The Princess of Wales stepped out to commemorate Anzac Day, wearing an effortlessly elegant dark navy coat and a red poppy as she carried out duties on behalf of King Charles.
Arriving at the wreath laying ceremony and parade at London's Cenotaph, the 44-year-old wife of Prince William appeared stoic as she remembered all Australians and New Zealanders who have lost their lives in conflict and who have served.
She was not joined by her husband or other senior members of the royal family and laid her wreath on behalf of her father-in-law, King Charles.
Following her attendance at the ceremony, the mother-of-three walked to Westminster Abbey for a church service of commemoration and thanksgiving.
Earlier in the day, the royals were represented by Princess Anne, who attended the dawn service at Wellington Arch, Hyde Park Corner, wearing a long, dark green coat.
For her solo outing, Kate chose a simple, demure double-breasted coat dress in navy that featured white and navy sharp lapels and padded shoulders.
The long coat stopped just shy of her ankles and featured stitched pocket detailing. The tailored garment was complemented by a pair of simple matching navy stiletto heels and a bright red poppy Kate had fastened to her left lapel.

Kate matched her jewellery and wore blue sapphires encased in diamonds around her neck, on her finger and in her ears, in a drop-earring fashion.
She livened up her makeup look for the pensive day with a grey smoky eye, a light pink lipstick and a brush of pinkish blush on her cheeks.

The commemorative day has been marked in England's capital city since King George V attended the first service at Westminster Abbey in 1916 to mark the anniversary of the landings at Gallipoli.
It has since become a day in the calendar to honour Australians and New Zealanders who have died in conflict.

"The service commemorates all Australians and New Zealanders who have lost their lives in conflict and recognises all those who have served."
