Commonwealth Day is an annual commemoration observed by all Commonwealth states on the second Monday of March. It is meant to be a celebration of the strength of the Commonwealth, as it promotes global peace, understanding, and cooperation.
Each year, the royal family attends the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey together. This year, with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle away in the United States, the service featured King Charles III, Queen Consort Camilla, Prince William, and Kate.
But this Commonwealth Day service was quite special for the royal family. It marked Charles’s first celebration as King. And it was the first Commonwealth event William and Kate attended as Prince and Princess of Wales — titles given to them after King Charles III ascended the throne.

It was gifted to Princess Alexandra in 1863 by the Ladies of North Wales and worn by Princess Diana.
