Kate Middleton to Honor Queen Elizabeth II on Remembrance Sunday
Princess Kate Middleton is expected to join other royal family members at the National Service of Remembrance on November 9, held at the Cenotaph on Whitehall. She often attends this event wearing all black with a Remembrance poppy pinned to her chest.
Tradition and Symbolism in Her Attire
Over the years, Kate has complemented her somber outfits with meaningful jewelry. Tobias Kormind, Managing Director of Europe's largest online diamond jeweller, 77 Diamonds, shared insights on what pieces she might wear this year.
"For this year’s Remembrance Service at the Cenotaph, the Princess of Wales’ jewellery will undoubtedly be chosen with care and purpose. We can expect her to complement her dark, often military-inspired attire with a pair of elegant pearl earrings, a traditional choice among royal women for solemn occasions."
Jewelry with Historical Significance
Kormind noted Kate has previously worn the Collingwood and Bahrain Pearl Earrings. These pieces pay tribute to her late mother-in-law, Diana, Princess of Wales, and the late Queen Elizabeth II, who served in the Auxiliary Territorial Service during World War II, becoming the first female British royal to join the armed forces.
