Kate Middleton paid tribute to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, during today’s Remembrance Sunday service. The Princess of Wales stepped out with her husband, Prince William, and other senior members of the Royal Family at the Cenotaph in London to pay respect to those who lost their lives in war.

Kate, who has never missed a Remembrance Sunday since her marriage to William in 2011, looked ever the sophisticated future Queen in a fitted coat dress, lace navy scarf, and a sculpted hat. The 43-year-old accessorised with a pair of Collingwood Pearl Earrings, which once belonged to William’s mother, Diana. The late princess was gifted the earrings in 1981 to mark her engagement to the then Prince Charles.

The subtle nod to her mother-in-law was a sweet gesture to make on a day like today — evidence that Kate was also remembering Princess Diana and keeping her spirit alive. Alongside the sentimental earrings, Kate also wore a silver brooch and a silk poppy, in keeping with her elegant style.

Hair and makeup-wise, the mother-of-three kept things natural, opting for a subtle smoky eye, a touch of blush, and a peach lip. She wore her signature brunette locks — which have been dyed a darker shade following her blonde stint earlier this year — in neat mermaid waves that cascaded down her back.

Kate’s public appearance comes not long after her family moved to their “forever” home. The royal couple swapped Adelaide Cottage in Windsor for the larger Forest Lodge, a Grade II listed Georgian mansion in Windsor Great Park, with their three children, Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, seven.

A source told Daily Mail that Forest Lodge is for the “long term,” and that it’s the family’s “intention” to stay there once William becomes King. Another insider added: “It’s a fresh start for them after three really tough years. They are looking forward to creating many happy memories in their new home and leaving some of the unhappier ones behind.”
