Royal family prepares for Queen Elizabeth’s anniversary
As the one year anniversary of Queen Elizabeth’s death approaches, the royal family are busy preparing for the emotional event.
The Prince and Princess of Wales are expected to lead the tributes for the late monarch, while King Charles and Camilla are expected to commemorate the day privately at Balmoral Castle.
According to reports from The Mirror, Prince William and Kate Middleton will deliver a message to the public honouring the life and legacy of Her Majesty on September 8th, using the occasion to "look forward".
Plans are still underway as to whether the address will be made in person or via social media.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will "pay their respects to Her Majesty in their own way", with no reports yet if they will stay in California or return to London for the anniversary.
A source told the publication, "Her Majesty's passing was an event that truly signified the end of an era.”
"The royal family has been in transition since then and following the coronation and conclusion of the summer holidays, there will be an expectation to see what is next."
Reports have previously stated that King Charles will be at Balmoral Castle, in the Scottish Highlands, on the day and will spend the anniversary "quietly and privately” with Queen Camilla.
His Majesty will be following his late mother's example, who always commemorated the death of her father King George V in private.
Members of the royal family could still attend public engagements around the late Queen's anniversary, however there are "no plans" for any public event or private family gathering attended by all of them.
