Princess Kate delighted royal fans tonight as she joined senior members of the Royal Family alongside her eldest son, Prince George, for tonight’s Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall. Arriving at the impressive concert hall in Kensington, the princess looked picture perfect in her black outfit, with a poppy pinned to her dress.
Kate donned a stunning black dress by Alessandra Rich, which featured an exaggerated white collar and the HMS Glasgow Brooch. She also paid a touching tribute to Queen Elizabeth II by wearing a pair of pearl earrings belonging to her, as well as a diamond cross necklace.
Her handmade poppy was by Izzy Ager of Lock & Co., who has recently graduated from The Royal School of Needlework. Kate had her hair styled in her signature loose waves.
It was made using silk, glass and other natural materials and all proceeds were donated to The Poppy Appeal. George looked all grown up in a dark suit. It was his first time attending the annual event.
The future Queen arrived without her husband, the Prince of Wales, who landed back in the UK just hours earlier following his five-day trip to Brazil. William visited Rio de Janeiro and Belem, conducting engagements on the environment anddelivering speeches urging leaders to take action to protect our planet.
Kate stayed at home with their three children while her husband was away, helping to settle them into their new residence. The Wales family moved from Adelaide Cottage to nearby Forest Lodge, also on the Windsor Estate, just a few days before William left for Brazil.
The new home, an eight-bedroom Georgian-style mansion, is seen as a fresh start for the family following a tumultuous period for the young family.
The past few years have seen the death of Queen Elizabeth II, public attacks against the family from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, cancer diagnoses for Kate and the King and the endless scandals engulfing Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.
Moving to their “forever home” allows for a physical reset and a chance to start a new chapter.
Tonight, the Royal Family are attending the annual Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance, dedicated to all those who have served and given their lives in the service of their country.
This year, the Festival of Remembrance commemorates the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.
It also marks the 25th anniversary of the UK Government lifting the ban on gay, lesbian, and bisexual personnel serving openly in the Armed Forces and reflects on past discrimination, while celebrating the progress made since 2000.
The King, Patron of the Royal British Legion earlier this year, and Queen led the Royal Family at the poignant event, which comes ahead of the National Service of Remembrance at the Cenotaph tomorrow morning.
On Sunday, William and Kate will join the King and Queen for the sombre event, which will see thousands gathered in the heart of Whitehall to watch the Remembrance Service, during which some 10,000 veterans will march past the memorial.
The Royal Family will lead the nation in two minutes of silent reflection, punctuated by gunfire by the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery from nearby Horse Guards Parade.
