Prince George has joined the Princess of Wales, King Charles and Queen Camilla at the Festival of Remembrance at Royal Albert Hall in London, marking the beginning of a gradual introduction to more national ceremonies for the young royal.
Princess Catherine made her first appearance since former prince Andrew was stripped of his titles at the annual festival held by the British Legion.

She was accompanied by her eldest son, instead of her husband Prince William, who was travelling back from COP30, the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Brazil.
The festival commemorated the end of World War II and had a special emphasis on “the resilience and strength of military children who have faced bereavement”.

Prince George is second in line to the British throne behind his father.
The Prince’s appearances were infrequent during his younger years but George has attended several public engagements with his parents this year.
In May, he attended his first royal tea party at Buckingham Palace.
He also sat in the royal box with his younger sister Charlotte at this year’s Wimbledon Men’s Finals.

His father, Prince William, told Eugene Levy’s The Reluctant Traveller show in September there were “lots of things to think about” when considering his son’s future as King and a potential working royal.
“I want to create a world in which my son is proud of what we do, a world and a job that actually does impact people’s lives for the better.”
Meanwhile, Anne, the Princess Royal, is on a brief tour of Australia, marking Remembrance Day today in Sydney.
There has been little detail released of the senior working royal’s trip but she is expected to lay wreaths and visit several Australian capital cities.
