Prince William was spotted wearing his ‘special’ tie at the Festival of Remembrance on Saturday (November 9).
The Prince of Wales was accompanied by his wife, Princess Kate, as they joined senior members of the Royal Family at the Royal Albert Hall.
The annual Royal British Legion event is dedicated to all those who have served and given their lives in the service of their country. This was the first part of his public engagements.
William looked dapper as he donned a dapper navy blue suit. Placed perfectly was his striking red and black tie which caught the watchful eye of onlookers.
Every year he pulls out the accessory from his wardrobe and decides to wear it. The father-of-three consistently sports this tie for the poignant ceremony because it is the regimental tie of the Household Division.
He has a strong affiliation with the Armed Forces, having served in the Army as a Platoon Commander in The Blues and Royals before completing flying training in the Royal Air Force. And year in year out he uses it tto symbolise a mark of respect which is a sweet touching tribute.
His Royal Highness served as an RAF Search and Rescue pilot, spending three years at RAF Valley in Anglesey, Wales – where he lived with Princess Kate and their young family.
Kate wore an all-black outfit and a poppy pinned a single poppy to her dress for the solemn event.
She accessorised with matching pearl earrings and a necklace that belonged to the late Princess Diana. Her hair was perfectly curled and she channelled Hollywood glam.
The King, who became Patron of the Royal British Legion earlier this year, was also joined by the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Princess Anne and her husband Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and the Duke of Kent.
On Sunday (November 10) the King, 75, led the nation in a two-minute silence on Remembrance Sunday.
It was to commemorate those who have died in conflict on Sunday morning. However, Queen Camilla was unable to attend as she was forced to recover at home following a chest infection.
