Why do Kate and Camilla wear more than one poppy? The poignant reasons behind their Remembrance Day symbols

Queen Camilla and Catherine, Princess of Wales attend the Remembrance Sunday ceremony at the Cenotaph.

Poppies are a symbol of remembrance and leading up to Remembrance Day on 11th, the Royal Family aren't seen in public without one. At the National Service of Remembrance, though, we often see the Princess of Wales and Queen Camilla with multiple poppies worn on the left side of their respectful black outfits.

The Royal Family have never publicly confirmed the reason for this, though over the years several prominent theories have emerged. All are possible, but one of them stands out to me, as it would explain why so many royals often opt for three poppies.
