Royal Engagement Follows Duke of Sussex’s Reflections on Family and the Invictus Games
Queen Camilla made a notable appearance with her grandchildren on Wednesday, surprising royal watchers just days after Prince Harry’s heartfelt comments about Meghan Markle and their children, Archie and Lilibet.
The 77-year-old royal, who serves as a patron of the Unicorn Theatre, attended the launch of its new Creative Hub, celebrating the power of storytelling and performance for young audiences.
During the event, she fondly recalled secret theatre outings with her grandchildren while conversing with actor Rory Kinnear and author Malorie Blackman. The engagement took place at Britain’s largest children’s theatre, which welcomes 60,000 families and schools annually.
Her visit followed Prince Harry’s recent remarks from Canada, where he is attending the Invictus Games. Speaking to People, the Duke of Sussex expressed his gratitude for Meghan’s support, saying: “To have my wife here supporting me is amazing. I love that she’s by my side. It’s such an important piece to this whole adventure.”
He also shared that Archie and Lilibet are curious about the international sporting event, adding: “They are fascinated.” He explained how his children ask questions about the competitors, noting: “It’s a very interesting conversation to have with your kids — to explain why that person is missing a leg, why that person is missing an arm, why do they look the way they do. It’s challenging but important.”
The Queen’s engagement at the Unicorn Theatre came just a day after she joined King Charles III for a special reception at Buckingham Palace, reinforcing her ongoing commitment to public service.
