Why The Royal Family Wear Poppies On Remembrance Sunday

’Why The Royal Family Wear Poppies On Remembrance Sunday’. Members of the royal family traditionally lead Remembrance Sunday tributes each year at The Cenotaph in Whitehall, London. The service takes place on the second Sunday in November nearest to Armistice Day on November 11th. Armistice Day marks the signing of the armistice which ended the Frst World War. A 2 minute silence is held at 11am on both days as a mark of respect for those who died in the war and those left behind. Poppies are worn to remember those who lost their lives in the two World Wars and later conflicts. In a show of support, Princess Catherine and Queen Camilla are often spotted wearing not one, but three poppies. Buckingham Palace have never confirmed the reason for royals wearing multiple poppies. However, they are thought to be in honour of family members who have fought and died in wars. The late Queen Elizabeth II would often wear five poppies when she attended the national service. It is thought they represented each service in the war: the Army, the Navy, the RAF, the Civil Defence and women. Remembrance Sunday will fall on November 12th this year and will be King Charles second time leading the special service. #kingcharles #remembrancesunday #armisticeday Follow us for more royal news, history, and highlights: ♛ Subscribe to our brand new show, exclusive to Snapchat - ♛ Subscribe to our YouTube channel (tap the bell icon and stay up to date with all the latest Royal videos!) - ♛ Find us on TikTok @royalfamilychannel ♛ Follow us on Facebook - ♛ Tweet with us! -
