King Charles and Queen Camilla attended the St. Paul’s cathedral's dedication service, a week after Prince Harry had to attend another service there on his own.
Reported by the Mirror, The King and Queen donned bright red robes for the service at St. Paul's Cathedral, honoring the Order of the British Empire, which recognizes individuals from diverse backgrounds who have received honors.
At the same cathedral last week, Prince Harry marked the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, which he established in 2014 to support injured servicemen and women.
The event included a reading by the Duke of Sussex and a poem recitation by actor Damian Lewis.
Notably, Harry attended without any other members of the Royal Family, following King Charles's prior announcement that he was too occupied to reunite with his son during his visit to the UK.
Established by King George V in 1917 to acknowledge exceptional contributions to the war effort, the Order of the British Empire now honors individuals from various fields, including well-known distinctions such as MBEs and OBEs, as well as Knighthoods and Damehoods.
As the Sovereign of the Order of the British Empire, the King, with Camilla serving as the Grand Master, presides over its affairs.
According to the Mirror, the King's attendance at St. Paul’s cathedral aligns with his busy summer schedule, as aides work tirelessly to manage his commitments.
Despite his recent cancer diagnosis, sources close to the monarchy told the Mirror that the King remains optimistic about the future and is eager to resume his duties, signaling a return to work.
