The Princess of Wales is to attend both the Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph and the Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall on Saturday, Buckingham Palace has announced.
Kate, 42, will be joined by her husband, Prince William, and his father King Charles.

However, the Queen's attendance at Remembrance events will be subject to medical advice nearer the time, the Palace said.
