Kate Middleton’s ‘emotional’ Remembrance Day appearance with King Charles sparks reaction – royal news live
An emotional Princess of Wales completed a milestone in her return to duties on Sunday, as she joined other members of the royal family at the Cenotaph.
The appearance marks the first time Kate has carried out commitments on two consecutive days since she was diagnosed with cancer at the beginning of the year.
King Charles laid the first wreath in recognition of the fallen from conflicts dating back to the First World War. Kate viewed the Remembrance Sunday service from a government building balcony overlooking the Cenotaph.
Dressed in black, Kate wore a netted hat with her hair in a twisted chignon and a military-style coat featuring black epaulettes, which was embellished at the neck with a black velvet bow.
Body language experts said the princess’s emotional appearance seemed “sombre yet stoic”.
Expert Judi James told MailOnline: “Kate’s body language and even her styling today showed a return to what looked like full regal form.
“Her facial expression became sombre once we heard the chimes of Big Ben and there was a more contained version of her clearly emotional signalling that we saw at the concert the evening before.”
