Queen Camilla attended the National Service of Remembrance at the Cenotaph in London on Sunday, joining senior royals for the formal event honoring the nation’s fallen troops. This ceremony is one of the most important annual occasions for the royal family.
Having missed last year’s event due to a chest infection, the Queen made her return in 2025. She wore a large black hat, a black dress, and pearl earrings. Following tradition, she pinned red poppies to her dress to commemorate the sacrifices of military personnel and civilians in past conflicts.
During November, the royal family wears crimson poppy pins as a symbol of remembrance. On the balcony above the Cenotaph, Queen Camilla was accompanied by the Princess of Wales. The two women were seen sharing a smile and exchanging words during the ceremony.
Other royals present on different balconies included Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, and Prince Edward, Duke of Kent. In his capacity as Commander in Chief of the armed forces, the King laid a wreath on behalf of the nation, accompanied by Prince Edward and Prince William.
Queen Camilla is also the Royal Patron of the Poppy Factory, which organizes the annual Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey.
Her presence and role highlight the enduring respect the royal family holds for those who served the country.
