Why Kate Middleton wore three poppies to emotional Remembrance Day ceremony

The Princess of Wales stood alongside the Queen Consort at today's moving Remembrance Day service at the Cenotaph in Whitehall to pay tribute to the war dead. While Kate looked incredibly elegant as she watched from the balcony of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, many fans questioned why she was wearing three poppies.

Unlike King Charles and other members of the Royal Family who wore one simple poppy on their uniforms, Camilla and Kate both added several of the flowers and a diamond brooch to their outfits to pay tribute to those who lost their lives in the World Wars and other conflicts.

Despite never being confirmed by the palace, one theory is that the royals wear multiple brooches in honour of family members who have fought and died in wars.
