Saturday November 9, Kate Middleton honored her promise to resume her official commitments after the end of her cancer treatment. The Princess of Wales, accompanied by her husband Prince William, attended the Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall in London. During this annual event, the British royal family pays tribute to soldiers who fell during wars.

When she arrived, Kate Middleton showed a radiant smile. Her husband, Prince William, had recently confided during the Earthshot Prize Awards in South Africa that his wife was doing “very well”. Respecting the protocol of this solemn ceremony, Kate Middleton appeared in a black dress, a symbol of sobriety, and wore the earrings that belonged to Lady Diana, a discreet but striking tribute to the late princess. Prince William, still at his wife's side, exchanged knowing glances with the spectators who came to greet them.

A jewel full of meaning

Kate Middleton's choice of jewelry did not fail to attract attention. In addition to Diana's earrings, she sported her famous 12-carat sapphire engagement ring, also inherited from Princess Diana. This jewel, which Kate Middleton did not wear during her last public appearance in July, recalls the importance of the royal heritage on this day of commemoration. Many Internet users noticed this symbolic return of the ring, especially since it had been absent from his hand when it appeared in Southport, following a tragedy which had left the region in mourning. Other members of the royal family were also present at the ceremony, including Princess Anne and her husband Timothy Laurence, as well as King Charles III. However, the absence of Queen Camilla Parker Bowles, recovering in Wiltshire after a lung infection, was noted.
