Friday, September 8 will mark a year on from the death of Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles III’s accession to the throne.
Though many will no doubt be keen to pay their respects, a royal spokesperson has confirmed that there will be no official public event to commemorate the Queen’s passing.
After reigning for longer than any other British monarch, Queen Elizabeth passed at the age of 96 at her residence in Balmoral, Aberdeenshire. Her death prompted mourning across the world and thousands of people lining London’s streets for her state funeral.
It seems that there are no plans for a private gathering of the royal family and instead it is reported that Charles and his wife will spend the day ‘quietly and privately’.
This decision follows in his mother’s footsteps, as Elizabeth would spend the anniversaries of her father’s death in what was termed ‘private reflection’ with no formal events taking place.
