The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate, was visibly moved during today’s National Service of Remembrance.<\/p>\n

Standing proudly on one of the balconies of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, she closed her eyes and tightly pressed her lips together.<\/p>\n

Kate appeared to be deeply affected by the solemn occasion.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the day, Kate emerged from Kensington Palace wearing an elegant black militarist-style jacket.<\/p>\n

The jacket featured red shoulder lapels and a high-neck white collar, exuding a sense of dignity and respect.<\/p>\n

Alongside other senior royals, government officials, and members of the armed forces, Kate observed a moment of silence lasting two minutes.<\/p>\n

Traditionally, Kate should have stood alongside both the Queen and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, in accordance with the royal pecking order.<\/p>\n

However, due to unforeseen circumstances, the Duchess found herself at the center stage on the balcony.<\/p>\n

She stood between Camilla and Sophie, Countess of Wessex, as the Queen, unfortunately, had to withdraw from the event due to a back injury.<\/p>\n

Buckingham Palace released a statement earlier in the day, expressing regret that the Queen would be unable to attend the Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph.<\/p>\n

The statement explained that Her Majesty had sprained her back and was disappointed to miss the service.<\/p>\n

Last year, Kate and Camilla stood together on the balcony, positioned two meters apart, as Remembrance Sunday coincided with the second national lockdown.<\/p>\n

In contrast, the Queen stood alone, accompanied only by a lady-in-waiting.<\/p>\n

This year, however, circumstances were different, and Kate took a more prominent role on the balcony.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
