It comes minutes after Buckingham Palace announced the Princess of Wales’s attendance at two major events this weekend.

On Saturday, Princess Kate will head to the Royal Albert Hall to attend the Festival of Remembrance, a stunning and poignant concert paying tribute every year to those who gave their lives to keep Britain safe.

The following day, she will head to the Cenotaph, to attend the Remembrance Sunday service, the palace confirmed.

On both occasions, Kate will be joined by Prince William – although the Prince of Wales is expected to play a more active role during the service on Sunday, with his wife instead attending the sombre ceremony from one of the Foreign Office’s balconies overlooking the Cenotaph.

On Sunday, the heir to the throne will lay the wreath previously laid by King Charles as the former Prince of Wales, featuring The Prince of Wales’s feathers. The wreath bears a new ribbon in Welsh red.
