 While the reason The Princess of Wales always chooses to wear several poppies to Remembrance events has never been revealed, many believe the reason stems from her wish to pay tribute to lost family members. Kate's great-grandmother had three brothers who were all killed in action during World War One and the Princess had the opportunity to view letters from her ancestors during an emotional visit to the Imperial War Museum in 2018. Other female members of the Royal Family often choose to do the same. The late Queen would famously wear a collection of five poppies to the Cenotaph which many believed was her way of paying tribute to the five branches of service, these include: the Army, the Royal Navy and the RAF.

The Princess of Wales stood alongside The Queen Consort to watch the Remembrance Service at the Cenotaph today – but many questioned why Kate always chooses to wear multiple poppies
The Princess of Wales stood alongside the Queen Consort at today’s moving Remembrance Day service at the Cenotaph in Whitehall to pay tribute to the war dead. While Kate looked incredibly elegant as she watched from the balcony of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, many fans questioned why she was wearing three poppies.
Unlike King Charles and other members of the Royal Family who wore one simple poppy on their uniforms, Camilla and Kate both added several of the flowers and a diamond brooch to their outfits to pay tribute to those who lost their lives in the World Wars and other conflicts.
Despite never being confirmed by the palace, one theory is that the royals wear multiple brooches in honour of family members who have fought and died in wars.
