From the tears of Carlos III to the nervousness of a stretcher: the other side of Remembrance Day

Last weekend, one of the most important dates for the British royal family was celebrated: Remembrance Day. Law presided over by King Carlos III for the first time in history, since last September, he has become the King of England after the death of Queen Elizabeth II, which specifically took place on September 8 in the Balmoral Castle.

It was without a doubt a day full of emotion which, how could it be otherwise, showed on the faces of the Crown members. In fact, Carlos III couldn’t help but be moved and ended up shedding the occasional tear and, unsurprisingly, as memories probably flooded him on a very important date when the late Isabel II could have been, despite her fragile condition. . Remembrance Day began with two minutes of silence in the United Kingdom. Eleven bells rang on Big Ben to mark this significant gesture.

Then it was time for the traditional flower offering tribute to the deceased, with which the monarch wanted to remember not only his mother, but also his grandfather, George VI. The service also marked the 40th anniversary of the Falklands War. The finishing touch was put with the rendition of Good Save The King. By placing the corresponding flower crown, the king he had to regain his composure. A last minute change in this new era with the late Queen Elizabeth’s son did not go unnoticed either, as the offering has been changed to one consisting of poppies on black leaves, with a ribbon featuring the King’s career colours, the scarlet, purple and gold. An ornament in the name of Camilla, Queen Consort has also been added for the first time. Title running at the express wish of Isabel II, who issued a statement last February announcing this proposal that could be implemented. A surprise to all citizens, as this would not be the case at first.

While this was happening, Camilla Parker and the Princess of Wales were watching the act from one of the balconies of the Foreign Office building. Both women, with tears in their eyes and also very emotional, experienced a very emotional moment. The consort also wanted to pay her special tribute to Elizabeth II, as she added to her austere attire the same black hat she wore to her funeral. The wife of Prince William and heiress to the British throne, for her part, wore earrings that belonged to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana. Of course, the Princess of Wales’ three-poppy brooch, a tribute to lost relatives, didn’t go unnoticed either, as Kate’s great-grandmother had three brothers who died in the First World War.

Patroness of the Royal British Legion and longest serving Commander in Chief of the British Armed Forces, Elizabeth II, this day was special to say the least and not missed for the world. Through their social networks, the British Royal Family wanted to pay a small tribute with a special writing: “In 1945, the then Princess Elizabeth became the first woman in the Royal Family to serve as a full-time active member of the armed forces when she joined the Auxiliary Territorial Service.

Queen Elizabeth was not only the head of the armed forces, but also the wife, mother and grandmother of people who served in the armed forces. On the other hand, the absence of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who have been living in the United States for more than two years, was notable.
