Many of the royals turned out today in London to mark the end of the Afghanistan War and honor the 453 British men and women who gave their lives in the war. The tribute was held at St. Paul’s Cathedral. Prince Harry – who served two tours of duty in Afghanistan – was there to honor the moment. The Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Countess of Wessex, the Duchess of Cornwall and the Prince of Wales were all in attendance too. And of course Duchess Kate and Prince William came out. This is the first event William and Kate have done together all year!!!

The men wore their military regalia for the tribute. Kate coordinated really well with William – Kate wore this navy coat by Belulah London. It’s the “Chiara” coat. She pulled her hair back into a very pretty off-center messy bun, which went well with the off-center navy hat, likely by Jane Corbett. She accessorized with some new sapphire jewelry too – I don’t think I’ve ever seen those earrings on Kate before. This coat is super-flattering, right? Initially, I kept seeing photos of Kate from behind and she didn’t look pregnant at all. It’s all about the high-waisted cut on the coat and excellent tailoring.

I’m also including photos of some of the other royals – the Queen wore a vibrant blue and, as always, the Queen’s brooch game is everything. The Countess of Wessex was the one who seemed… I don’t know, too fashion-platey for this event. Camilla looked fine, I would have traded her boots for a simple pair of heels though.
