In a bid to reach out to people amid the coronavirus pandemic, Kate Middleton Prince William has used their Instagram to shine a spotlight on note-worthy photos of themes of remembrance, family and resilience. These photographs, in a way, speak of who Kate Middleton Prince William were, of common values and everlasting strength.
A Remembrance Tribute on Social Media
While Remembrance Day has a tradition of being commemorated by the Royal Family in honour of the service and sacrifice of the Armed Forces, veterans and their families, as one would suspect, it still holds a certain amount of significance. In the National Service of Remembrance at the Cenotaph in Whitehall, London, Royal Family Members participate. This means Kate Middleton Prince William have followed this tradition by changing their social media’s profiles to include some pictures of Remembrance, such as an image of the Festival of Remembrance, and a picture of ceramic red poppies.
The Significance of Remembrance
The British monarchy takes Remembrance Day for the solemn tribute to persons who died in war. Armistice Day was originally born from the occurrence of World War I. His Majesty The King leads a two minute silence, as the observance takes place. Remembrance Sunday is regarded by the Royal Family as ‘the focal point of the nation’s homage’ and an act of remembrance for the heroes who have given their service for freedom.
Profile Picture Switch
Kate Middleton Prince William had restored their social media profiles from their standard images since Remembrance Sunday. Their selected profile picture shows the couple joking and locking arms while then filmed in Norfolk. As an image of the couple with their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis disappeared from the cover photo on X, it was swiftly reverted to the original image.
Intimacy and Private Life
In Norfolk, Will Warr recorded the video message and gave the world an unusually intimate view of the lives of Kate Middleton Prince William. The three minute film was revealing as we learn affectionate interactions between the couple and their Children and also in which Kate mentioned her cancer recovery journey through chemotherapy. What stood out however was the transparency of the family in an act very rare for the British Royal Family to do, and in their private space.
The Family Photo
After Remembrance Day commemorations, Kate Middleton Prince William’s X account cover photo was changed to an image of the couple with their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. The imagery illustrates the role of family, and also as with the video released September 9, the children were highlighted. It also happened to be the video which came on the heels of Princess Kate announcing that she had finished chemotherapy.
Carole and Michael Middleton’s Cameo
The video included a touching moment featuring Kate’s parents, Carole and Michael Middleton. The Middletons are known for being a hands on grandparenting couple and very actively involved in their lives which include Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. Outside of his occasional spats with the press, Carole and Kate frequently host sleepover for their grandchildren and Carole has even joined her for school drop offs. In addition, the younger siblings of Kate, Pippa and James, and their families too live nearby. This close family dynamic offers significant support to both Kate Middleton Prince William.
Kate’s Return to Public Engagements
After undergoing chemotherapy, Kate Middleton participated in her first major royal event at the Festival of Remembrance, where she joined Prince William, King Charles, and other Royal Family members. She also attended the annual Remembrance Sunday at the Cenotaph war memorial in London. Her presence at both events was significant due to the royal family’s emphasis on the Remembrance holiday and her return to public responsibilities. These appearances marked a notable reintegration into public life following her cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Royal Family’s Social Media Refresh
While Kate Middleton Prince William shared Remembrance-related images on their social media, King Charles and Queen Camilla posted a message on the Royal Family’s official account to commemorate World Cancer Day.
