Royal fans left puzzled after Duchess Sophie is missing from BBC's Remembrance Day coverage
dailyrecord.co.ukRoyal fans have been left confused after the Duchess of Edinburgh was not shown on the BBC's Remembrance Day coverage alongside Queen Camilla and the Princess of Wales.
In the years prior, Sophie has stood on a balcony overlooking the annual service beside Kate and Camilla, meaning she was easily picked up by the TV cameras.However, last year she stood on another balcony of the Foreign Office, this time with Princess Anne's husband, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, and was not shown in the coverage.
After retaining the same position this year, she was once again not caught by cameras, leaving some curious royal fans to question whether she was at today's event at all, the Mirror reports.One eagle eyed viewer took to social media to ask: "Where was the Duchess of Edinburgh today?" while another pondered: "Where was Sophie, The Duchess of Edinburgh, today?" Meanwhile, another fan complained: "Very disappointed the cameras didn't show Sophie Duchess of Edinburgh last night at the #RemembranceService at the Royal Albert Hall or today at the Cenotaph."For the moving ceremony today, Sophie wore the beautiful black coat dress that she wore to the late Queen Elizabeth's funeral last year.
The piece by Suzannah London features a lily of the valley design with the flower said to be a favourite of the late monarch's whom the duchess was very close with.Similarly to Kate, Sophie wore three poppies pinned to the coat dress along with a black hat and elegant pearl earrings.
