Despite the sobriety with which members of the royal families appear, we see many of them shed tears and cry, during certain moments and occasions. This does not depend on the royal family in London, but rather includes all royal families when some of their members are unable to hide their emotions or emotions. We mention a number of them, starting with Princess Kate Middleton, wife of British Prince William, Crown Prince of Britain, who shed tears when the Tunisian tennis player lost the British Wimbledon Championship.
Kate Middleton
Middleton is 41 years old, and she is a sponsor of the “All Britain” club, and she was watching Tunisian tennis player Anas Jaber in her last match with Czech Marketa Vondrousova. Throughout the match, Middleton, who is very fond of tennis, was cheering and applauding. It was clear that she sympathized with Anas Jaber, who cried publicly after losing the match. Indeed, Princess Kate cried and shed tears as well, and wiped her tears from her eyes while watching the end of the match from the royal balcony.
Queen Elizabeth
The first time that Queen Elizabeth II cried in public on December 11, 1997 in Portsmouth, when the yacht “HMY – Britannia”, which she loved so much, was taken out of service. It was a shocking sight for all who watched the royal family, given that they were accustomed to its stoic style of appearance and dealing. After 43 years in business and traveling nearly a million miles around the world, this yacht has been taken out of service. The Queen was seen crying in 2002 for playing the role of her late mother at the British Champions Anniversary Ceremony. It is rare for the Queen Mother not to attend this occasion, and she participated in it in 2001, a few months before her death in March of the same year.
King Charles III
King Charles was touched and shed rare tears when he won the first horse race of his reign without his mother as a guest of honour. King Charles and his wife Camilla stood up when the horse they owned together won the race. He seemed unable to contain his emotions, as he took the award.
Queen Maxima
Máxima is the Queen of the Netherlands, who wiped her tears when she watched the bodies of the victims that were removed from the MH17 plane crash at Eindhoven Airport in July 2014. The Queen collapsed in tears, along with a number of members of the royal family, upon the arrival of the bodies of that accident. Among those who attended the ceremonies to bring those bodies at Eindhoven Airport, King William Alexander and Queen Maxima, the owners of the throne in the Netherlands, who held each other’s hands the moment those bodies were removed from the plane. During several periods, the Queen of the Netherlands was seen wiping tears from her eyes.
Princess Charlene of Monaco
The princess broke down in tears as she exchanged vows with Prince Albert II of Monaco in front of an audience of more than several million. Princess Charlene said in a rare interview, published in 2013, that it was tears of joy. She added, “Everything was emotional, and there were all these mixed emotions given the rumors that were circulating. Obviously, the tension was building and I burst into tears.”
Queen Matilda of Belgium
And the Queen of Belgium shed tears on the 25th of October 2019, when she was attending a party on the occasion of her daughter, Princess Elizabeth, reaching the age of eighteen, so that she became the heir to the Belgian throne as the eldest daughter of King Philip, King of Belgium. During her birthday celebrations, Elizabeth delivered her first official speech as the future first queen. Queen Matilda cried when she watched her eldest daughter deliver her speech, and was seen wiping her tears from her cheek during the ceremony.
