The King and Queen have arrived at a private church service to commemorate the one-year anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s passing. Charles and Camilla, currently residing at the Balmoral estate in Aberdeenshire, are attending the event at Crathie Kirk, the church where the late Queen used to worship. They are accompanied by the King’s cousins, Lady Sarah Chatto and the 2nd Earl of Snowdon. The earl is joined by his daughter, Lady Margarita Armstrong-Jones, while Lady Sarah is accompanied by her husband, Daniel, and their children, Samuel and Arthur.
This occasion holds great personal significance for the King, as he took the throne after his mother’s peaceful passing at Balmoral on September 8th last year, at the age of 96, following a reign of 70 years. Buckingham Palace recently released a heartfelt message from the monarch, expressing gratitude for the love and support received by him and his wife during this challenging year as they strive to serve their subjects.
