The Prince and Princess of Wales attended the Festival of Remembrance on Saturday evening.
The Festival commemorates all those who have lost their lives in conflicts and it is usually attended by the Royal Family. It is organized by the Royal British Legion and is held annually on the eve of Remembrance Sunday.
William and Kate joined King Charles, and other senior members of the Royal Family at London's Royal Albert Hall for the British Legion's traditional televised service.
Kate wore a black Alexander McQueen coatdress in a familiar silhouette for the solemn event.
I personally believe it's the box-pleat coatdress she wore to Queen Elizabeth's funeral, but with the tonal buttons replaced by gold ones.
The photos below show that the pleat detail at the back is similar. I find it hard to believe this would be a new coat, given that buttons are very easy to interchange. β
On her feet were the Jimmy Choo 'Romy 100' Pumps in Black Velvet.
Kate accessorised with the late Princess Diana's Collingwood Diamond & Pearl Drop Earrings, which she complemented with her Monica Vinader Vintage Chain Pearl Necklace.
Alongside her poppy, the Princess wore a pin of the Fleet Air Arm, of which she was appointed Commodore-in-Chief by King Charles last year.
