King Charles III and Queen Camilla Mark Remembrance Day
On November 5, King Charles III and Queen Camilla updated their official social media profiles on Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), and Facebook to honor Remembrance Day. This change is a longstanding digital tradition observed by the royal household each November.
The Significance of Remembrance Day
Remembrance Day, observed on November 11, is the U.K.’s equivalent of the U.S. Veterans Day. It honors the courageous men and women who served in the Armed Forces across the United Kingdom. Each year, King Charles leads the national service at the Cenotaph in London, a significant ceremony attended by other members of the Royal Family.
Social Media Update Details
- The profile pictures were changed to a photo of King Charles and Queen Camilla attending a Remembrance Day service at the National War Memorial in Ottawa, Canada, from 2009.
- The cover photos on X and Facebook display a close-up of red poppies, the emblem of remembrance, alongside the phrase
“Lest we forget”
and the Royal Coat of Arms.
Royal Family Tradition
To set a respectful tone ahead of the ceremony, the King’s team refreshes these profile pictures and cover images in early November every year. These special Remembrance images typically remain on the accounts for about a week.
Although Prince William and Kate Middleton often make similar social media changes for Remembrance Day, they have not updated their accounts yet this year.
“Lest we forget”
Author's summary: King Charles III and Queen Camilla uphold a meaningful tradition by updating their social media profiles annually for Remembrance Day, honoring those who served.
