On Thursday 11 November, following in the footsteps of her late father-in-law, Prince Philip, Camilla attended an early event in the British Memorial Day series.
Representing the British Royal Family, the Duchess of Cornwall officially opened the Memorial Cemetery No. 93 in Westminster Abbey. On the same day, after the Ceremony of The Anniversary of the Invalides was held on the cemetery, the Duchess of Cornwall also placed crosses and poppies in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, as is customary.
Camilla wore a green coat with a black wide-brimmed top hat and tonal boots; notably the Duchess had two brooches pinned to her left breast. One is a traditional commemorative (British) national martyr poppy, and the other is a silver brooch commissioned by the Rifle Regiment, which symbolizes its identity. As the Honorary Colonel of the Rifle Regiment, the largest infantry regiment in the British Army, Camilla received the brooch of special significance from diamonds and two emeralds at Clarence Palace last year.
Historically, yesterday's traditional commemoration has been attended by the late Duke of Edinburgh. It was not until six years ago, when Prince Harry accompanied his grandfather to the event, that he officially took over this responsibility from the old prince.
In the years that followed, Prince Harry also attended the traditional event as was customary. The year before, Harry had also taken his wife, Meghan Markle, to visit the thousand-year-old Gothic Westminster Abbey, where poppies and crosses were placed.
Last year, however, with the departure of the Runaway Prince and former American actress, the heavy lifting fell on Camilla, who served as the royal patron of the poppy factory.
Despite his retirement from the royal family, Harry does not seem willing to sever this particular bond altogether. On Last year's Day of Death, the Duke of Sussex and his duchess visited the Los Angeles Cemetery, where they laid wreaths and observed a two-minute silence in mourning for the deceased Unknown Soldier.
This year, Harry and Meghan won't stop either. In the past two days, these two people have once again made a small joke in front of the United States and royal fans from all over the world because of this poppy.
In fact, every November, it is customary for people in commonwealth countries to mourn those who died in two and other wars. In the United States, there is no such habit. However, Harry and Meghan seem to have forgotten what it means to "go with the flow", and frequently wear poppies when attending events in the United States.
On Tuesday, when Megan attended an online summit at an event, she appeared dressed in black with a poppy pinned to her chest. The attire was exactly the same as that worn by the Royal Family's daughters on Memorial Day. Meghan's outfit has aroused great disgust among the British people and fans. Let me ask you, what is your intention to make trouble?
However, on Wednesday, when Prince Harry and Meghan attended the 2021 "Salute to Freedom" awards ceremony on the Dreadnought battleship in New York, the couple wore the little red flower. Once again, the Sussex's childish behavior made them the object of ridicule and ridicule.
Of course, it's not over yet. The UK's Memorial Day series has just kicked off, culminating in the Commemoration of National Day on Saturday and the National Commemoration on Sunday.
Saturday's commemoration at London's Royal Albert Hall will be attended by Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall, the Dukes of Cambridge (Prince William and Kate Middleton) and Prince Edward and his wife, The Countess Sophie-Wessex.
It has just been confirmed that Queen Elizabeth II has confirmed that she will attend Sunday's national commemoration. Previously, the 95-year-old Queen was advised by doctors to take a two-week break for health problems. However, the national commemoration of the Day of national mourning occupies a very important place in the old lady's schedule, so at the queen's insistence, the schedule was finally confirmed.
As is customary, old ladies would stand on the balcony of the Office of Foreign Affairs, Federation and Development as in previous years to watch the wreath-laying ceremony. Camilla, Kate and Sophie will also be with the Queen.
In the next few days, I don't know what new tricks Harry and Meghan will make, so please continue the farce.
