Catherine, Princess of Wales, wore a fittingly solemn expression during a Remembrance Sunday event over the weekend. That is, until she saw her husband, Prince William, in full military regalia.
The 44-year-old, commonly known as Kate Middleton, flashed an immediate smile as the Prince of Wales laid a wreath of poppies at the Cenotaph war memorial in London. Watching from a balcony, Catherine appeared to whisper something to Queen Camilla, her mother-in-law, during the ceremony.
In honor of veterans, King Charles III led a two-minute moment of silence after laying the first wreath at the memorial.
