Princess Catherine’s personal reason for wearing three poppy pins instead of one

Princess Catherine's personal reason for wearing three poppy pins instead of one

As a devoted fan, I find myself constantly in awe of the profound respect and dedication that Catherine, the Princess of Wales, shows towards her family history and the nation she serves. The way she honors her great-grandmother’s fallen brothers, by wearing three poppy pins during the Service of Remembrance, is not just a fashion statement, but a heartfelt tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Over the past weekend, Catherine Middleton, also known as the Princess of Wales, chose to wear not one, but three poppy pins during the Service of Remembrance. While traditionally, members of the Royal Family don just a single poppy pin, this time, Catherine decided to break ranks. Her reason? She wished to pay tribute to her great-grandmother’s brothers who lost their lives in World War I.

In 2018, Princess Catherine discovered details about her great-grandmother’s brothers by perusing letters written by them at the Imperial War Museum. Interestingly, prior to this visit, she had already worn poppy pins on formal occasions as early as before 2018, and has adorned these pins with the Royal British Legion crystal flower since 2020.

An article discussed how poppy pins, dating back to 1921, have been utilized as a means of honoring military personnel who paid the highest price while defending their nation. It is believed that this symbol finds its roots in the language employed in John McCrae’s poignant poem “In Flanders Fields”.

Accompanied by one of her customary accessories, Princess Catherine donned a coatdress designed by Catherine Walker – a favorite and personal friend of the late Princess Diana. During the Festival of Remembrance, she chose Collingwood pearl earrings to pay tribute to her deceased mother-in-law. On Remembrance Sunday, she wore Bahrain Pearl Drop earrings that had been given to her by Queen Elizabeth.

Over the trendy weekend, one of the most bustling periods since Princess Catherine re-entered public life occurred. After completing a preventative course of chemotherapy, the Princess of Wales has taken extra care to avoid overexertion as she adapts to her new work routine.

It’s said that Princess Kate is likely to show up at her yearly Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey. On September 9, a touching video was shared by the Royal family, where Kate spoke about her commitment to remaining cancer-free and fulfilling her promises to the fullest extent possible.
