Prince George, 12, Joins Mom Kate Middleton in Surprise First Appearance at Festival of Remembrance

The Princess of Wales, 43, joined King Charles, Queen Camilla and other members of the royal family on Saturday, Nov. 8, at the Royal British Legion’s annual Festival of Remembrance at Royal Albert Hall in London.
George, 12, made his first appearance at the festival. In another first, he previously joined his parents at the Buckingham Palace tea party King Charles and Queen Camilla hosted for veterans and members of the World War II generation on May 5.

Understands that the Prince of Wales is traveling home on a commercial flight from Belém — where flight options are limited — and will return in time for Remembrance Sunday at the Cenotaph on Nov. 9.

Saturday’s annual event honoring fallen soldiers from the U.K. and the Commonwealth is a staple on the royal calendar. The Princess of Wales even made a rare outing at the event last year despite spending most of 2024 out of the public eye as she received cancer treatment. She announced she was in remission in January.
