The Prince and Princess of Wales attended other senior royals at Westminster Abbey for a ceremony celebrating the enduring spirit of the Commonwealth family.
On March 10, 2025, during the Commonwealth Day service, King Charles III warmly embraced his eldest son, Prince William, greeting him with a kiss on the cheek. However, no such exchange happened between the monarch and Princess Catherine, sparking discussion online.
A circulating clip records the moment, showing Charles turning his back on Catherine after greeting William. Meanwhile, William continued to greet Queen Camilla while the King appeared to move on, standing in line without acknowledging his daughter-in-law.about:blank
However, Princess Catherine was ignored by Charles’s actions.
She kept a warm smile and stood poised in line, ready for the start of the ceremony. Still, some fans couldn’t help but notice the serious exchange between Charles and Catherine.
One person comments, “Honestly, Charles doesn’t look like he even cares much for Williams [sic] greeting. That whole little moment is kinda uncomfortable to watch.” Another was more direct, stating, “He totally ignored her.”
The fan confirmed, “This isn’t the first time he has snubbed Kate Middleton.”
Someone else happened, centering on the body language, “The kings has his back turned again [sic].” And one surprised viewer wondered, “Did Charles not care to look at Catherine? Not even a blown kiss?”
One individual commented, “Maybe he is sicker than we are allowed to know and she did not want to give him her germs. Unless the king was getting kissed by all and sundry, i think this is an indication about how sick he really is [sic].”
