King Charles III and Queen Camilla have refreshed their official social media profiles to honor Remembrance Day. On November 5, their Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), and Facebook pages adopted new images reflecting the occasion’s solemn spirit.
Observed on November 11, Remembrance Day in the U.K. is similar to Veterans Day in the U.S., paying tribute to men and women who served in the Armed Forces nationwide. Each year, King Charles leads the Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph in London, a key event attended by many Royal Family members.
Before the ceremony, the royal team updates the King’s and Queen’s profile and cover photos in early November as a sign of respect. This digital tribute has become a yearly tradition for the royal household, with the special Remembrance images typically remaining online for about a week.
The 2025 profile picture shows King Charles and Queen Camilla at a 2009 Remembrance Day service at the National War Memorial in Ottawa, Canada, the same image used last year. Their new cover photo on X and Facebook displays a close-up of red poppies, symbolizing remembrance, accompanied by the words:
“Lest we forget”
and the Royal Coat of Arms in the corner.
Prince William and Kate Middleton have a similar custom of updating their social media around this time, though they have not yet changed their profiles this year.
King Charles’s team said, “The special Remembrance images usually stay up for about a week.”
