Kensington Palace releases Kate Middleton, Prince William’s heartfelt statement

On March 10, 2025, Kensington Palace released a heartfelt statement from the Prince and Princess of Wales, Prince William and Kate Middleton, in celebration of Commonwealth Day. The statement emphasized the shared values, diversity, and unity of the 56 nations comprising the Commonwealth. This year’s theme, “Together We Thrive,” highlights the strength derived from fostering connected communities and empowering one another to build a better future.

The statement was accompanied by photographs of the royal couple attending the Commonwealth Day Service of Celebration at Westminster Abbey in London.

Her return to such a significant event underscores her resilience and dedication to her royal duties.

The Commonwealth Day Service also saw the participation of other senior royals, including King Charles III and Queen Camilla. The event celebrated the enduring spirit of the Commonwealth family, aligning with the theme of unity and collective growth.

The public’s response to the statement and the accompanying photographs has been overwhelmingly positive. Royal fans expressed their admiration for the couple’s commitment to their roles and the causes they support. One commenter noted, “It was wonderful to see you two out and about together again,” while another remarked, “So lovely to see you together. Princess Catherine looks stunning in red.

Prince William and Princess Kate’s active engagement in such events reflects their dedication to the values of the Commonwealth and their roles within the royal family. Their participation in the Commonwealth Day Service serves as a testament to their commitment to fostering unity and celebrating the diverse cultures and communities that make up the Commonwealth.
