“We see all the LGBT+ serving members and veterans of the Armed Forces, and we salute you,” the Palace captioned the post. “This afternoon at the National Memorial Arboretum, The King attended the Dedication Ceremony of a new memorial in recognition of all LGBT+ people who have served and continue to serve in the military.”
The caption continued, “Throughout the 20th century, gay men, lesbians, and bisexual people were banned from serving in the UK Armed Forces. The newly unveiled memorial features a free-standing opened letter, incorporating words drawn from the testimonies of former service personnel affected by the ban, alongside contributions from current serving members and veterans.”
Of course, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen King Charles take a solo moment.
