Charles set to ‘break Queen’s tradition’ on first Remembrance Sunday as monarch

According to reports, King Charles will lay a wreath that has a different design from his late mother’s – and Queen Consort Camilla will also have a wreath laid at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday

King Charles will reportedly break a tradition set by his mother the late Queen when he leads the nation at his first Remembrance Sunday service as monarch.

His Majesty is set to lay a wreath on behalf of the country at the Cenotaph in Central London in the annual Remembrance ceremony on November 13. The ceremony was said to be a key event in the late Queen’s diary and she only missed it on a handful of occasions during her 70-year reign. Her wreath featured around 90 poppies and was either laid by her personally or on her behalf in latter years by Charles.

However, this year, the Telegraph reports that new monarch Charles will lay a wreath that has a different design from his mother’s.

His wreath will reportedly feature fewer poppies than the late Queen’s – although the flowers on it will be bigger – and it will also feature a wide ribbon in his racing colours.
