Catherine and Camilla Choose Black for Remembrance Sunday Ceremony in London

At the Remembrance Sunday ceremony in London, Britain's national day of remembrance, Catherine, described in the source as the future queen, and Camilla watched proceedings from a balcony. Both royal women had chosen black outfits, but it was Catherine's look and jewellery that drew the most attention.

Remembrance Sunday is one of the most significant commemorative occasions in Britain. On this day the red poppy symbolises respect, gratitude and remembrance for those who did not return from war. During the ceremony, veterans and representatives of military organisations gathered in the streets of London.

Catherine's outfit

Catherine wore an elegant black double-breasted coat with a velvet collar, made by British designer Catherine Walker. The look was completed with a hat, and her hair was gathered in a knot.

Jewellery with meaning

The princess wore pearl and diamond earrings that once belonged to Princess Diana. They were given to her before her 1981 wedding to the then Prince Charles. Three red poppies, the traditional symbol of remembrance, were pinned to the coat. She also wore an HMS Glasgow brooch, which reflects Catherine's connection to the Royal Navy, as she is the ship's godmother.

Camilla's choice

Camilla had chosen a black coat and hat. The two women stood side by side on the balcony and watched the ceremony.
