The Princess of Wales represented King Charles at the Anzac Day ceremony held at London's Cenotaph on April 25, 2026. She was seen wearing a dark navy coat dress, accessorized with a red poppy.

Her attendance marked a solemn occasion to honor all Australians and New Zealanders who have sacrificed their lives in conflict and those who have served. This was a solo engagement for the Princess, as she laid a wreath on behalf of the King.

Following the wreath-laying, the Princess of Wales proceeded to Westminster Abbey for a church service. Earlier on the same day, Princess Anne had attended the dawn service at Wellington Arch, also marking Anzac Day.
