The Prince and Princess of Wales joined other senior members of the royal family at Westminster Abbey to honor the resilience and unity of the Commonwealth.
During the Commonwealth Day service on March 10, 2025, King Charles III shared a warm moment with his eldest son, Prince William, greeting him with a kiss on the cheek. However, no similar gesture was exchanged between the King and Princess Catherine, fueling speculation online.
A widely shared video captures the moment when Charles, after greeting William, appears to turn away from Catherine. Meanwhile, William moved on to greet Queen Camilla, while the King seemingly continued down the line without acknowledging his daughter-in-law.
Despite this, Catherine showed no sign of discomfort. She maintained her composure, wearing a warm smile as she stood gracefully in line, prepared for the ceremony to begin. Even so, some observers couldn’t ignore the seemingly awkward interaction and quickly shared their opinions online.
@hellomag The royal family all arrived for Commonwealth Day Service at Westminster Abbey today, but King Charles forgot to greet the Princess of Wales! 👀
One observer remarked, “Honestly, Charles doesn’t look like he even cares much for Williams [sic] greeting. That whole little moment is kinda uncomfortable to watch.”
Another was even more blunt, stating, “He totally ignored her.”
According to one fan, this wasn’t an isolated event, as they pointed out, “This isn’t the first time he has snubbed Kate Middleton.”
