Kensington Palace has released a new video of Prince William and Kate Middleton to commemorate Armed Forces Day on Saturday. 

The poignant video highlights the couple’s work over the past year, including snippets of both the Prince and Princess of Wales. 

It shows William meeting and speaking with veterans to mark the D-Day 80th anniversary earlier this month, and finishes with a shot of the iconic Red Arrows.

Though none of the clips are new – as the princess is maintaining her recovery from cancer treatment away from the public eye – royal fans have hailed it as a ‘beautiful tribute’. 

The 40-second video was posted on Kensington Palace’s official social media accounts alongside the caption: ‘On ArmedForcesDay we thank all those serving in our military,

 in the UK and around the world, and the loved ones who support them in everything they do for our country.’ 

One clip shows William donning camouflage military gear in November as he visited The Mercian Regiment after being appointed Colonel-In-Chief by King Charles. 

The Prince of Wales was appointed Colonel-in-Chief of the Mercian Regiment by the King last August, which provides the fighting element of the British Armed Forces. 

Meanwhile a clip of the Princess of Wales showed her visiting the Royal Navy Air Station in Yeovilton in September last year. 

Footage showed the princess concentrating on the landing strip outside while wearing a headset, and laughing while engaging with members of the crew.

She also heard the roar of an F-35B Lightning from RAF Marham as it ‘buzzed’ the control tower.

Armed Forces Day is intended to be an annual celebration of personnel, service families, veterans and cadets in the Armed Forces community.

It also marks the culmination of a week of celebrations, which began on Monday, when the public show their support and appreciation for the Armed Forces.

Other gestures taken by the royals to mark Armed Forces Day included a new photo of the King being released, while Queen Camilla thanked the military for how they ‘support and strengthen our nation’.

In addition to highlighting the work of Prince William and Kate Middleton, the new video released by Kensington Palace also showcases the importance of Armed Forces Day. The couple’s dedication to supporting the military community is evident in the footage, which includes clips of both the Prince and Princess of Wales engaging with veterans and service members.

One poignant moment in the video shows Prince William meeting with veterans to commemorate the D-Day 80th anniversary. This event holds special significance as it honors the brave individuals who fought for our freedom. The inclusion of the Red Arrows in the video serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by those who serve in the armed forces.

While Princess Kate continues her recovery from cancer treatment out of the public eye, the release of this video has been praised as a beautiful tribute by royal fans. The message accompanying the video from Kensington Palace expresses gratitude to all those serving in the military, as well as their loved ones who support them.

As part of their ongoing commitment to the armed forces, Prince William and Princess Kate have made significant contributions to various regiments and military units. For example, Prince William was appointed Colonel-In-Chief of The Mercian Regiment by King Charles, showcasing his dedication to supporting and honoring service members.

The video also features Princess Kate’s visit to the Royal Navy Air Station in Yeovilton, where she engaged with members of the crew and witnessed the impressive capabilities of the RAF Marham’s F-35B Lightning. Her genuine interest in the military and her interactions with service members highlight the importance of Armed Forces Day in recognizing and honoring their sacrifices.

Armed Forces Day serves as a reminder to the public to show their support and appreciation for personnel, service families, veterans, and cadets in the military community. The week-long celebration culminates in a day dedicated to honoring and recognizing the contributions of those who serve our country.

By releasing new photos and messages of gratitude, the royal family continues to demonstrate their unwavering support for the armed forces. Queen Camilla’s acknowledgement of the military’s role in supporting and strengthening the nation further emphasizes the importance of recognizing and honoring service members.
