The royal family found itself subjected to attention and scrutiny from the public and media after Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex’s explosive interview with the BBC on May 3, 2025. In the interview, Prince Harry expressed his disappointment at losing his appeal for his family’s security during his visit to the United Kingdom. His interview also preceded a significant public engagement for the royal family, the VE Day celebrations. All eyes were on the senior members of the royal family during the anticipated occasion, which came on the heels of Prince Harry shedding light on his row with his family and his hopes for reconciliation.
On May 5, 2025, the Prince and Princess of Wales showcased a united front during the 80th anniversary of VE Day, reaffirming their steadfast commitment to duty and family amidst ongoing royal tensions. Although many expected the royals to still be reeling from the stress incurred by the interview, the Prince and Princess of Wales appeared relaxed – a true feat with three young children having to sit still for so long.
Their composed presence and subtle interactions provided a poignant contrast to the reported familial discord, impressing royal watchers who had been anticipating their reaction. Prince William looked dapper in his formal attire while Princess Catherine appeared chic and classy in a purple coat dress with a matching hat. Their children wore coordinated blue outfits for the occasion, with Prince Louis stealing the show with his adorable antics throughout the day.

Body language expert Darren Stanton analyzed the royal family’s interactions at the recent VE Day celebrations, commending them on the “united front” they presented amid an ongoing public relations crisis and Prince Harry’s revelations.
“Kate and William looked stronger than ever on VE Day. They put on a united front, and it’s clear they’re working together as a team and wanting to keep their heads held high right now,” he said.
While many expected the royal family’s discomfort to show as they stepped out in public, Prince William and Princess Catherine maintained their composure, acting as they have always done while attending public engagements. According to Stanton:
“We didn’t see any signs of nervousness; their eye contact with one another was strong and engaged, and their postures were upright throughout. They looked confident and took everything in their stride together.”
With the Prince and Princess of Wales being the future faces of the royal family, it’s reassuring to see them appear confident and composed in public. Their popularity rankings are also relatively high, with Catherine being ranked the most popular member of the royal family. Stanton reaffirmed this, saying:
“In many ways, Kate and William are emerging as the ultimate dream team in the family. It was great to see them take the lead and be in the limelight, setting a great example for the nation.”
He also complimented the naturally easy interaction between the two and their camaraderie.
“When working alongside each other, they never fail to connect on the same page emotionally. They’re always in sync with one another’s emotions, as we saw Kate actively checking in with William briefly to see if he was ok,” he said.
