The Commonwealth Day Service, held at London's Westminster Abbey on the second Monday of March, is attended by members of the British royal family, led, of course, by Queen Elizabeth II. Over the years, the royal VIP list at the multi-faith church service, which recognizes the 53 countries and its people that make up the Commonwealth, has varied, but often includes Prince Charles and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, Sophie Wessex and often, in recent years, Prince William and Kate Middleton. The Duchess of Cambridge's style for the formal church occasion is always picture perfect, from her designer hats to her heels. Take a look back at the style details from her Commonwealth outfits both past and present. 2018On March 12, 2018, pregnant Duchess Kate was elegant in a navy blue coat and dress by luxury label Beulah London as she arrived at Westminster Abbey with Prince William, Prince Harry and Harry's fiancée Meghan Markle.Photo: Getty Images
