The Cambridges are undoubtedly the most talked-about family in the world, and in the aftermath of the Sussex family’s resignation, they are making non-stop headline news.

Their popularity has only surged during the coronavirus outbreak, with Kate and Wills sharing sneak peeks of their royal offices to Instagram, releasing sweet videos of their children and surprising NHS workers, school teachers and young students with video phone calls to boost morale and give thanks.

Yes, the Cambridges have been all over social media, with Prince William even reportedly having to be kept off the royal Twitter to stop him posting his support to Aston Villa.

Since rehiring the former social media staff of Harry and Meghan, the Cambridge couple has been upping their Instagram game, recently making a major change as they started using their ‘Instagram Reels’ feature, allowing them to make fun videos and release them to music.

This week however it was a touching update to the Cambridges’ social media channels that made headlines, as they joined royal family members in commemorating Remembrance Day.

Prince William and Kate Middleton have amended their social channels to mark the occasion, changing their profile picture to an old photograph of the Duke and Duchess laying a wreath of remembrance.

This comes after the Cambridges released a photograph of a plate of poppy cupcakes that the family of five baked together and distributed to residents at a care home.

Other royal family members that have changed their profile pictures to mark the date of remembrance are the Queen, Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.
