Kate's touching tributes: All the quiet nods the Princess made to late royals, including Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, during Remembrance weekend

The Princess of Wales honoured the memory of two of the Royal Family's most influential women - the late Queen and Princess Diana - with her Remembrance outfits over the weekend.Catherine, 44, is renowned for her impeccable fashion sense, but it's the thoughtful details that set her style apart. A key aspect of her elegance lies in her carefully chosen jewellery, often selected for its deep personal and historical significance.On Remembrance Sunday, she continued this tradition, wearing a black coat paired with her late mother-in-law's Collingwood Pearl Drop Earrings.The sparklers were a gift to Diana from London-based Collingwood ahead of her wedding to then-Prince Charles in 1981. They feature a diamond setting from which a large, luminescent pearl is suspended.The previous evening, at the Festival of Remembrance, Kate paid thoughtful tribute to Elizabeth II by wearing her 'Orbital' pendant earrings after inheriting them in 2016.For the occasion, the princess repurposed a black, polka-dot Alessandra Rich silk midi dress, which she accessorised with a handmade poppy brooch from Izzy Ager of Lock & Co.However, Kate made a number of modifications to the drop-waist frock that she last wore to the Service of Thanksgiving for Prince Philip in 2022, including removing the decorative silver buttons on the shoulder.

Kate finished the look with the late Queen's prized diamond 'Orbital' or 'Frame' pendant earrings, which she passed down to Prince William's wife 10 years ago. The design features a floral diamond cluster and a cascade of four diamonds enclosed in a shimmering frame. Little is known about their origins, but Elizabeth II was fond of the glittering jewels and wore them several times during her 70-year reign, including at the State Opening of Parliament in 2012. After inheriting the late monarch's earrings, Kate has saved them for special occasions, including wearing them for her 40th birthday portraits in 2022 and Princess Eugenie's wedding to Jack Brooksbank in 2018. She finished her look with black slingback heels, also from Alessandra Rich, a Jimmy Choo clutch and her Irish Guards Regimental Brooch. The following morning, Kate joined senior royals in paying tribute to Britain's fallen heroes as King Charles and Prince William led the nation in an emotional memorial service at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday. Standing alongside Queen Camilla as they watched the ceremony from the balcony, Kate also paid homage to Prince William's late mother by wearing Diana's Collingwood Pearl Drop earrings. The earrings were originally a wedding gift from Collingwood, a trusted jeweller to the Spencer family, to Diana. She began wearing them several weeks before her marriage to Prince Charles, and they quickly became one of her signature pieces.The design is striking in its simplicity: a round diamond stud suspends a smaller diamond and a bell cap set with three rows of delicate diamonds, encasing a luminous pearl drop.

She is seen here at the late Duke of Edinburgh's memorial service at Westminster Abbey on March 29, 2022Since debuting the earrings at a state banquet in 2017, Kate has worn them on numerous occasions, including with the iconic Lover's Knot Tiara - another of Diana's favourites.Kate also donned Diana's jewels for last year's memorial service, as she frequently honours the Royal Family's legacy through her accessories. This year, she debuted a bespoke black coat by one of her favourite designers, Catherine Walker, for the service. She paired it with a wide-brimmed hat from Jane Taylor Millinery, a trifecta of poppies pinned to the coat alongside her HMS Glasgow Brooch, created by Glaswegian jewellers, James Porter & Son, to mark Kate's role as sponsor of the Royal Navy vessel. The design includes the ship's crest, the Scottish thistle and a depiction of St Kentigern, the city's patron saint. It is not known why the royals wear three poppies on Remembrance Sunday, but there are several poignant theories about the reason for this choice. One suggestion is that the three poppies symbolise the three branches of the military: the British Army, the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force.It has also been said that Princess Kate wears them as a tribute to her three great-uncles, all brothers of her great-grandmother, who died during the First World War.Another possibility is that they wear the trio of poppies for maximum visibility for the television audience and the watching public.Both Camilla and Kate, who watched the ceremony from the balconies of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, as well as the Duchess of Edinburgh, had three poppies fastened to their coats for this year's service.

His wreath closely resembled one produced for King George VI, with 41 paper poppy petals mounted on an arrangement of black leaves.William, wearing the uniform of a Lieutenant Colonel of the Household Cavalry with black cloak and sword, also saluted after laying his wreath.The Prince of Wales, who in 2013 completed seven and a half years of full-time operational military service, promotes the roles and welfare of current and former service personnel as a key part of his work.The Prince was followed by wreaths being laid by the Duke of Edinburgh – Prince Edward – and the Princess Royal. Meanwhile, the King's younger son, Prince Harry, was spotted quietly attending a memorial service in Brackley, Northamptonshire, after returning to the UK with wife, Meghan Markle, and their children in August. The senior royals, as well as a host of politicians past and present, laid wreaths at the Cenotaph before an impeccably observed silence and a stirring rendition of the Last Post.But Harry – who returned to the UK this year after six years in California – was nowhere to be seen in central London and was instead commemorating the day in a low-key manner.Photos showed Harry alongside locals in the market town while wearing his military medals and a poppy. An onlooker said: 'He was at the memorial service – he was stood next to the pub.'He was stood there watching and then afterwards he went into the market and started shaking everyone's hand.'He was there for the whole service – we were there for 20 or 30 minutes, and he was there before us. He just wanted to show some respect.'It is a shame. At the end of the day he's served so why can't he show his respects.'Prince Harry served in the military for more than ten years and rose to the rank of Captain, undertaking two tours of Afghanistan during his service.
