On Monday, the Princess of Wales made her first official joint appearance of the year and her first royal engagement since announcing her remission from cancer.
Prince William and Kate Middleton attended a London ceremony commemorating Holocaust Memorial Day and marking the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi death camp. The Princess of Wales, known for her elegant style, chose a black coat dress and a subtle pearl necklace, an accessory often linked to mourning since Queen Victoria's tradition of wearing pearls after Prince Albert's death in 1861. Prince William complemented his wife in a black suit with a deep purple tie. During the service held at Guildhall, the Prince and Princess of Wales participated in a solemn candle-lighting ceremony and had the opportunity to greet Holocaust survivors. Among those they met were Steven Frank, whom Middleton encountered four years ago during the 'Generations: Portrait of Holocaust Survivors' project, and Yvonne Bernstein, whom she also met in 2020. According to reports, Middleton warmly greeted Bernstein, stating, 'It's such a treat for me to see an old friend.' While conversing with Middleton, survivor Robert George Berkowitz expressed admiration for the princess, telling her that her husband 'is the luckiest man in the world to have you.'The event marked a significant milestone for the Princess of Wales as she continues her journey toward recovery. In a recent statement, she acknowledged the emotional challenges of a cancer diagnosis, saying, 'As anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal. I am however looking forward to a fulfilling year ahead. There is much to look forward to. Thank you to everyone for your continued support.' The couple's presence at the Holocaust Memorial Day ceremony served as a poignant reminder of the horrors of the past and the importance of remembrance.
