The Duke of Sussex and the Duchess of Cambridge were seen this Thursday at Westminster Abbey, which could give clues about the birth of their son
Prince Harry has signed up, at the last minute, for several events featuring the British Royal Family this week. His presence, as happened last Sunday at the traditional Easter mass held in St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, was a surprise this Thursday at Westminster Abbey, where he attended with his sister-in-law, the Duchess of Cambridge, to carry out an official event: the Anzac Day Thanksgiving and Commemoration Service.
For many, this appearance, like Sunday's, could be a clear sign that his wife, the Duchess of Sussex, has not yet given birth to her first child. While it is true, for days everything has been prepared in the United Kingdom to receive the new member of the Windsor family.
Even Doria Ragland, Meghan Markle's mother, is already at her daughter's side to accompany her at this important moment in her life. But while they wait for the imminent arrival of the baby, Prince Harry has found the perfect ally in his sister-in-law. It is not in vain that the Duchess of Cambridge already has three children and could give the couple good advice about motherhood.
For the occasion, the sister-in-law of the Duke of Sussex has opted for a very elegant style: a coat in blue tones that she has combined with a matching headdress. As accessories, she has chosen a clutch and green suede shoes. Along with them, the Duke of Gloucester was also present at Westminster Abbey, as well as other guests of honor such as the High Commissioner of Australia.
They all attended this commemoration event that remembers the Anzac landings at Gallipoli in 1916. It was King George V who initiated this tribute a year after they took place. Since then, the British Royal Family has recognized the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps who died during the landings and has honored the sacrifices of the hundreds of men and women in all wars.
The truth is that Prince Harry's name was not printed on the daughter of the service and hence his appearance, next to the wife of the Duke of Cambridge and exchanging laughter, confidences and good harmony with her, surprised his own people this Thursday. and strangers. While that was happening at Westminster Abbey, the Duke of Cambridge was attending a service in Auckland to honor the victims of the Christchurch terrorist attack on March 15.
This event is part of the two-day visit to New Zealand of the eldest son of Prince Charles of England, who has been able to meet with senior police officers and agents who were in charge of neutralizing that attack. Also, the Duke of Cambridge, who was greeted upon his arrival by New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern with the traditional Maori greeting, was able to place a floral wreath at the War Museum cenotaph. In the next few hours, he will visit Christchurch Hospital and the two mosques that were the scene of the attacks.
Last year, both the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the Duke of Cambridge attended this event. The one who was not seen then was precisely his wife because she was recovering from the birth of his third child, Prince Louis - who celebrated his first year of life on Monday. Curiously, that was the first time that Meghan Markle attended an official service of these characteristics and, as her husband and sister-in-law did this Thursday, she complied with the tradition of wearing a red poppy on her lapel, in memory of those who fell in war.
