She was joined by royals including Felipe, Letizia, Máxima and Willem-Alexander, who were also very moved by the speeches they heard. A week before, Felipe had been in Israel for the World Holocaust Forum with Prince Charles.

Crown Princess Victoria was, too.

Belgium's King Philippe and Queen Mathilde were among those who lit candles.

The future Swedish Queen also spent time talking with survivors at the event.

We've been moved by how much we've seen royals speaking with survivors, getting to know them and sharing what they've learned over the last week.
