Kate and Prince William also replaced their cover photograph, swapping a photograph of Union Jack flags lining a jam-packed road with a snap from the Field of Remembrance, showing poppies on crosses. Last year, the Prince and Princess of Wales picked to change their profile photograph to a closeup of a poppy, the red blossom that has been utilized since 1921 to honor military individuals who died in war, with the number 100 to mark the milestone anniversary of its utilization. King Charles and Sovereign Camilla, who shut down their Clarence House accounts and started using the official Royal Family social media pages after the death of Sovereign Elizabeth in September, also changed their profile photographs.
While the mourning time frame for Sovereign Elizabeth finished, the couple made the main picture a snap of them at the Balmoral War Memorial in Scotland from May 2020, on the 75th anniversary of VE Day.

The change in the social media pages is temporary. After about seven days, the pages usually return to their past photographs.
The last time the official accounts of the royal family individuals changed their photographs was in September following the death of Sovereign Elizabeth.
In addition to reflecting their new titles, the pages replaced their main profile photographs with shots of their royal peaks.
The royal family will mark Remembrance Day with various occasions this week, leading up to Remembrance Sunday on November 13.
Since the start of November, the royals have also been wearing red poppy pins, the image used to commemorate the people who died in war.
On Wednesday, Princess Kate shared a candid second with a 3-year-old kid named Akeem during her visit to Colham Manor Youngsters’ Middle.
After Akeem showed interest in her poppy pin, she removed it from her coat and gave it to him as a special gift.
“Do you have at least some idea what this is for?” Kate asked. “It’s for remembering all the soldiers who died in the war. There you go — that’s for you.”
