Why Princess Kate wore three poppies on Remembrance Sunday
Poppies are worn as a mark of respect to those who died during the First World War and other conflicts and on Sunday, the royal family were among the thousands of people who wore poppies during the Remembrance Service.
However, Princess Kate noticeably wore three, as has become her preference over the years – but what’s the significance behind it?
One theory is that the royals wear multiple brooches in honour of family members who have fought and died in wars.
Kate’s great-grandmother had three brothers who were killed in action during the First World War and the Princess viewed letters from her ancestors during a poignant visit to the Imperial War Museum in 2018.
