King Charles and Prince William to reportedly visit Aberfan to mark anniversary of major UK tragedy
King Charles and Prince William will reportedly be visiting Aberfan to mark the 60th anniversary of a heartbreaking UK tragedy, the catastrophic 1966 mining disaster that took the lives of 28 adults and 116 children. As reported by PEOPLE magazine, the monarch and the Prince of Wales will meet with the survivors of the tragedy, bereaved parents, and also the community members at Aberfan Memorial Garden. It is reportedly the place where the monarch and his eldest son will lay wreaths. According to the report, Queen Camilla will also join them to mark the devastating UK tragedy.
In the meantime, per the publication, following the memorial garden visit, King Charles, Queen Camilla and Prince William will take a short walk to the Aberfan & Merthyr Vale Community Centre. There, they will reportedly meet more community members and more survivors as well. Meanwhile, the Prince of Wales and his wife, Kate Middleton, previously visited Aberfan back in 2023. According to the news outlet, at the time, Jeff Edwards, a survivor of the tragedy, took the Prince and Princess of Wales around the town’s cemetery.
Furthermore, per the news outlet, Jeff Edwards told them that “The visit to the cemetery itself was a very emotional affair.” According to the survivor, the Princess of Wales “obviously saw the children were aged between 7 and 10, which related to her own children.” “That hit her really,” the survivor added.
