King Charles and Queen Camilla Mark Remembrance Day on Social Media
On November 5, King Charles III and Queen Camilla updated their official social media profiles on Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), and Facebook to honor Remembrance Day.
Remembrance Day, observed on November 11, is the U.K.’s equivalent of the U.S. Veterans Day. It pays tribute to the courageous men and women who have served in the British Armed Forces.
Royal Family’s Digital Tribute Tradition
Each year, King Charles leads the nation at the Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph in London, attended by other Royal Family members. To respectfully mark this occasion, the King’s team changes his and Queen Camilla’s profile pictures and cover photos in early November, a longstanding digital tradition in the royal household.
The updated Remembrance images usually remain on their social media accounts for about a week.
