Kate’s most recent look for Remembrance Sunday was full of repetitions: the bespoke Catherine Walker coat she wore in 2019 and the Philip Treacy hat she first wore in 2006 to Prince William’s Sandhurst event (and then again at Remembrance Galas in 2012 and 2017). She wore Queen Elizabeth’s diamond and pearl leaf earrings, and her typical three-poppy brooch.

Kate’s outfits for the National Remembrance Service in 2017 were in line with previous years, but it was her hair that was the big change: instead of an updo or slicked back, she pinned it up to create the illusion of a bob under her hat. She wore a Dolce & Gabbana coat with gold buttons, Oscar de la Renta earrings, and a Philip Treacy hat, which she first wore while dating Prince William in 2006.
For the third time at Sunday’s Mass, Kate wore a Diane von Furstenberg coat (she wore it in 2011 and 2012, scroll down). She accessorized with three poppies, a John Boyd hat, and diamond and pearl earrings.

Kate wore an Alexander McQueen jacket in 2014, coinciding with Sophie, then Countess of Wessex, who wore the same coat.

The Duchess decorated it with an anemone brooch that resembles a poppy flower. Mabin & Webb Diamond NecklacePrincess Diana’s ruby and diamond earrings.
The Duchess of Cambridge changed her outfit for Remembrance Sunday for the first time in 2013, wearing a Temperley London coat instead of the Diane Von Furstenberg coat she had worn for the previous two years.
