Kate Middleton was accompanied by her 'royal sister' as she made her major public appearance for a poignant yet crucial event in the royal calendar.
On Armistice Day, the Princess of Wales was joined on the balcony by Duchess Sophie to see the solemn Remembrance Sunday Parade at the Cenotaph to remember World War II's lost warriors.
The future Queen is being supported by close members of the royal family, including the Duchess of Edinburgh, as she eases back into her royal responsibilities following her nine-month cancer treatment, according to a body language expert.
Kate and Sophie enjoyed a sweet moment on the balcony before heading back inside. Sophie was seen laying a protective hand over Kate, providing comfort.
"Once Kate had walked away from the spotlight and was stepping back inside Whitehall, it is touching to see her being rewarded with a small, maternal-looking 'pat' on the back from Sophie," Judi James, a specialist on Brexit, told The Sun.
James remarked that Sophie's gesture was "similar" to Prince William's "affectionate back-touches" to offer support.
"Kate is looking confident and even dazzling but it's clear she has a small team of closest royals like William and Sophie quietly looking after her too and offering affectionate, caring touches like these to either reassure or reward her as she returns to royal life," commented James.
According to sources, Kate is already preparing for her position as Queen while King Charles is receiving cancer treatment. While Charles looks to be doing well, the Firm is taking precautions to prepare for any eventuality.
Kate, as 'Queen-in-waiting', relies on the support of her "confidante" in the family, especially following her cancer diagnosis.
