This year this Festival of Remembrance will take place on November 9th at Royal Albert Hall. Honoring the fallen soldiers who served and sacrificed for Britain and the Commonwealth, the tribute is a solemn and special occasion.
Princess Kate along with the rest of the royal family attend the annual British Legion festival to honor those who have lost their lives in wartime. For the event, Kate almost always wears black in a sartorial statement of mourning for the fallen military personnel. On one occasion in November 2019, the princess has worn navy.
Here is a look at Every Outfit Kate Middleton has Worn at the Festival of Remembrance:
2015
In 2015, the princess wore a lace cocktail dress from Dolce & Gabbana. Designed in Italy, the sleek sheath has cordonetto lace across the bust along with a scallop trim.
2016
In November 2016, the princess wore a Temperley London Callas Evening Coat designed with a floral diamond jacquard fabric. The luxurious topper is crafted from wool and polyester and lined with silk.
2017
For the annual ceremony to commemorate those who have lost their lives in wartime conflicts on November 11, 2017 in London — the princess stepped out in a black velvet Catherine Walker coat. The bespoke topper is crafted from velvet and finished with large decorative Swarovski buttons made of jet, glass and silver.
