Kate Middleton is making a special solo outing for Armistice Day. The Princess of Wales, 43, represented the royal family at a Service of Remembrance at the National Memorial Arboretum's Armed Forces Memorial on Tuesday, Nov. 11. Although it was Princess Kate's debut at the annual event, a member of the British royal family typically attends each year. A blood royal — a member of the family in the line of succession — usually attends rather than a spouse, but Kate isn't the first royal spouse to represent the monarchy at the service. In addition to blood royals being joined by their spouses over the years, Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh — the wife of Queen Elizabeth's youngest son, Prince Edward — attended the event solo last year.
