Re: Queen leads Remembrance Day Sunday observance at Cenotaph

I just ordered the Women of the First World War poppy brooch that Kate always wears. I've been wanting one since she started wearing it, I think it's so beautiful and meaningful.

 

The Royal British Legion has a USA poppy shop. Pin is $35, $7 shipping by priority mail.

Meghan's hat looks so pretty on her


I agree, the size and shape frames her face so beautifully. She and Kate wear hats so well.

In line with royal tradition, Meghan, right, and Kate were pictured on separate balconies, with Kate joining the Queen, 93, left, and Duchess of Cornwall, 72, on the main balcony. Far right: Tim Laurence, husband of Princess Anne

I think Meghan's hat looks like a hat to keep off rain. I dont think its shape is dressy enough for the occasion. I love Camilla's hat with the swirled feathers (and I rarely like her hats).

On a very superficial note Kate's hairstyle is so beautiful and so is the Queen's ensemble. Love that amazing diamond bow brooch with the poppies.

Such a sweet picture.  Kate looks like she is comforting the Queen.  In another photo it looks like she is being sweet to the Queen and Camilla is giving her a look that seems to be saying "Good for you" for the kind word.

 

Kate really seems to be a genuinely nice and thoughtful person.  I'll bet she can be tough too when she needs to, but basically someone who is aware of and cares about others.

 

Plus she is beautiful. Great combination!

Wow, she really looks tiny standing between the other ladies.

Beautiful pin and such a meaningful purchase! Wear it well.

How does Kate get her hair so intricately styled? It looks like a braid and a bun and a chignon all at the same time. Absolutely beautiful. I suspect there is a hair net and bobby pins involved, but you can't see any of them.

I'm with @Pearlee on this one...Camilla's hat with the feathers is stunning.

@Greeneyedlady21  A wonderful choice. I noticed it for the first time the other day and thought how lovely it was, on several levels...
