Princess Kate and Prince William Share Unexpected Message About "Courage" and "Sacrifice" During Their Summer Break
"We will always be grateful."
Princess Kate and Prince William are currently on a summer break from their official duties as senior members of the Royal Family. As a result, the Prince and Princess of Wales didn't attend the ceremony in honor of the 80th anniversary of VJ Day alongside Queen Camilla—who was seen crying—and King Charles. Instead, they shared a special message on social media highlighting the significance of the event.
As their 3 children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—are on vacation from school, it's likely that the family is spending some quality time together. Princess Kate and Prince William shared a tribute on their Instagram Stories on August 15, saying, "Today, on the 80th anniversary of VJ Day, we remember the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of all who served."
The message continued, "Today we especially think of those British and Commonwealth troops who fought in the Asia-Pacific. We owe an enduring debt to the generation who gave so much, and to whom we will always be grateful. Lest we forget. W & C."
