To mark Remembrance Sunday, Queen Elizabeth II led tributes at the Cenotaph in London this morning. The day honors members of the armed forces who have died while in service to the country.

The Queen usually uses one of her diamond bow brooches to gather a bouquet of paper poppies for the ceremony in Whitehall. This year, she selected one of Queen Victoria’s Bow Brooches.

As is tradition, the royal women who weren’t laying wreaths at the Cenotaph watched the ceremonies from a balcony above.

The Duchess of Cornwall wore her diamond and pearl earrings and her pearl choker with the shield-shaped diamond clasp. She gathered her poppies with the cap badge of the 12th Royal Lancers. Her late father, Major Bruce Shand, commanded part of the regiment in World War II.

The Duchess of Cambridge kept her jewelry minimal: just a pair of pearl and diamond earrings. We’ve not seen these on Kate in public before. They look virtually identical to the Queen’s Bahrain Pearl Earrings, which were made using pearls given to Elizabeth as a wedding present from that nation. If so, these are almost certainly on loan from the Queen (like the other pearls she’s been wearing recently), but I don’t believe we have palace confirmation yet.

The Countess of Wessex’s earrings are by Dior; they look like pearls, but they’re actually made of resin beads. She also wore a Buckley London poppy brooch and, most significantly, the cap badge of The Rifles. Sophie is Royal Colonel of the regiment’s 5th Battalion.

The British royal family gathered last night at the Royal Albert Hall for the annual Festival of Remembrance, an evening of performances to remember and honor the sacrifices of the nation’s military service members. Here’s a look at the jewels they wore, which were in line with the solemn nature of the event.

The Queen secured her poppy with a newer brooch from her collection: the Bronte Porcelain Brooch, which she wore for the first time in Northern Ireland in 2014.

The Duchess of Cornwall chose her standard jewels: one of her pearl choker necklaces with a diamond clasp, and her pearl and diamond earrings.

The Duchess of Cambridge’s jewelry was difficult to see, but you just get a hint of one of her crystal Buckley London poppy brooches here. Kate also wore pearl earrings (Anna posits the new Oscar de la Renta faux pair).

The Princess Royal was one of the most elegant women in attendance, wearing pearl drop earrings, a multi-stranded pearl necklace, and her diamond star brooch, which secured a gathering of poppies.

Here, you get a better look at her necklace, plus her other jewels.

Once she removed her coat, we could see that she also wore a poppy brooch from Buckley London and the badge of the Corps of Army Music (CAMUS). Sophie is their Colonel-in-Chief.

We got a great look at Princess Alexandra’s jewelry, including diamond daisy earrings, her pearl choker with the geometric clasp, and her diamond floral brooch.

And there was one more Kent lady in attendance: Princess Michael, who secured her poppy with a sparkling brooch.
