Queen Camilla modelled a poppy brooch during her recent Caribbean royal tour, reminding fans of Kate Middleton. The Queen joined King Charles for the last leg of their important Caribbean tour in Antigua and Barbuda. Interestingly, royal fans noticed that Camilla honoured her daughter-in-law by wearing the same brooch Middleton had worn in 2018.
Poppy brooch Kate Middleton wore in 2018 reappears on Camilla
Queen Camilla reportedly wore the same poppy brooch that Kate Middleton wore back in 2018. Charles and Camilla’s Caribbean tour also coincided with Remembrance Month. The final stretch of the tour coincided with the UK’s Remembrance period, which honours members of the Armed Forces who lost their lives in service. Throughout the weeks leading up to Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day, members of the royal family traditionally wear red poppies as a symbol of remembrance and respect (via The Royal Observer).
This week, Camilla wore a gold-plated poppy brooch that the Princess of Wales had modelled during a 2018 visit to the Imperial War Museum in London. The Queen Consort paired the striking brooch with a long-sleeved blue and white dress. On the other hand, the future queen paired it with her dark blue dress.
The crystal-adorned brooch was made by The Royal British Legion in 2018. The charity supports British Armed Forces personnel and their families. At the time, the brooch reportedly cost $40. Notably, Charles also wore a red brooch of a different design during the final leg of their tour in Antigua and Barbuda.
Charles and Camilla are expected to join senior members of the royal family for Remembrance Sunday on November 8 at the Cenotaph in London. The annual ceremony honours members of the Armed Forces who lost their lives in service. Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly not expected to join the family, although their attendance has not been officially confirmed.
Fans lavished praise on Charles and Camilla. One user commented: “Both are looking very tropical and relaxed. This has been a very successful tour for them.” A second user wrote: “I simply adore this look for them both. Relaxed, but also incredibly appropriate and respectful. The dress in particular is becoming with its neckline and hem. Truly a lovely choice for them both.”
