Kate and William Attend Festival of Remembrance Without Meghan and Harry

The Prince and Princess of Wales, and Kate, joined other full-time working members of the firm for this year's Festival of Remembrance.

However, what's interesting is that there was no sign of Meghan or Harry at the event.

The couple is busy with the award they paid $1 million for, and Catherine had blocked them by not sending invitations.

This seems to have closed all doors for Harry and Meg.

At the event, Kate and William donned outfits that seemed to mock Harry and Meghan.

Kate looked stunning in a gorgeous black self-portrait gown, with three poppies pinned to her collar.

In a special nod to the late monarch, she also paired her outfit with the same diamond necklace and earrings she wore to the Queen's State Funeral last month.

Meanwhile, William opted for a navy suit and a striped red and navy tie with his military medals pinned to the breast of his jacket.

The Festival of Remembrance is a poignant and spectacular event that commemorates the service and sacrifice of people who fought in conflict since World War I.

It also marks the 40th anniversary of the Falklands War, during which served as a helicopter pilot.

Moreover, the festival pays tribute to II, who was the head of the armed forces during her 70-year-long reign.

Her dedication to duty and service not just as the head of state but also to the armed forces and as the patron of the Royal British Legion is remembered and celebrated.

The event was attended by 11 senior members of the Royal Family, including King Charles III, Queen Consort, the Earl and Countess of Wessex, the Princess Royal, and Vice-Admiral Sir Tim Lawrence.

Kate and William sat in the front row near the Sovereign and Queen , in accordance with the pecking order.

Tonight's event was the first joint appearance by senior members of the Royal Family since the Queen's funeral on 19 September.

Actor Luke Evans opened the event with a rendition of I Vow to Thee My Country.

Prime Minister Ishii Tsunak also attended the Festival of Remembrance, seated in a box to the left of the royals, while Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer sat to their right.

Kate and will step out again tomorrow to attend the National Service of Remembrance at the Cenotaph in central London.

While the Princess will look on from one of the balconies of the nearby Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office building, William will be among the royals to lay a wreath at the foot of the monument.

Carrying out this sacred duty for the first time as Prince of Wales, William will lay a floral ensemble including red poppies and the Prince of Wales's feathers.

The wreath will also include a new ribbon in Wales red.

The absence of Meghan and Harry at the Festival of Remembrance is notable, especially given the recent tensions between the Sussexes and the rest of the Royal Family.
