ROYALSEmotional Kate Middleton and Prince William Pay Respects to Queen Elizabeth 1 Year After Her Death: Photos
The royal family is paying tribute to Queen Elizabeth II on the one-year anniversary of her death.
On Friday, September 8, Prince William and Kate Middleton stopped by St. Davids Cathedral in Wales for a special ceremony known as "an act of reflection for accession day."
The Prince and Princess of Wales greeted locals before honoring Queen Elizabeth.
The parents-of-three looked prim and proper as usual, with William wearing a dark suit, white shirt and blue tie. The brunette beauty looked elegant in a maroon coat-dress, matching headpiece and pointed-toe heels.
As the two made their way to the church, the smiling pair stopped to greet admirers who came to pay their respects.
Her Majesty was 96 when she passed away in September 2022.
Inside, the pair's demeanor was much more somber as they looked at a framed photo of the late monarch that rested beside a cushion and bouquet of flowers.
"A moment of reflection at St Davids Cathedral honouring Her Late Majesty and all that she did for communities like this around the UK, the Commonwealth and the world," read the caption of their Instagram post marking the moment.
Prior to the post, they shared a photo of the queen alongside the words, "Today we remember the extraordinary life and legacy of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth. We all miss you. W & C."
