Their Majesties Attended A Memorial Service Of Dear Friend In London

The King and Queen attended a memorial service in London on Thursday to pay tribute to one of their dearest friends.

Charles, 75, and Camilla, 76, were among the high-profile guests at St Paul’s Church in Knightsbridge to honor the late Sir Chippendale ‘Chips’ Keswick.

Also in attendance were the Queen’s sister, Annabel Elliot, Camilla’s ex-husband Andrew Parker Bowles, and former footballer Tony Adams.

The King wore a navy suit with a matching tie, while the Queen looked elegant in a black A-line dress adorned with white embroidery on the cuffs and lapels. Upon arrival, Their Majesties were greeted by Reverend Canon Alan Gyle.

British merchant banker Sir Chips, who retired as Arsenal chairman in 2020 after 15 years on the board, died at the age of 84 on 17 April.

His widow Lady Sarah Keswick has known the King and Queen since the 1970s and is one of Her Majesty’s Companions. She shared three sons with Sir Chips – David, Tobias and Adam.

Andrew Parker Bowles was also among the guests

Charles, then the Prince of Wales, and Camilla both attended Lady Sarah’s 50th birthday party at the Ritz in London in 1995, in one of their first public appearances together – although they both arrived at the bash separately.
