The Queen will not attend Remembrance events this weekend after doctors advised her to continue to rest after she contracted a chest infection.
The women who have worn the crown: their lives, their loves, their stories. England and elsewhere, princesses sometimes too with dashes of all kinds of royal.

The romantic story of a famous Lover's Knot Tiara
The Princess of Wales in the Cambridge Lover's Knot tiara in July 2017
It's based on a gift of love so it's rather appropriate that this tiara has such a romantic name. The Lover's Knot Tiara, now the go to diadem of the Princess of Wales, links this future queen to one past and plenty of other royal women in between. This diadem has a long royal history but in recent times it was closely associated with two women who have been Princess of Wales - Diana and Catherine.
A question mark over The Queen's health on important weekend
Queen Camilla may have to miss the Remembrance commemorations as she continues to recover from a chest infection. The Queen has already had to cancel several engagements after becoming ill and as Buckingham Palace announced who would be attending the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday, it was confirmed that Her Majesty is still waiting to see if she is well enough.
What the Queen Mother wore to Queen Elizabeth's wedding
All eyes might be on the bride on her big day but there's one other person feeling the style pressure. The mother of the bride. Not only is she seeing her little girl begin a whole new chapter of her life, she's got to have a hat that could stop traffic or no one is going home truly happy. That was never going to be a problem at the wedding of Queen Elizabeth II on November 20th 1947. We all know how her mum loved a hat. And on the day her dynasty made more history, this Queen Elizabeth was more than ready for her close up.

The Duchess of Gloucester takes on important role for Queen Camilla
The Duchess of Gloucester has led royal commemorations at the Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey. For almost a century, simple wooden crosses bearing a single poppy each have been planted at the church to remember those lost in conflict. It's an important royal tribute at the start of the period of Remembrance.
