Prince William, Princess Kate step out amid Epstein fallout, protests

Prince William, Princess Kate and other royal family members were spotted at the Commonwealth Day Service amid protests against the monarchy.

The former Prince Andrew may not be a working royal anymore, but the shadow of his controversies looms large.

Several members of the British royal family — Prince William, Princess Kate, King Charles III and Queen Camilla — were spotted at Westminster Abbey in London on Monday, March 9, for the 2026 Commonwealth Day Service.

The annual celebration, which traces its roots back to the chiefly British Empire Day, observes the unity of the Commonwealth of Nations, an international association of 56 countries. It's often celebrated through a series of local events, which can include "faith and civic gatherings, debates, school assemblies, flag-raising ceremonies and cultural events," according to the Commonwealth's official website.

The royals' appearance comes nearly a month after Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested by British police on suspicion of misconduct in public life. He has since been released from custody.

The Prince and Princess of Wales, decked out in matching navy-blue ensembles, partook in the festivities as they sat inside the royal church and watched the service, as seen in photos from the event.
