Prince William, Princess Kate Middleton and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, arrived at VE Day anniversary events in London on Monday, May 5, just days after Prince Harry said he was open to “reconciliation” with his estranged family.
Kate’s chic purple, vintage-inspired suit and hat were a symbolic nod to the occasion: the 80th anniversary of VE — Victory in Europe — Day, which is celebrated in May every year in the U.K., marking the end of World War II in 1945.
Kate, 43, stood out against the rest of her family, who were all dressed in more somber navy blue, as they took their seats in the front row for the military procession outside Buckingham Palace.
She and husband William, 42, chatted animatedly to veterans, with Louis, 7, seen dutifully and very cutely dusting down his dad’s jacket on what was a slightly blustery afternoon in London.

King Charles III and Queen Camilla also waved at onlookers as they and other prominent members of the royal family, including the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, arrived at the event.

Unsurprisingly, Harry, Meghan Markle and their family were absent from the event, which took place shortly after Harry spoke to the BBC about his relationship with the royals. “I would love reconciliation with my family,” he said on Friday, May 2. “There’s no point in continuing to fight anymore. Life is precious. I don’t know how much longer my father has.”
The interview came after what Harry described as a “devastating” loss in the Court of Appeal, in which his bid for increased security in the U.K. was rejected — which he said meant he and his family could never return to the country.

I love my country. I always have done. Despite what some people in that country have done. I miss the U.K., I miss parts of the U.K., of course I do. I think that it’s really quite sad that I won’t be able to show my children my homeland.”
