Kate Middleton joined members of the royal family–sans Queen Elizabeth–to commemorate Remembrance Day this Sunday.
The Duchess of Sussex joined her mother-in-law, Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, and Sophie, Countess of Wessex on a balcony overlooking The Cenotaph at the National Service of Remembrance in London. She and Duchess Camilla watched as Prince Charles laid a wreath on the monument behalf of his mother, who pulled out of the event due to a back sprain.
For the occasion, Duchess Kate donned a military-style Alexander McQueen coat, featuring a white collar and red detailing, which she previously wore to the 2018 Remembrance Day ceremony. She accessorized the look with a black drop-trim hat and a Royal British Legion crystal flower brooch worn over a trio of traditional red poppies. She also wore a pair of pearl drop earrings that previously belonged to Princess Diana.
Prince William, who was dressed in the uniform of a Squadron Leader of the Royal Air Force, also laid a wreath on the Cenopath, honoring all military personnel who lost their lives during the war. Following the Service, Prince William took the salute for the official march of veteran organizations on Horse Guards Parade.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge also attended the Festival of Remembrance, a yearly musical tribute to remember Britain's fallen soldiers, alongside the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and other members of the royal family at London's Royal Albert Hall Saturday evening.
Prince William and Duchess Kate followed the traditional dress code for the event, where men dress in suits and women wear black. The duchess wore a black tweed jacket and matching ankle-length skirt with a red and gold poppy brooch and pearl earrings.
Buckingham Palace confirmed that Queen Elizabeth would miss the Remembrance Day service on the morning of the event, with a royal source adding, "Her Majesty is deeply disappointed to miss the engagement which she regards as one of the most significant engagements of the year." The Queen will remain at Windsor Castle for the days ahead, and plans to continue her schedule of "light official duties" next week.
