Part 5/10:
The Significance of the 80th Anniversary of VJ Day
Amid the royal family’s internal conflicts, there is also a sense of unity and remembrance as they prepare to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Victory over Japan (VJ) Day. This milestone marks the end of World War II in the Pacific, a pivotal moment in world history and British military history.
King Charles will lead the official tributes, delivering a personal address on the morning of August 15th. The King’s involvement underscores the importance of honoring those who served and sacrificed during the war. His scheduled visits include the National Memorial in the Midlands and meetings with veterans—an event notably attended by Prince George at Buckingham Palace, marking one of his most significant royal engagements to date.
