King Charles has issued a new statement today (October 16) as Queen Camilla attended an important service.
Camilla attended the 2025 National Harvest Service at Westminster Abbey alone on World Food Day today. But just because King Charles, 76, was not there in person, does not mean he didn’t send his best.
The service gave thanks to farmers, recognising their vital contribution to the nation. And King Charles wanted to personally thank everyone involved.

King Charles issues new statement
Taking to the official royal family Instagram page, King Charles shared his personal statement.
It read: “Today is a most wonderful way to celebrate our Lord’s beauty through this year’s National Harvest Service in the magnificent setting of Westminster Abbey.
“It is a time of year to give thanks to the custodians of our land in a tradition that stretches back centuries, yet remains ever relevant.
“Their labour is the foundation of our food production. The heartbeat of rural communities, and vital to the protection of the natural landscapes we all treasure so dearly.”
King Charles couldn’t attend the service today as he had other royal engagements. Instead, he spent the day celebrating the anniversary of the “Handback” at London’s Australia House.
He had visited Uluru – also known as Ayers Rock – during his and Princess Diana’s royal visit of Australia in 1983.
