Thursday 5th November
The Duchess of Gloucester, on behalf of the Queen, will attend the Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey.
Saturday 7th November
The King, Queen and members of the Royal Family will attend the annual Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall.
Sunday 8th November
The King, Queen and members of the Royal Family will attend the annual Remembrance service at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday. The King will lay a wreath, the design of which pays tribute to the wreath of His Majesty’s grandfather, King George VI, and Queen Elizabeth II. The wreath’s poppies are mounted on an arrangement of black leaves, as is traditional for the sovereign, and its ribbon bears the King’s racing colours; scarlet, purple and gold. The royal racing colours were also incorporated into the wreaths of King George V, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II.
The Queen’s wreath will be laid on Her Majesty’s behalf by her equerry. The Queen’s wreath will bear Her Majesty’s racing colours, inherited from her grandfather, and echoes the wreath of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.
The King and Queen’s wreaths have been produced by the Poppy Factory, which has been making Remembrance wreaths for the Royal Family for over a century.
The Prince of Wales will lay the wreath previously laid by His Majesty The King as the former Prince of Wales, featuring The Prince of Wales feathers. The wreath now bears a ribbon in Welsh red.
The Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, the Princess Royal and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, and the Duke of Kent will also attend the service.
Wednesday 11th November
The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester will visit the Royal British Legion National Remembrance Gardens for a Service of Remembrance at the Armed Forces Memorial to commemorate Armistice Day.

Since TM will get back to London on November 4th, I expect they'll be exhausted. At least they'll have a few days of rest before they have a week of remembrance events.

Remembrance Weekend is a sacred day not only for the nation, but the Royal Family as well. This isn't just another appearance, it's very moving for the Royals. The King and Queen will have time to rest up before the weekend.
