King Charles and Queen Camilla Reunite With 105-Year-Old Veteran Who Moved Them to Tears By Touching on Monarch's Cancer Battle

Between Princess Kate's Armistice Day ceremony and The King and Queen's VJ Day reception, November 11 marked a busy day of Remembrance Day events for the Royal Family. Following Kate's first solo appearance at the annual Service of Remembrance at the National Memorial Arboretum, members of the Royal Family gathered to honor military veterans at a special Windsor Castle event. During the reception, they met with one attendee who made comments that particularly moved The King and Queen.

Their Majesties previously met 105-year-old Yanvar Abbas at a service of remembrance earlier this year, when the Army veteran went off-script and thanked The King and Queen for being there despite King Charles's battle with cancer. His words appeared to move the couple to tears during the event, which was held at the National Memorial Arboretum in August.
