Today the Prince and Princess of Wales paid tribute to those who lost their lives during the war at the 2023 Remembrance Sunday service.
Princess Kate stood on the balcony of the Foreign Office, overlooking the Cenotaph, where wreaths were laid by King Charles and Prince William. For the solemn occasion, the stylish royal stepped out in an ensemble that was equally as elegant as it was respectful.

Kate re-wore one of her go-to black military style coats from Catherine Walker. She paired it with a Philip Treacy hat, which she has also been seen wearing in 2006, 2012 and 2017, and the trio of poppies pin she has worn for four consecutive years. Throughout the years for this sombre event, she's worn various silhouettes from her go-to designers whilst adhering to the dress code, including Alexander McQueen and Catherine Walker, and a variety of hats and fascinators.

The sophisticated pairing proved her penchant for combining modernity with timelessness, all whilst staying wholly appropriate.
