King Charles assigns key role to lesser-seen royals during VE Day tribute
abroad
Buckingham Palace has issued a fresh update confirming the overseas engagement
of rarely seen royals just days after the Duke of Sussex made headlines with
his emotional speech in the UK.
On 7 May, new images were released by the Palace featuring the Duke and
Duchess of Gloucester alongside King Frederik and Queen Mary of Denmark. The
royals were seen commemorating a solemn occasion in Copenhagen to mark the
anniversary of Denmark’s liberation during the Second World War.
A statement posted on the royal family’s official Instagram account revealed
that the Duke and Duchess attended a special service of thanksgiving at
Copenhagen Cathedral, accompanied by members of the Danish Government and
other officials.
Later, the British royals joined the Danish Royal Family at Mindelunden (The
Memorial Park), where they paid tribute to fallen resistance fighters by
laying a wreath at the monument dedicated to those who lost their lives during
the war.
This cross-border appearance came shortly after Prince Harry’s return to
public view at ‘The Knowledge’ event hosted by The Diana Award, where he
delivered a poignant message to young attendees.
The Palace’s timely update highlighted King Charles’ ongoing commitment to
honouring international ties and royal responsibilities through key family
members—even those who are rarely in the spotlight.
