Princess of Wales lays wreath at Anzac service

Kate represented King Charles III and joined Westminster Abbey services honoring Australians and New Zealanders, with 100,000 lives lost in the Gallipoli campaign, officials said.

  • On April 25, Catherine, Princess of Wales, observed ANZAC Day commemorations by laying a wreath at the Cenotaph in London on behalf of King Charles III.
  • The service honors Australians and New Zealanders who have lost their lives in conflict; Princess Anne attended a separate commemoration at Wellington Arch, Hyde Park Corner, while the Princess represented the royal family at the Cenotaph.
  • For the somber occasion, the Princess wore a custom navy coat dress by Alexander McQueen with strong shoulders and white lapels, paired with a bespoke Jane Taylor London fascinator hat and a DeMellier Nano Montreal bag.
  • The Princess accessorized with sapphire drop earrings formerly belonging to Princess Diana and a coordinating tanzanite pendant necklace believed to be a gift from Prince William, which she first debuted at a 2015 service marking 13 years of operations in Afghanistan.
  • Having previously attended the ANZAC Day commemorations twice before, this event marked the Princess's first solo appearance, continuing the tradition of honoring those who have served in the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.
