Kate Middleton's double nod to Queen Elizabeth II on an emotional Remembrance Day

This past weekend, the British Royal Family was experiencing one of its most emotional commitments: Remembrance Day. For several days, Kings Charles III and Camilla, accompanied by the Princes of Wales, the Dukes of Edinburgh and Princess Anne, paid tribute to those who had fallen in service and veterans of the Armed Forces. A date that had a very special meaning for Queen Elizabeth II, who was very present thanks to Kate Middleton.

Prince William's wife wanted to give a double nod to the monarch, who died in September 2022, through her looks, a recurring practice, since there have been several occasions on which she has wanted to have this gesture both with her grandmother like her husband's mother.

The first tribute was on Saturday night for the Festival of Remembrance, where she recycled a sober black dress by Emilia Wickstead, with a round neck, fitted at the waist and long sleeves. A piece that she wore with Aquazzura pumps and a Stuart Weitzman clutch.

She completed the look with some jewelry that belonged to Queen Elizabeth II, specifically, a triple pearl necklace and some pearl earrings that the monarch received from the king of Bahreim - he gave her seven exclusive pearls - and that she transformed into a combined jewel. with diamonds.

Hours later, at the main event of Remembrance Day held at the Whitehall Cenotaph (London), the Princess of Wales once again kept Elizabeth II in mind with her look. Kate, who seemed very excited at several moments of this event, retrieved from her closet a black military-style coat by Catherine Walker that she wore with a hat with a big bow by Philip Treacy, an accessory she debuted when she was Prince William's girlfriend.

Once again, she chose earrings from the late monarch, this time, a spectacular jewel with large pearls and three gold leaves. She also wore the insignia of the poppy, the flower that symbolizes this memory of the fallen and that all members of the Royal Family wear.
