It’s been only a few days left to mark the one year of Queen Elizabeth II’s death. The longest-reigning monarch of the United Kingdom died on September 8 last year, at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, just a bit over a year after the death of her husband, Prince Philip. The funeral of Elizabeth turned into an international TV occasion watched by millions of viewers, as did the day her son Charles became King.
But as we know there is no scheduled event by the Royals to mark the death anniversary of the Late Queen.
King Charles won’t make any public appearance, and there won’t be a Royal family gathering on the first death anniversary of Elizabeth, a royal family spokesperson has confirmed. Instead, the UK’s majesty and his wife, Queen Camilla, will spend the day in person at Balmoral Castle, where Queen Elizabeth took her last breath and Charles regularly vacations during the summertime.
Richard Fitzwilliams, the Buckingham Palace insider explained that there is no proper protocol for what the royals should or should not do to mark significant death anniversaries; it’s all up to them.
The royal insider thinks it’s “very doubtful that we will hear from King Charles on that day at all,” but he wouldn’t be too shocked to see Charles’s son Prince William, and his wife, Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, make a short public appearance to mark the death anniversary of Queen Elizabeth.
The statement of the palace that there won’t be an official family occurrence put a stop to assumptions as to whether or not Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, would be invited to a more public affair.
The last thing the royal family requires on that very important day is more headlines assuming about dramas within the Royals, Fitzwilliams added.
