Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis were set to make a grand appearance at the prestigious King’s Commonwealth Day event.
However, their absence was felt as their mother, Princess Catherine, and Grandpa Charles had to miss out on this annual affair.
The monarch, undergoing cancer treatment, couldn’t attend the key fixture in the royal calendar.
To ensure his presence was felt, Charles recorded a special message at Windsor Castle, to be broadcast worldwide during the event.
This year, Prince William and Camilla took the lead at Westminster Abbey for the much-anticipated Commonwealth Day service held on Monday.
Despite the excitement surrounding this important engagement, many were left disappointed by the absence of the three Wales children.
Known for stealing hearts with their adorable antics, such as Louis’ enthusiastic expressions at previous royal celebrations, the young royals have become favorites among royal watchers.
The prince and princess of Wales have been gradually introducing their children to royal duties, hinting at their future roles within the monarchy.
While their absence at the Commonwealth Day service raised eyebrows, it is speculated that school commitments may have been the reason behind it.
With reports suggesting hefty annual school fees, it’s understandable that William and Catherine would prioritize their children’s education over royal engagements.
Royal enthusiasts need not fret, as the young royals are likely to make a public appearance soon.
With Easter approaching, it is anticipated that they will attend the traditional Easter morning church service at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle.
Similar to the Christmas Day service, the royal family is warmly received by crowds as they make their way to the chapel, engaging with well-wishers along the route.
Prince George and Princess Charlotte have received praise for their exemplary behavior at recent royal events.
At the Monarch State Funeral, attendees, including Canadian Order member Mark Tewksbury, admired the young royals’ conduct.
Tewksbury noted their impeccable behavior and expressed admiration for how they handled the solemn occasion.
Meanwhile, Prince Louis, the youngest of the siblings, has also garnered attention for his charming demeanor.
Dubbed a “well-behaved professional nanny” after his delightful antics at the Queen’s Jubilee weekend, Louis impressed onlookers with his composure.
Parenting expert Jo Frost commended Louis’s behavior, highlighting his ability to maintain decorum despite his young age.
Frost emphasized the young prince’s character, describing him as possessing a great sense of humor and a sensitive soul.
She acknowledged the challenges faced by children in such settings and praised Louis for his resilience and adaptability.
