Brigitte, the Duchess of Gloucester, has returned to the spotlight to represent Queen Camilla at a key royal engagement.
Just one day after concluding her Caribbean tour with King Charles III, Her Majesty was due to attend the 98th Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey in London on November 5th, Thursday.
However, maybe due to travel sickness, the 78-year-old Queen consort was unable to show up at the sombre event; the Danish-born member of the British Royal Family stepped into her role.
As part of the 2026 Remembrance commemorations, Her Royal Highness planted a remembrance cross in tribute to those who lost their lives in service.

She also viewed the memorial plots and met with service personnel, veterans and the grieving family members.
For the pious outing, Prince Richard's wife wore a long black coat with matching gloves and a flat cap.
She also paid a heart-wrenching tribute to the martyred military officials, as she wore a remembrance poppy
For the unversed, this is a symbol of military remembrance, most prominently in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, to honour servicemen and women who have died in conflict.
What is Remembrance Day and why it holds special place in Royal Family's hearts?
It is traditionally worn on lapels in the weeks leading up to Remembrance Day (also known as Armistice Day or Poppy Day) on November 11th, every year.
The symbol King Charles III also opted during his nine-day visit to Antigua and Barbuda.
Notably, the Duchess of Gloucester made a solo appearance ahead of Armistice Day.
However, it is not confirmed why Queen Camilla has not attended an annual commemorative event.
It is pertinent to note that every year the royal engagement has been lined up for the commemoration, where e the grounds around St Margaret's Church are blanketed in tens of thousands of scarlet poppies, wooden crosses, and individual tributes to honour members of the Armed Forces who have lost their lives in service.
