King Charles leads largest royal gathering since Prince Andrew arrest at Commonwealth service
Senior royals attended Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey amid discussions about Prince Andrew's future role in the monarchy.
King Charles led the largest gathering of senior royals since Prince Andrew's arrest at the annual Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey on Monday afternoon.
The 77-year-old monarch was joined by Queen Camilla, Prince William, Princess Kate, and Princess Anne for the service marking Commonwealth Day celebrations with leaders from the 56 member countries in attendance.
Princess Kate wore a navy Catherine Walker dress coat and a five-strand pearl necklace that previously belonged to Queen Elizabeth II for the Westminster Abbey service.
The gathering took place as discussions reportedly continue regarding Prince Andrew's position within the royal family, including potential changes to his place in the line of succession. The future roles of his daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, also remain under consideration.
Anti-monarchist protesters staged a demonstration outside Westminster Abbey during the Commonwealth Day service, though the event proceeded as scheduled with the traditional ceremony honoring the Commonwealth nations.
