Princess Catherine, the beloved daughter-in-law of the King, stole the spotlight as she attended the Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall last night.
Alongside Prince William and other senior members of the royal family, Princess Kate looked stunning in a long black Amelia Wickstead dress, accentuated by pearls.
Her long brown hair flowed gracefully down her shoulders, adding to her elegance.
It is worth noting that the dress had been previously worn by the Princess of Wales in 2022, showcasing her penchant for recycling classic outfits.
One of the highlights of the evening was Princess Kate’s choice of jewelry.
She was seen wearing the late monarch’s three-strand pearl necklace, a symbol of high status within royalty.
This necklace not only signifies her future role as queen but also confirms her position as a senior member of the royal family.
Adorning her outfit was the Queen’s Dragoon Guards brooch, a poignant symbol worn by the royal family throughout November to honor fallen troops.
This brooch, made in 1959 for the Queen Mother, holds great significance as she served as Colonel-in-Chief of the regiment during her visit.
Earlier on Remembrance Sunday, Princess Catherine paid a touching tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth as she arrived at the Cenotaph.
Dressed entirely in black, she wore a pair of pearl and diamond-leaf earrings believed to have once belonged to her grandmother-in-law.
As King Charles laid his wreath, the Princess of Wales stood alongside Queen Camilla, visibly holding back tears.
The dazzling studs she wore are thought to be part of a brooch and earring set that once belonged to the late monarch.
This significant moment has sent a strong message to Meghan Markle, firing a warning shot in her direction.
Meghan is reportedly frustrated by her lack of access to the royal jewels, feeling left out of the family’s traditions.
Unlike Princess Catherine, who had the privilege of borrowing royal tiaras and gems, Meghan only possesses a replica of pearl and diamond earrings gifted to her by Queen Elizabeth.
The late Queen’s necklace, worn by the Princess of Wales, carries sentimental value and serves as a testament to the growing respect Her Majesty had for Catherine.
Over the years, it became evident that Queen Elizabeth believed Prince William made a wise choice in marrying Catherine, recognizing her as not only his rock but also an essential pillar of the monarchy.
As an outsider, Catherine brings a fresh perspective and a deep appreciation for tradition that Harry and Meghan seem to lack.
Meghan’s departure from the royal family has been met with criticism and accusations of entitlement.
It is a job where one cannot retain the perks after leaving.
She struggled to handle the responsibilities and ultimately failed to meet the expectations of being a working royal, actress, producer, or politician.
In contrast, Princess Kate continues to exemplify the qualities necessary for a successful royal role.
In another incident, Meghan Markle sparked fury among veterans with her choice of poppy ahead of Armistice Day.
While wearing a poppy is a sign of respect on Armistice Day in Great Britain and other countries, it holds no significance for Veterans Day in the United States.
During the opening of a new Navy fitness center in San Diego, California, Meghan wore a poppy brooch and a sweater, which drew the ire of some veterans.
Armistice Day, celebrated on November 11th, is widely recognized in countries like Great Britain.
Traditionally, a red poppy is worn to honor this occasion.
However, in the United States, November 11th is commemorated as Veterans Day, paying tribute to the armed forces, but wearing a poppy is not obligatory.
Americans often wear poppies on Memorial Day, observed in May.
Meghan’s decision to wear the poppy in November, aligning with the British custom, instead of in May for the American custom, left some veterans feeling disregarded.
