LONDON (AP) — Prince William and wife Kate have made a surprise joint appearance with Prince Harry and wife Meghan warmly greeting a large crowd gathered outside Windsor Castle to remember their long-reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth II.
Their "walkabout" was the first time the brothers have appeared amicably together in public since March 2020.
It comes at a time when the younger generation of Britain's royal family must step up their responsibilities significantly.
William, long second-in-line to the throne, is now the heir apparent after his father, King Charles III, became Britain's new monarch upon his mother's death.
That means William and Kate, both 40 and parents of three young children, immediately assume a much more central role as the new face of the monarchy.
