Prince William won’t be the sole representative from the United Kingdom, as he will be joined by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and his wife, Victoria,.
Foreign Secretary David Lammy, UK Ambassador to the Vatican Chris Trott, and Sir Keir’s foreign affairs private secretary, Alisa Terry will also mark the attendance.
