Princess Kate Wears Royal Earrings And Poppies For Remembrance Day
The Princess of Wales wore specific royal heirlooms and commemorative items during Sunday's National Service of Remembrance at London's Cenotaph.
Sunday Morning Ceremony Details
Kate Middleton joined senior royals for the National Service of Remembrance at London's Cenotaph on Sunday morning. She wore a black Catherine Walker coat topped with an asymmetric wide-brimmed hat by Jane Taylor. The Princess fastened three red poppies to her garment alongside a sterling silver HMS Glasgow Brooch. This brooch was specially commissioned in 2025 by jeweler James Porter & Son to mark her sponsorship of the warship.
Historical Jewelry Significance
Her earrings featured large pearls suspended from diamond settings that originally belonged to Princess Diana. London jewelers Collingwood gave these items to Diana before her wedding in 1981. Earlier that evening at the Royal Albert Hall, she wore Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Orbital Pendant Earrings. Kate first displayed those specific earrings publicly in 2016 for significant royal moments.
Family History Connections
The three poppies attached to her coat link to the family history of her great-grandmother Olive. Three brothers of that ancestor died during the First World War according to available reports. The Princess has never publicly confirmed this specific connection regarding her personal family lineage.
