Kate Middleton's sombre appearance
Kate Middleton looked sombre as she joined Prince William and King Charles at the Remembrance Sunday memorial service in central London today. The Princess of Wales donned a black dress and coat with three poppies pinned to her chest.
Symbolic poppy tribute
Princess Kate, 42, wore three poppies at the annual Remembrance Sunday memorial service, possibly in tribute to her great-grandmother’s three brothers who lost their lives in WWI. The late Queen was believed to have worn five poppies to represent different military services.
Royal family's remembrance
King Charles and Prince Charles each wore one poppy as they observed a two-minute silence at 11 am. The royal family, including Kate, laid wreaths to honor those who sacrificed their lives in war. Poppies have been a symbol of remembrance and hope since 1921.
Kate's royal duties
Kate Middleton's attendance at the Remembrance Sunday service follows her appearance at the Festival of Remembrance the night before, marking her return to royal engagements after a break. Prince William has hinted that Kate will have more royal duties lined up in the coming years.
