The Cambridges observed the somber milestone with a one-minute moment of silence, to remember those who lost their lives to the COVID-19 virus, according to People.
Afterwards, Prince William lit a candle in remembrance of the lives lost, while Kate, who wore a cream-colored Catherine Walker coat (very bridal!), left daffodils, per ET Online.

Prince William’s first in-person visit of the year was to a vaccine center at the King’s Lynn Corn Exchange, which is located near the Cambridges’ Norfolk country home, Anmer Hall, where he paid tribute to the volunteers and vaccinators.
