Princess Kate looks sombre in structured coat dress – with intricate lace detail
The Prince and Princess of Wales joined members of the royal family, including King Charles and Queen Camilla, at the 2025 National Service of Remembrance
The Princess of Wales looked supremely elegant on 9 November as she joined senior members of the royal family, including King Charles and Queen Camilla, at the 2025 National Service of Remembrance at The Cenotaph in London. Kate, 43, was seen wearing a structured black coat dress with boxy shoulders, a high neckline, and a fitted bodice, which, according to Royal Fashion Daily on Instagram, was the 'Evie' style by Catherine Walker. Added to the tasteful outerwear was a brand new detail – a lace ruffled scarf which added to the formality of her overall look. The royal wore her glossy brunette locks in loose curls, which cascaded down her back.
The front section was pulled away from her face to allow for a beautiful asymmetrical hat, the 'Belvedere' style by Lock & Co. She also donned a pair of pearl drop earrings, which seemed to be a family heirloom, her late mother-in-law's Collingwood Pearl Earrings. Princess Diana's earrings were a gift in 1981 from the Collingwood jewellery house, the Spencer family's go-to jeweller, upon her engagement to King Charles.
The Prince of Wales reflected with closed eyes during the two minute silence
The annual event, held in Whitehall in central London, pays tribute to those who sacrificed their lives and fought for their country during World War One and World War Two and other conflicts with a two-minute silence and a wreath-laying ceremony led by King Charles.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch carried wreaths
The Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, as well as senior politicians and faith representatives, will also mark the Armistice of the First World War and all other conflicts involving British and Commonwealth forces. Up to 10,000 members of the public are expected to line Whitehall to witness the March Past and observe the moving two-minute silence.
Approximately 10,000 veterans are expected to participate in the March Past, with over 300 different Armed Forces and civilian organisations being represented, including bereaved children and military cadets to some of the last surviving veterans of the Second World War.
