The Princess, in a rare public outing since her illness, with the Duchess watching the annual National Service of Remembrance at the Cenotaph
It
was an almost imperceptible gesture, but one that spoke volumes. As the Princess of Wales turned to leave the annual Service of Remembrance on Whitehall after making a poignant return to royal duties, the Duchess of Edinburgh, who had watched the emotional event beside her, placed a reassuring hand on her back.
Kate, who has been seen in public only a handful of times this year, had been determined to attend the important event, where her husband the Prince was laying a wreath, and Sophie had moved from her original position on another balcony to support her after the Queen pulled out for health reasons.
