Princess Catherine will step out alongside Princess Anne to mark Anzac Day on Saturday, April 25. Earlier this week, Buckingham Palace confirmed that the pair will join forces to attend services commemorating the Australian and New Zealand holiday.

Princess Anne will begin the day by attending an early morning service at the Wellington Arch in Hyde Park Corner. Princess Catherine, on the other hand, will attend a wreath-laying ceremony and a parade at the Cenotaph war memorial later that day.

The future Queen will then attend the Service of Commemoration and Thanksgiving at Westminster Abbey.

 

Catherine, 44, is expected to lay a wreath at the Cenotaph on behalf of King Charles.

The service at Westminster Abbey will include readings from the New Zealand and Australian High Commissioners.

Prayers read by children from each country and a performance of a Māori waiata (song) will also be included.

As Australia and New Zealand are both members of the Commonwealth, members of the British Royal Family regularly attend Anzac Day services.
