Catherine, Princess of Wales, represented King Charles III at the Westminster Abbey service, laying a wreath at the Cenotaph and debuting a bespoke Jane Taylor London hat.
She paired her signature tanzanite pendant with Princess Diana's sapphire earrings, honoring her late mother-in-law, and wore a custom Givenchy navy coat for the occasion.
The service commemorates Australians and New Zealanders lost in conflict. Princess Anne led separate commemorations at Wellington Arch, while King Charles and Queen Camilla prepared for a US state visit.
