The Prince of Wales has revealed that he is trying to take a more modern approach to royal duties with “a smaller R in the royal”. The Prince said the world needed “more empathetic leadership”, suggesting that he had made a deliberate decision to focus less on the pomp and pageantry and more on “helping people”.

Catherine, Princess of Wales joined the royal family as they paid their respects to all those who have lost their lives in conflicts at the annual Remembrance Day service in London on Sunday.

The Princess of Wales will attend Remembrance events in London at the weekend, Buckingham Palace has said. She will attend both the Sunday service at the Cenotaph and the Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall on Saturday evening. The princess has been gradually returning to public royal duties following her cancer treatment.
