Queen Camilla shared an emotional moment with a World War II veteran this week, expressing heartfelt admiration and personal reverence for those who served during the war, including her own father, Major Bruce Shand.
In a touching conversation at Clarence House ahead of the VE Day 80th anniversary commemorations, the 77-year-old Queen’s voice trembled as she sat down with veteran Douglas Cracknell to reflect on the sacrifices made during the war. “The Queen sat down with veteran Douglas Cracknell at Clarence House ahead of #VEDay80 commemorations,” the royal family shared in a post on Instagram, along with a poignant video of the exchange.
