Kate Middleton is gradually returning to her duties. On November 10, 2024, she participated, along with other members of the British monarchy, in the solemn Remembrance Day commemorations, which are held annually on the second Sunday of November in the United Kingdom.

The Duchess appeared in a simple outfit suitable for the occasion. As befits a member of the royal family, she did not forget an original headpiece. Wearing fascinators is a tradition in the British royal family.

Classic silhouettes and little works of art on the head

The fashion for fascinators, or decorative hats, reached Europe during the Renaissance thanks to trade cooperation with Africa. These unique headpieces owe their immense popularity to Marie Antoinette, a true fashion icon for women.

In England, the "craze" for fascinators continues to this day, with members of the British monarchy, including Kate Middleton, fans of this embellishment. At every possible opportunity, when the dress code mandates a classic outfit, Prince William's wife allows herself an intriguing fascinator that slightly breaks the simplicity of the ensemble.

Duchess Kate all in black

During the solemn Remembrance Day ceremonies, in accordance with the prevailing rules, Duchess Kate appeared all in black, with a brooch shaped like three connected symbolic poppies attached to her coat.

In the subdued outfit, the only element that stood out was the headpiece. Kate Middleton chose a small pillbox-shaped accessory, adorned with a lace veil and artificial black flowers.
