Prince William and Kate Middleton kicked off a series of World War I commemorative events Monday.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, both 32, arrived in Liège, Belgium, on the 100th anniversary since Britain joined the war. King Philippe and Queen Mathilde greeted their guests at Saint-Laurent abbey at around 10 a.m. local time. Upon his arrival, William laid a poppy wreath at the nearby British memorial.
The British royals also met French president François Hollande at the Cointe Inter-allied memorial. While there, William addressed more than 50 heads of state, including German President Joachim Gauck and Belgian Prime Minister Elio du Rupo. "In the summer of 1914, the Austrian writer, Stefan Zveig, was on holiday in Belgium near Ostend. He describes how people from all over Europe were enjoying themselves together, and comments that a great deal of German was spoken because holidaymakers from the Rhineland liked to come to the Belgian beaches," he said during his speech.
