Meghan Markle Wears Stella McCartney to Her First Festival of Remembrance
Fresh off of a two-week royal tour in Oceania, Meghan Markle isn't showing any signs of slowing down. She is, however, trading in her breezy summer dresses for more winter-appropriate fare.
Markle (and her husband, Prince Harry) are also back alongside the larger royal family. The Duchess made an appearance at Saturday night's Festival of Remembrance, with Prince Harry and several other royals. She wore a belted black Stella McCartney coat for the important occasion. She accessorized the look with black heels, a small black clutch, and a small poppy pin.
When she took her place in the royal box, she removed her jacket, revealing a black dress with an open neckline.
Although most of the programming consisted of performers and musicians, the Festival still took on a somber tone. It was planned to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I, which was underscored with the Central Band of the Royal Air Force and the Band of the Royal Marines onstage.
The royal family began celebrating WWI's centennial on Thursday, when Prince Harry officially opened the Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey. Family members of fallen servicemen and women plant crosses in the field annually, but with this year's anniversary, it's particularly meaningful.
Tomorrow, the royals will conclude their WWI centennial events. They'll attend a first service together at The Cenotaph, after which they'll go in different directions for smaller commemorations. Then at night, they'll reunite for a final service at Westminster Abbey to mark the Centenary of the Armistice.
