Princess Charlotte ‘expected to make’ big sacrifice for dad Prince William

Princess Charlotte ‘expected to make’ big sacrifice for dad Prince William

"Princess Charlotte may have to make a great sacrifice for her father, Prince William, once he will take on his destined role."

"The nine-year-old daughter of William and Kate Middleton has already earned a reputation of being well-versed with royal protocols, may have to give up title, which has been a defining part of her identity, once her father becomes king."

"According to certain royal customs that surround the ascension, Charlotte’s future is set to change “dramatically”, per celebrity broadcaster OSSA. They told Express UK that Chalotte would have to be awarded an honorary title, otherwise when her father succeeds, otherwise she will she will be known as “Charlotte of nothing”.

"However, Charlotte could be the next Princess Anne who was given the title ‘Princess Royal’ but even that has a set condition. Charlotte can get the title if William is King but also if Princess Anne is no longer alive and that is how she will inherit the title. It remains to be seen how things pan out for Charlotte when the time comes."

Nation falls silent as King leads Remembrance ceremony​

"King Charles has led the nation in two minutes of silence in remembrance of men and women who lost their lives serving in the two world wars or other conflicts."

"Tens of thousands of veterans and civilians joined the King in paying their respects to the fallen at the annual National Service of Remembrance ceremony at the Cenotaph in central London."

"The King was joined by other members of the Royal Family, including the Prince and Princess of Wales, and political leaders."

Former prime ministers are traditionally invited to the ceremony and this is the first time there have been eight in attendance, lined up in order of their service

See King Charles and Queen Camilla’s Christmas card​

"Buckingham Palace has revealed the official 2024 Christmas card for King Charles and his wife, Queen Camilla."

"On Saturday, the palace released the image selected for the festive greetings card, which was taken earlier this year by Millie Pilkington. Pilkington, one of the United Kingdom’s most respected portrait photographers, has taken numerous snaps of the family over the years."

The message inside the card reads: “Wishing you a very Happy Christmas and New Year.”

"It’s a more casual option than last year’s photograph taken in the Throne Room at Buckingham Palace following the King’s coronation."

"King Charles will travel to Auschwitz later this month to attend an event marking the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi concentration camp, Buckingham Palace has confirmed. The commemoration in Poland on 27 January will be the King's first overseas trip this year."

"On Monday afternoon, the King hosted an event at Buckingham Palace for education projects teaching about the Holocaust, which was inflicted on Jewish people by the Nazis."

"He met Holocaust survivor Manfred Goldberg, aged 94, who has recorded his experiences of concentration camps for interactive lessons for schools. Mr Goldberg praised the King's efforts to "ensure that the Holocaust is never forgotten - as an antidote against it ever possibly happening again".

King Charles met Holocaust survivor Manfred Goldberg and his wife Shary
"However, he spoke of his concerns about how young people could be adversely influenced by social media and that it seemed "wishful thinking" to imagine that antisemitism had been consigned to the past."

"The events that King Charles will attend in Poland will mark the anniversary of the liberation of the camp by the Soviet army in January 1945."

"According to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum, the commemoration will begin in a tent erected over the gate to the camp. A symbolic freight carriage will stand in front of the gate to remember the many victims who had arrived there in cattle cars."

"King Charles III is celebrating his Scottish roots in a new photo released by Buckingham Palace on Saturday, January 24."

"The monarch, 76, can be seen wearing a kilt made from the King Charles III tartan in the picture, which was taken in the library at Balmoral Castle, the royal family’s holiday home in Scotland."

"It was snapped in the fall of last year, according to a press release issued by the palace to Us Weekly. The image was later shared on the palace's Instagram account."

Crathie Kirk Church Is the church they always attend every Sunday when in residence at Balmoral, as did the Queen.
