Catherine, the princess of Wales, is attending a Holocaust Memorial Day event in the UK this afternoon.

It was already known that Prince William would be at the memorial, but it has been announced that Catherine will be there next to him as she continues her return from ill health.

The event will bring together religious and bourgeois leaders as well as survivors from the Holocaust.

Royals have been very committed to these memorials. King Charles participates in the memorial at Auschwitz in Poland.

Queen Camilla, at a reception last week, hosted by Anne Frank Trust, gave a strong talk about the need to prevent prejudice.

“Today more than ever with levels of anti -Semitism at their highest level of a generation; And disturbing rises in Islamophobia and other forms of racism and prejudice, we must follow this warning, ”said the queen.

“The deadly seeds from the Holocaust were first sown in small exclusion, aggression and discrimination,” she said.
