While children have a few more months to buy a card and nab some flowers here in the U.S., across the pond it’s Mother’s Day already and the royals are celebrating accordingly.
On Sunday, King Charles III posted a heartfelt tribute to his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, to the official Instagram of the royal family.
“Wishing all mothers, and those who are missing theirs today, a peaceful Mothering Sunday,” he wrote, alongside a black-and-white shot of him with his mother at the Royal Windsor Horse Show in 1956. Queen Elizabeth died in 2022 at 96.
The post also included a photo of Queen Camilla’s mother Rosalind.
The dedication comes as the king’s own health has fallen under increased scrutiny. After being diagnosed with an unspecified form of cancer in February last year, the monarch has been undergoing treatment and was hospitalized briefly on Thursday due to side effects.
The palace said in a statement at the time that he had returned to his home, Clarence House, and that — as a precaution — his engagements for Friday would be rescheduled.
Princess Kate, Duchess Meghan celebrate Mother’s Day
The younger branches of the royal family tree also shared their Mother’s Day celebrations with fans.
Princess Kate shared a video to her and Prince William’s joint Instagram celebrating nature.
“Over the past year, nature has been our sanctuary,” wrote Kate, who has publicly shared her own cancer battle. “This Mother’s Day, let us celebrate mother nature and recognize how our bond with the natural world can help not only nurture our inner selves, but remind us too of the role we play within the rich tapestry of life.”
Kate and William share three children: Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6.
Back stateside, Duchess Meghan shared her own snapshot of Mother’s Day, posting a picture to Instagram of a lemon tart alongside the caption: “Our family tradition. Mothering Sunday in the UK 🍋.”
Meghan and Prince Harry, who stepped back from their royal duties in 2020 amid a rift with the family, share two children: Archie, 5, and Lilibet, 3.
The duchess, who has returned to public life with a splashy new Netflix show and podcast, has also treated fans to more photos of her family, sharing snaps of Archie and Lilibet on her recently-reactivated Instagram.
