When you’ve been a prominent royal for as long as the Princess of Wales has, there are very few firsts still left to be done. But today (11 November 2025) marked Kate Middleton’s first appearance at the Armistice Day Service of Remembrance at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire.
To mark the poignant day, she joined other attendees in the two-minute silence at 11am, before then laying a wreath on behalf of the Royal Family. "In memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice, we will remember them. Catherine,” a handwritten note pinned to the wreath read.
