middleton

Kate Middleton has made history as King Charles assigned the Princess of Wales a major role to mark Anzac Day.

Kate stepped out on behalf of King Charles to honour Australian and New Zealand service personnel at the London’s annual Anzac Day commemorations.

For the first time as a working royal, Kate attended the Wreath Laying Ceremony and Parade at the Cenotaph, where she wore a poppy and laid a wreath on behalf of the King.

The service was organised by the New Zealand and Australian High Commissions.

Hundreds of people watched the ceremony.

“In memory of the Australian and New Zealand soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom”, reads the note signed by Prince William and Kate Middleton on the top of the ring of poppies with white flowers.

Later, Kensington Palace shared a video of Kate saying, “From Gallipoli to the present day. Honouring all Australians and New Zealanders who have given so much in service on ANZAC Day. Lest we forget.”

Following the ceremony at Cenotaph, Kate joined worshippers at Westminster Abbey for a Service of Commemoration and Thanksgiving.

Westminster Abbey shares the video saying “HRH The Princess of Wales arrives at Westminster Abbey for our annual #ANZACDay commemoration.

“The service marks the anniversary of the 1915 Gallipoli landings and remembers all Australians and New Zealanders who have served their countries.”
