Is the reason for the indoor ceremony because of the rainy weather? I can understand not wanting the Queen and Prince Philip standing out in the rain at their age. (I suspect they had some health scares in the recent past from just that, being exposed in inclement weather).
I like the feel of the indoor ceremony, though I suppose far fewer of the public (or none really) can see such. Catherine and William look at ease with each other and their roles. Good to see.
I have no clue. They might be. But a flight to London from Netherlands is a really short pop-over so they might just take the flight in the morning.I hoped to see King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima in the Royal Albert Hall as well. Most likely they are in London now for tomorrow's Remembrance Service. I would have loved it to see them in the royal loge, interacting with their British cousins.
I think the Dutch guests are already in London, maybe staying in the Royal Netherlands Embassy (at Hyde Park) or with their sister-in-law Princess Mabel (in Kensington).
I agree. Very sweet!In lokoing at the Getty images, I really like how well the Queen and Prince William seem to get along. It's a thing of beauty.
The Festival of Remembrance has always been an indoor event at The Royal Albert Hall as opposed to the Remembrance Service at the Cenotaph ( outdoors) which is where the wreaths are laid. The two are very different events.
William has been wearing glasses for a while. When driving, flying, watching sports etc.Thank you, Elly C. I'm feeling very uninformed these days. Not one to follow these things closely.
Just want to say, I think Catherine is looking particularly radiant these days. Motherhood is definitely agreeing with her. Love her outfit, her heft of hair and polished make-up. Very nice all round.
Interesting that William wears specs. Follows the Queen in that way.

So did Andrew and the Duchess of Gloucester.
For a brief second, when I had only seen the group shot at a distance, I thought the person next to Andrew was Eugenie.,
Understandable as I has started on page 1 with the pictures of a very young Princess Beatrice attending.
^Since when?

It is interesting that the Queen never shows that kind of warmth to the Prince of Wales (and vice-versa).
Remembrance Sunday: The Cenotaph- BBC One 10:25 am UK Time:
"David Dimbleby presents live coverage from the Cenotaph in Whitehall, where Her Majesty the Queen will lead the nation's Remembrance Sunday commemorations. The prime minister, leading politicians, representatives of many of the world's religions, dignitaries from around the Commonwealth and military leaders join thousands of veterans from countless conflicts for the Two Minute Silence at 11.00, the service and march past. All gather to remember those men and women who have died serving their country. Sophie Raworth will meet veterans and those taking part in the march past to hear their remarkable stories-"

Any confirmation yet if Queen Maxima will be able to attend with King Willem-Alexander ?
She has done it several times. I've seen a whole bunch of images / clips of The Queen and Charles, where they speak and smile at each other.

The Channel Islands was occupied by the Germans while most of the children and many adults fled to UK, concentration camps were built, Jews deported to Auschwitz etc... While not officially part of the United Kingdom as Crown dependencies they could still arguably be considered British.
