Buckingham Palace Releases Emotional Video Honoring Aboriginal Veterans
Buckingham Palace has shared a powerful video showcasing King Charles III’s historic moment in Australia, where he and Queen Camilla became the first royal family members to formally acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Veterans at a new memorial. This significant event occurred amid rising tensions during the King’s tour.
The Royal Family’s social media accounts posted the emotional video alongside a heartfelt statement, which read, "We remember the service and sacrifice of all Australians who have died during war." The Palace highlighted the King and Queen’s moment of reflection at the ‘For our Country’ Memorial, honoring First Nation Australians and their enduring connection to the land they defend.
The video was released shortly after an Australian lawmaker interrupted King Charles's speech in parliament, adding further attention to the royal visit. Despite the incident, the King's decision to honour Indigenous veterans has been hailed as a significant and respectful gesture.
