Despite the health emergency, the celebration of the Remembrance Day, the commemoration of the war dead of the first and second world wars.
A particular celebration, which obviously did not see the participation of the public, but only of a small representation of veterans and soldiers and some exponents of the English government.
As every year, Kate Middleton appeared at the London Cenotaph together with Camilla, obviously from a distance, while the Queen Elizabeth attended the service from another balcony.
The Duchess of Cambridge again this time did not disappoint expectations: she chose to wear a customized black Alexander McQueen coat, one of her favorite designers for the most important official occasions. The structured cut outerwear, with buttons in evidence, is characterized by important shoulder pads, with tassels on the shoulders.
Lady Middleton then wore a Philip Treacy hat and drop earrings with diamonds and pearls borrowed from Queen Elizabeth II, according to the Daily Mail. Like last year, Kate chose to wear her hair in a low bun, and completed the look with a very natural make-up, with a touch of blush and nude lips.
Inevitable, both on Kate’s coat, as in that of Queen Elizabeth – who for the first time appeared in public wearing a mask – and Camilla, the brooches in the shape of a red poppy, symbol of Remembrance Day. In fact, poppies are the most common flowers grown in the bloodiest battlefields and the red indicates precisely the bloodshed during world conflicts.
However, not all brooches are the same: in fact, Elizabeth wears one with five poppies. Although Buckingham Palace has never confirmed this theory, they are thought to represent the army, navy, RAF, civil defense and women. Different speech for the brooch worn on this occasion by Kate Middleton, with three poppies, like the brothers of the great-grandmother who fell during the First World War.
And while Prince William laid a wreath along with Prince Charles and Prime Minister Boris Johnson, impossible not to notice the absence of the Principe Harry and Prince Andrew, as both have given up their royal duties.
