Kate Middleton and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwell have teamed up at the royal's Remembrance Day service on Sunday.

The Duchess of Cambridge and the Duchess of Cornwell shared a balcony during the service at the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office building in Whitehall, London.

The British royal family marked the occasion during the country's second lockdown due to the continuing coronavirus pandemic which say Kate and Camilla standing two metres apart on the balcony during the service.

The event was closed to the public who would usually gather for the occasion. Instead they were encouraged us all to take to our windows and doorsteps for a two minutes' silence at 11am.
