Prince George is stepping out with a purpose.
The 12-year-old son of Prince William and Kate Middleton accompanied his mom to the Royal British Legion’s Festival of Remembrance Nov. 8 at Royal Albert Hall in London, marking his first appearance at the annual ceremony.
For the occasion, the Princess of Wales, 43, wore an understated black dress featuring long sleeves and a white lace collar, while George was dressed in a dark suit and matching tie with white stripes. They each wore a red poppy on their garments as a symbol of respect for members of the military who died while in combat.

Also in attendance at the event—which this year marked the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II—were King Charles III and Queen Camilla, who sat next to the mother-son duo during the service. They were also joined by Charles’ brother Prince Edward, who was seated nearby with his wife Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh.
George has gradually become more involved in royal undertakings as he prepares for his eventual ascent to the throne. In the meantime, his dad—Britain’s current heir apparent—is doing his best to make the monarchy something the preteen is eager to be part of.

“There are lots of things to think about with that,” William, 43, told Eugene Levy during an episode of The Reluctant Traveler released in October. “But obviously, 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.”
The Prince of Wales—who is also dad to Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7, with Kate—also noted his desire to shield his kids from some of the pitfalls he and his brother Prince Harry endured in their youth.
“That is caveated with, I hope we don’t go back to some of the practices in the past, that Harry and I had to grow up in,” he went on, “and I’ll do everything I can to make sure we don’t regress in that situation.”

Prince Andrew to Stop Using Duke of York Title
King Charles III‘s youngest brother Prince Andrew confirmed October 17 that he will no longer be using his title Duke of York, due the the continued controversy over his friendship with late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
“In discussion with The King, and my immediate and wider family, we have concluded the continued accusations about me distract from the work of His Majesty and the Royal Family,” Andrew said in the statement released by Buckingham Palace. “I have decided, as I always have, to put my duty to my family and country first. I stand by my decision five years ago to stand back from public life.”
Andrew continued, “With His Majesty’s agreement, we feel I must now go a step further. I will therefore no longer use my title or the honours which have been conferred upon me. As I have said previously, I vigorously deny the accusations against me.”

Sarah Ferguson Dropped From Charity for Epstein Email
In September 2025, the Duchess of York was dropped as a patron to Julia’s House for a resurfaced 2011 email to Jeffrey Epstein in which she called him a friend.
