Your Thoughts: Remembrance Day 2019

Today is Remembrance Day in the U.K., with the royal family attending the service at the Cenotaph, honoring those who have lost their lives in conflict. Prince Charles lays a wreath on behalf of the Queen, with Princes William and Harry joining him, as the royal women watch from one of the balconies overhead. The balcony groupings are made by order of seniority: the Duchess of Cambridge is with Her Majesty and the Duchess of Cornwall (above), while the Duchess of Sussex is with the Countess of Wessex (scroll down for that shot). You can read more about today’s events in this Town & Country report.

Outfit details are often hard to come by on this somber occasion; the Palace does not release designer details and the pieces worn are often bespoke.

What do you think of what the Duchesses are wearing? Let’s discuss in the comments!

UPDATE: I’ve added the previous evening’s look from Festival of Remembrance below.
