King Charles III and Queen Camilla updated their official social media profiles on November 5 to commemorate Remembrance Day. Their Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), and Facebook accounts now feature new photos reflecting the solemn spirit of the occasion.
Remembrance Day, observed on November 11, is the U.K.’s equivalent of Veterans Day in the U.S. It honors the courageous men and women who served in the British Armed Forces. Each year, King Charles leads the nation in the Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph in London, an event also attended by other Royal Family members.
To set a respectful tone ahead of the ceremony, King Charles’s team traditionally updates his and Queen Camilla’s profile and cover photos in early November. These changes have become a yearly digital tribute, with the special Remembrance images staying up for about a week.
Prince William and Kate Middleton usually update their social media profiles with similar Remembrance Day tributes around this time, but they have not yet made changes this year.
“Lest we forget”
