Britain's Catherine, Princess of Wales, participated in the Remembrance Sunday ceremony at the Cenotaph on Whitehall in central London on November 10. Remembrance Sunday is an annual event held on the Sunday closest to Armistice Day, November 11, which marks the end of World War I. Services across Commonwealth countries honor servicemen and women who have died in the line of duty since WWI.
Princess Kate attended the Remembrance Sunday ceremony in London, marking her second public appearance in two days as she gradually resumes public duties following her cancer treatment. She observed from a government building balcony as members of the royal family, including King Charles, and politicians laid wreaths at the Cenotaph war memorial in central London. The Princess of Wales donned a black hat and jacket adorned with red poppies, a symbol of respect for those who have perished in conflict.
On Saturday, she was present at the Festival of Remembrance at London's Royal Albert Hall. In September, Kate announced she had completed chemotherapy, but acknowledged that her full recovery would be a lengthy process. At the time, the 42-year-old stated she would undertake a few public engagements later in the year.
Prior to this weekend's events, her last public appearance was in October when she met with the bereaved families of three young girls who were murdered at a dance class in northwest England. The ceremony at the Cenotaph war memorial is held on the nearest Sunday to November 11 to commemorate the end of World War I and to honor those who lost their lives in conflict.
Kate's husband, William, who is heir to the throne, mentioned during a visit to South Africa last week that the past year had likely been the "hardest" of his life, following the cancer diagnoses of both Kate and his father, Charles.
