Kate Middleton and Prince William Celebrate Coronation with Heartfelt Video
The historic coronation ceremony of King Charles and Queen Camilla at Westminster Abbey in London was a day to remember for the royal family.
The event, which took place on Saturday, was attended by Prince William and Kate Middleton, who shared a heartfelt Instagram clip just hours after the ceremony.
In the video, which was shared to the Prince and Princess of Wales joint Instagram account, the couple could be seen wearing formal robes and mantles for the occasion.
Their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis also joined them at the event.
The clip featured flashes of other scenes from the coronation and ended with a view of King Charles and Queen Camilla waving to excited onlookers.
Trending:
William, 40, and Kate, 41, captioned the video, “What a day!
Thank you to everyone who made it happen!”
As previously reported, the couple wore the formal attire at the request of the King and Queen.
William specifically wore the ceremonial dress uniform of the Welsh Guards, while Kate wore an ivory silk crepe dress by Alexander McQueen, featuring silver bullion and three-dwork embroidery with rose, thistle, daffodil, and shamrock motifs, symbolizing the U.K.’s four nations.
During the historic crowning ceremony, the Prince of Wales, who is heir to the British throne, assisted Baroness Moron and bishops in putting the robe royal on King Charles before he was crowned with the St. Edward’s crown.
Prince William also knelt before King Charles and placed his hands in his father’s afterward.
He said, “I, William, Prince of Wales, pledge my loyalty to you and faith and truth I will bear unto you, as your liege man of life and limb.
So help me God.”
The vow, known as the homage of royal blood, echoes one made by Prince Philip to Queen Elizabeth at her 1953 coronation, when he swore to be her liege man of life and limb.
The words of fealty and William’s role were confirmed last week in the liturgy of the coronation service released by the Office of the Archbishop of Canterbury at Lambeth Palace.
Charles named William Prince of Wales following Queen Elizabeth’s death in September, providing him with the traditional title for the heir.
Talking about the future of the country and their future roles has strengthened their bond, a source who knows both King Charles and Prince William previously told PEOPLE.
The source also told PEOPLE that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s decision to move to California after stepping back as senior members of the royal family in 2020 brought William and Charles closer.
Harry, 38, attended his father’s coronation ceremony, despite not playing an official role in the service.
He and William did not appear to cross paths at the coronation, as they did not sit together during the church service.
Harry was pictured smiling from ear to ear at the event, wearing a mourning suit for the occasion.
The video shared by William and Kate on Instagram shows how the couple is celebrating this historic day with their family.
