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.

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).

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.
