Kate, 39, has experimented with different head-toppers since her debut at the Remembrance Sunday in 2011. She’s mostly worn fascinators for the occasion, sometimes featuring netting covering part of her face, but wore larger hats in both 2016 and 2017.

All of the royals sported poppy pins, the artificial flower that has been used since 1921 to commemorate military members who have died in war.
In Flanders fields the poppies blowBetween the crosses, row on row,That mark our place; and in the skyThe larks, still bravely singing, flyScarce heard amid the guns below.
The tradition of wearing a poppy has been adopted across the U.K. and the countries of the Commonwealth. It is especially poignant on Armistice Day on November 11 to remember the sacrifices of military members.
According to the Royal British Legion, who produces poppies in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, “There is no right or wrong way to wear a poppy. It is a matter of personal choice whether an individual chooses to wear a poppy and also how they choose to wear it. The best way to wear a poppy is to wear it with pride.”
