Open Post – Commonwealth Day

Today is Commonwealth Day!

Various members of the royal family are expected to attend, but the biggest news of course is that Her Majesty will not. I’m sure she’ll be watching from home though, with a cuppa and a corgi.

Message from HM:

Services to start in just a few minutes, if they haven’t already. Drop your photos in here, and we’ll circle around and flesh out this post as we get more info and photos!

Thank you to Baguette geogirl for sharing the info on the live link, which is available here.

Update: Arrivals.

William and Kate. Kate’s coat is “Mayfair” by Catherine Walker, in Sapphire Blue. According to Couture and Royals, “Kate is also wearing the same sapphire & diamond earrings and necklace that she wore to greet the Ukrainian President and First Lady in 2019. While we have seen the earrings for a decade now, it’s just the 2nd time we have seen the necklace, which she debuted in 2019.”
