Princess Kate and Prince William Share Unexpected Message About "Courage" and "Sacrifice" During Their Summer Break

Prince William wears a V-neck sweater with a blue shirt underneath and Kate Middleton wears a green jacket.

Princess Kate and Prince William are currently on a summer break from their official duties as senior members of the Royal Family. As a result, the Prince and Princess of Wales didn't attend the ceremony in honor of the 80th anniversary of VJ Day alongside Queen Camilla—who was seen crying—and King Charles. Instead, they shared a special message on social media highlighting the significance of the event.

As their 3 children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—are on vacation from school, it's likely that the family is spending some quality time together. Princess Kate and Prince William shared a tribute on their Instagram Stories on August 15, saying, "Today, on the 80th anniversary of VJ Day, we remember the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of all who served."
