Almost the entire royal family joined forces to remember fallen soldiers and pay tribute to their families at the annual Festival of Remembrance on Saturday night in the UK.

The Duchess of Sussex joined her sister-in-law the Duchess of Cambridge as they matched up in elegant black dresses alongside the Queen, their husbands Harry and William, Camilla, Sophie Wessex, Princess Anne and more.

Meghan flashed a beaming smile as she arrived and met fellow guests alongside Harry in a wrap-around black coat which tied at the front in a statement bow.

She wore a small poppy on her breast in a fitting tribute to the event and wore her hair down to one side in beautiful waves.

Meanwhile, Harry opted for a lighter blue suit for the concert – which is organised by the Royal British Legion and marks 100 years since the Armistice which brought World War I to an end.

Catherine matched Meghan in black but opted for a completely different style, looking glowing in a fitted knee-length dress with a stylish cut-out neckline. She too wore her hair loose for the festival, but wore three poppies in a statement cluster on her left shoulder.

William was by her side in a darker blue suit to match his brother, and smiled happily as they were greeted at the door.

The Queen made her usual grand entrance to the event and looked incredible as she covered her own black dress with a long grey wrap draped over her shoulders.

Like Catherine, she chose a larger poppy cluster on her shoulder and coupled her look with her statement pearls round her neck.

Elsewhere, Camilla stole the limelight from her husband Charles as she opted for a pretty knee-length black dress with white petal designs lining her long neckline and sleeves. She wrapped up from the cold air outside in black tights and wore low black heels.

Sophie Wessex was also in attendance and wore one of the most intricate designs of the whole family in a lace black dress with see-through lace sleeves.

The dress fell loosely to her knees and she towered in higher black heels as she stood to chat to guests and organisers in the main entrance hall.

She was followed by Princess Anne who chose to wear an elegant dark blue coat over her black outfit to keep warm. She took it off inside and matched her family perfectly as she took a seat alongside the Queen.

And in another nod to Meghan and Harry, the Kingdom Choir that performed on their wedding day will star alongside the Central Band of the Royal Air Force and the Band of HM Royal Marines.
