Prince Andrew’s wife, Duchess Sophie, represented King Charles during the annual dawn service of Anzac Day in London.
The Duchess of Edinburgh spotted somber as she attended the commemorating ceremony on Friday, April 25, at the Australian War Memorial at Hyde Park Corner, marking Anzac Day.
During the appearance, Sophie was dressed in a black outfit with a coordinated hat and brown heels.
At the prestigious event, the mom-of-two was accompanied by Australia's High Commissioner, Stephen Smith, and acting High Commissioner for New Zealand, Chris Seed.
For those unaware, Anzac Day has been commemorated in the UK's capital since the first anniversary of the First World War Anzac - Australian and New Zealand Army Corps - landings at Gallipoli, Turkey, in 1916.
According to Daily Express, Duchess Sophie is also expected to visit another wreath-laying ceremony at the Cenotaph and a service of commemoration and thanksgiving at Westminster Abbey this week.
King Charles' heartfelt message on Anzac Day
This public engagement comes after His Majesty released a somber message on the occasion of Anzac Day 2025.
Taking to Instagram, the monarch stated, "As we approach the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, it is with great admiration that I write to thank you, once again, for your selfless service in those most difficult and dangerous times."
Meanwhile, King Charles' younger sister, Princess Anne, visited Turkey to visit north-west Turkey on behalf of the 76-year-old British King.
The Princess Royal remembered "brave Anzacs" during her heartfelt homage to the deceased warriors' families.
Neither King Charles nor his representatives have revealed the reason for skipping the Anzac Day ceremony in London.
