The Princess of Wales chose a pair of earrings from Queen Elizabeth\u2019s collection, the late monarch\u2019s diamond \u201cOrbital\u201d pendant earrings (also called her \u201cFrame\u201d earrings).<\/p>\n

Queen Elizabeth wore the earrings just a handful of times during her lifetime, including to the State Opening of Parliament in 2012. Their provenance has never been publicly shared. Kate wore the jewels for the first time in 2016, and has chosen them on a few significant occasions since, including her 40th birthday portraits<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This evening, the Princess of Wales completed her outfit with a crimson poppy<\/a> pin, as all royals wear during the month of November, and a brooch next to the poppy. In past years, she has worn a three poppy pin\u2014which could represent the fact that her great-grandmother had three brothers who died in action during World War I\u2014but this year, she chose to wear just one.<\/p>\n

According to Buckingham Palace, \u201cAt the heart of this year\u2019s Festival is the theme of Places of Remembrance, exploring how the places we associate with those we have lost can hold profound personal meaning. From national memorials and familiar landmarks to gardens, football pitches and quiet corners of everyday life, people from across the UK will share the places where they remember and feel close to loved ones who are no longer with them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kate has attended the Festival of Remembrance event every year since 2015<\/a>; last year, Prince George was by her side instead of Prince William<\/a> (the Prince of Wales had just returned from his Earthshot Prize in Brazil). This evening marks Kate\u2019s first public appearance in November. She last stepped out in late October to visit Treehouse Children\u2019s Hospice<\/a>. Earlier in the week, Prince William took Prince George to a soccer game<\/a> in Barcelona.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow, the Waleses and the rest of royal family will step out again for Remembrance Sunday<\/a>, the national memorial service at The Cenotaph in London; Kate has never missed a Remembrance Sunday.<\/p>\n
