There are few times we see the Royal Family openly show as much emotion in public than they do at the National Service of Remembrance each November. Last year, Duchess Sophie was seen laying a comforting arm on the Princess of Wales's back as they turned to leave the central balcony at the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office afterwards.
She had originally been set to stand on the neighbouring balcony, but when Queen Camilla was forced to pull out of her appearance due to a chest infection, the arrangements were switched. This way, Kate wasn't left standing alone in what was her first official appearance since announcing she had completed cancer treatment.
