From surprise appearances to fun candids of the King and Queen, you can always count on the Buckingham Palace IG for the best snapshots and updates of the royal family. And this latest post puts the spotlight on the King and Prince honoring a rare royal tradition.
On Friday, May 16, Buckingham Palace shared a striking slideshow of King Charles and Prince William taking on an unusual royal tradition dating back hundreds of years. The pair were attending the Service for the Order of the Bath, a ceremony that takes place every four years. "The order was established by George I in 1725, though its origins go back to medieval times when part of the ceremony of knighthood included a ritual bath symbolic of spiritual purification," Buckingham Palace writes.
In the first photo, we see the royal father and son standing side-by-side wearing bold red cloaks over their traditional military garb and adornments at Westminster Abbey. See the full post down below.
