The royal family attended the annual VE Day service at Westminster Abbey on May 8, 2025, commemorating the 80th anniversary of Germany’s surrender in World War II. King Charles, Queen Camilla, and the Prince and Princess of Wales joined veterans and dignitaries to honor those who served, with a two-minute silence observed in remembrance of the war’s impact. The ceremony included wreath-laying by Charles and William, a candle-lighting by Winston Churchill’s great-great-grandson, and a prayer for peace, culminating in a live concert in the evening.
