Summary
- King Charles and Queen Camilla mark 3rd anniversary of Queen Elizabeth's death at Balmoral Castle

- Tensions remain between Harry and brother Prince William, who carry out separate engagements
On September 8, 2025, King Charles and Queen Camilla are spending the third anniversary of Queen Elizabeth's death and his accession day at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. The late monarch passed away at the castle in 2022, becoming the first British sovereign to die in Scotland since 1542.
Across the country, the royal family is marking this solemn occasion. The previous day, the King and Queen attended church services at Crathie Kirk, where prayers were said to commemorate Accession Day and the recent passing of the Duchess of Kent.
While the King and Queen remain in Scotland, Prince Harry, 40, has returned to the UK for the first time since April 2025. On Monday, he will attend the WellChild Awards in London and then travel to Nottingham to announce a major donation to Children in Need. Earlier, Harry also visited the burial place of his grandmother at St. George's Chapel in Windsor to pay his respects privately.
However, the rift between Harry and his brother, Prince William, 43, remains. The brothers are not expected to meet during Harry's time in the UK, as they carry out conflicting schedules of appearances. William and his wife Kate Middleton were seen visiting the Women's Institute in Berkshire, a group Queen Elizabeth had been an enthusiastic member of for 80 years.
