Both Royal women wore formal black coats, hats, and white pearl earrings, presenting a united front. Judy James noted that they stood separately on the balcony without Sophie Press to complete the usual trio of Royal brides. Despite this, Camilo and Kate appeared to share equal status, with similar poses and nearly identical hats placed at the same angle.
Kate seemed emotional during the service, while Camilo wore a serene smile, exuding calm and happiness. However, there was a moment towards the end of the service when Kate subtly reminded Camilo of the hierarchy. Judy explained that both women seemed to acknowledge the need for hierarchical cues following the late Queen's passing. Camilo turned her head in a way that suggested she needed Kate to go first, and they elegantly stepped inside together. Camilo's affectionate smile seemed to express gratitude for Kate's reminder.
Notably, Kate chose to wear several poppies on her outfit, unlike other Royals who typically wear a single poppy. This practice is in memory of those who lost their lives in various conflicts. Kate's great-grandmother had three brothers who died during World War I, and this tradition may be her way of honoring their memory. The late Queen also famously wore five poppies at the memorial, believed to represent the five branches of service: the Army, Royal Navy, and RAF.
