How Will the Royal Family Mark the First Anniversary of Queen Elizabeth's Death?
After a historic reign, Queen Elizabeth died at the age of 96 on September 8, 2022. As the first anniversary of her death approaches, there are reports emerging about how the royal family will honor her memory.
A good deal has changed for the royals in the months since Queen Elizabeth‘s passing. Notably, King Charles ascended the throne on the day of her death. He was formally crowned a few months later in May.
While the family has not yet formally announced plans for next month, there is precedent that offers insight into what to expect.

Reports suggest that Prince William and Princess Catherine (aka Kate Middleton) will join the King and Queen. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who live in the United States after stepping back from royal duties, do not have official plans.
