The King is “buoyed” by the support of his family, says Emily Nash

Earlier today, the King and Queen were flanked by several members of the royal family including the Prince and Princess of Wales, to attend the annual Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey.

It was the first major public gathering for The Firm since Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s shock arrest two and a half weeks ago. The King exuded the ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’ attitude the royals are well known for as he celebrated the 56 member nations that make up the Commonwealth, of which he is head.

Catherine and William arrived just before the King and Queen

Emily Nash was present at the uplifting service, also attended by 1,800 fellow guests, and shared her thoughts on the King’s stoicism and how he is buoyed by the support of his family.
