LONDON – Britain’s Prince William and his wife Catherine on Thursday met volunteers and staff involved in Monday’s funeral for Queen Elizabeth, their first in-person public engagement since the event.
Hundreds of thousands of people turned out to watch the funeral of Britain’s longest-serving monarch on Monday, packing out streets and public spaces in central London and in Windsor, where she was laid to rest at a chapel in Windsor Castle.
The couple, now known as the Prince and Princess of Wales, were greeted by a small crowd of wellwishers upon their arrival outside a hall in central Windsor.
A period of national mourning ended on Tuesday, but an extended period of royal mourning for family members remains in place until Monday.
