The Prince of Wales steps up for a poignant occasion as the King travels to Poland.
Prince William is set to undertake significant royal duties on behalf of King Charles as he makes his first royal tour of the year.
The King will travel to Poland to attend the 80th anniversary of the Holocaust at Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum and Memorial on Monday, January 27th. He will join global leaders, including heads of state, presidents, and prime ministers, to honour the solemn occasion.
Meanwhile, the Prince of Wales will lead commemorations in London, attending the Guildhall ceremony for Holocaust Memorial Day. William will deliver a moving speech, emphasising the importance of remembrance and the lessons of history.
“As part of an unending commitment to remember those who perished and suffered from the horrors of the past, the Prince of Wales is honoured to take part in such an important commemoration,” a royal insider shared with Express.co.uk.
King Charles has spoken about his decision to attend the ceremony in Poland despite ongoing cancer treatment, explaining, “I feel I must for the 80th anniversary. It’s so important.” He reflected on the dwindling number of Holocaust survivors, noting the urgency of preserving their stories for future generations.
The dual representation by King Charles and Prince William underscores the monarchy’s commitment to honouring the past and supporting global remembrance efforts.
