Members of the royal family marked the third anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II ’s death on Monday, with Prince William and Prince Harry paying their respects separately despite being only miles apart.
Queen Elizabeth, Britain’s longest-serving monarch, died aged 96 on September 8, 2022, at Balmoral Castle in Scotland after a reign of 70 years.
To honour her memory, Prince William and his wife Kate visited a local Women’s Institute branch near their home in Windsor. The late queen had been a member of the WI for 80 years and served as president of the Sandringham branch until her death, according to Reuters.
Prince Harry, who arrived from California, visited St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, where he laid flowers at the queen’s resting place beside her husband, Prince Philip. Although Windsor is less than 10 miles from where William and Kate were, Harry was not expected to meet his brother during this visit. Reports suggest he could see his father, King Charles , for the first time in nearly two years.
King Charles and Queen Camilla are currently at Balmoral, where they attended a church service at Crathie Kirk on Sunday. The service included prayers for Accession Day and for the Duchess of Kent, who passed away last week. The king has no public events planned to mark the anniversary.
The royal family’s official X account shared a photograph of Queen Elizabeth with the message, “Remembering Queen Elizabeth II, 1926-2022.”
