The Prince and Princess of Wales revealed their most memorable moments of November in a social media "rewind" post.

The 14 thread X post reposted videos from their public appearances with the caption "Welcome to the November Rewind".


It began with the Prince of Wales's trip to South Africa for The Earthshot Prize Awards Ceremony at the beginning of the month, featuring nine posts of various engagements the heir to the throne attended.

Despite Prince Kate announcing she would temporarily step back from official royal duties in March following her cancer diagnosis, she made two major appearances on Remembrance Weekend this month.

Princess Kate attended the Remembrance Sunday ceremony in London for her second public appearance in two days.

In addition, she attended the Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall alongside William in her first royal engagement of the month.

She had previously highlighted the remembrance weekend as a key date she wanted to attend.

The post highlights Prince William's trip to Newport, Wales, on November 20, as he worked towards his ambition to end homelessness.

In the final ten days, the Prince of Wales visited the 1st Battalion Welsh Guards at Salisbury Plain to observe their transition from ceremonial duties back to military operations.

His most recent appearance was on November 27, when he attended the 2024 Tusk Conservation Awards at London's prestigious Savoy Hotel.

Prince William has referred to this year as the "hardest year of his life" and said the last 10 months have been "brutal" for his family.

The Princess of Wales and King Charles were both diagnosed with cancer earlier this year, leading to a royal health crisis.

They concluded the thread by thanking nine accounts, including Billy Porter, Nomzamo Mbatha, and Robert Irwin, whom William met while on his trip to South Africa.

In reaction, one fan commented: "What a great month! Every event is a standout occasion. Bravo Prince and Princess of Wales."

The Princess of Wales also teased her upcoming Christmas Carol Service, which is "just around the corner," urging fans to "stay tuned."

The service, which has become an annual festive event for Kate, will take place on December 6 at Westminster Abbey.
