King Charles, Kate Middleton return to Commonwealth Day Service

King Charles III and Kate Middleton were all smiles and in good spirits as they put on a united front with the royal family at the Commonwealth Day Service, after missing last year's event due to their cancer diagnosis.

King Charles championed the royal family’s dedication to Commonwealth Day as he shared a message of unity.

The 76-year-old - accompanied by his wife Queen Camilla, 77 - called on nations to come together in “uncertain times.”

The monarch was in attendance at the traditional service at Westminster Abbey alongside his son and heir Prince William and Princess Kate. Last year, both Kate and Charles missed the service due to their cancer treatments.

Their Commonwealth Day appearance comes five years after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's final outing as working royals at the same service — a seismic moment in royal history.

Charles’ message for the service reads: “In these uncertain times, where it is all too easy to believe that our differences are problems instead of a source of strength and an opportunity for learning, the Commonwealth’s remarkable collection of nations and peoples come together in the spirit of support and, crucially, friendship.”

The King adds: “The Commonwealth’s ability to bring together people from all over the world has stood the test of time and remains as ever-important today."

The royal family's social media accounts also shared photos and videos of the celebrations with heartfelt messages about their connection to the nations.
