Queen Elizabeth II reigned as the monarch of the United Kingdom for an unparalleled seven decades. Revered globally, she embodied the essence of the nation and stands as its longest-serving sovereign.
Her passing on September 8, 2022, at the age of 96, resonated deeply, prompting profound grief both domestically and internationally. The UK observed ten days of national mourning, and her state funeral was witnessed by millions.
As we approach the first anniversary of her death, her legacy continues to be celebrated and remembered.
A royal spokesperson has confirmed that there won't be any official public ceremony to commemorate the first anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's passing.
There are also no plans for a private family gathering on the anniversary of the late Queen's passing.
The family is anticipated to honour the late queen in private ceremonies and remembrances. However, it’s reported that Prince William and Kate Middleton will share a message with the British public in tribute to the Queen's legacy. However, it remains uncertain whether this will be conveyed in person, televised, or disseminated through social media.
It's believed that King Charles III will observe the anniversary of his mother's passing in a 'quiet and private' manner at Balmoral in Scotland, the place where she departed.
After the anniversary, it's said that Charles and Camilla plan to undertake their rescheduled state visit to France. Originally scheduled for March, this visit was deferred because of extensive protests in France concerning retirement age reforms. Reports also suggest that the King and Queen are considering a trip to Kenya in autumn, which would be Charles' first significant journey to a Commonwealth nation since his ascension to the throne.
Prince Harry will be in the UK this week, without wife Megan, for the WellChild awards. We believe he has any plans to meet the King or the Prince of Wales during this visit. He will then travel to Düsseldorf in Germany for the Invictus Games.
