Prince George, looking dapper in a black suit and striped navy, white, and red tie, made a surprising and touching debut alongside his mother, the Princess of Wales, at the Royal British Legion’s Festival of Remembrance. This was the young prince’s first time at the historic event, which honored the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II and those who have lost their lives in conflict. The event took place on November 8, 2025, while his father, Prince William, was on a royal journey in Brazil. The 12-year-old, second in line to the throne, has been quietly accompanying his parents on recent engagements. In May, he joined them at a veterans tea party at Buckingham Palace, marking the 80th anniversary of VE Day.
The Princess of Wales, who is known for shopping her own wardrobe and rewearing her favorite pieces, showcased a new look. She wore a black satin midi dress by Alessandra Rich, featuring a peplum waist and a frilly, angular white collar with a bow. Her accessories included Bahrain pearl drop earrings, a James Porter & Son Scottish silver thistle brooch, and a Mulberry Bayswater black suede clutch. George’s outfit was in line with his father’s sharp suiting style.
The Princess’s fashion choices also paid homage to Princess Diana, particularly her love for prairie-esque collars. Her earrings, once belonging to the late Queen Elizabeth II, were a wedding gift from the Hakim of Bahrain in 1947. They were often worn by the Queen to galas and royal occasions and were also loaned to Princess Diana. The Princess also wore her sapphire engagement ring, which once belonged to Diana.
Kate Middleton has been active in her royal duties, visiting Northern Ireland with Prince William, a children’s development center in Oxford, and the Royal Air Force. She has also hosted the Trumps and kept to her well-established fall style with olive green, country-traversing boots, and power suiting. The mother and son duo’s appearance at the Festival of Remembrance was a poignant moment, and we can expect to see more of them on the royal calendar in the coming months.
