  Meghan Markle is set to join the royal family for the first time to commemorate Remembrance Day this weekend
    Remembrance Day, which falls on Nov. 11 and is observed throughout the Commonwealth, marks the day World War One ended, at 11 a
m. on the 11th day of the 11th month, in 1918. A two-minute silence is held at 11 a
m. to remember those who died in battle.    This weekend, the royal family has several memorial service outings planned, which will see Meghan join the Queen, Prince Harry, Prince William and Kate Middleton
 And many of them will be wearing red poppy pins.    It will not mark the first time Meghan has worn the well-known pin
 She attended her first Anzac Day service last spring alongside Harry just one month before their royal wedding
 Anzac Day commemorates the first major battle involving Australian and New Zealand forces during World War One
 It has been honored in London since the first anniversary of the Anzac landings at Gallipoli in 1916, when King George V attended a service at Westminster Abbey
    The future royal wore a Smythe grey coat and (shop a similar style here) and bespoke Emilia Wickstead black two-piece crepe skirt suit (get a similar look here and here) for the somber occasion
 She also had on a special accessory — a poppy pin.    The remembrance poppy is an artificial flower that has been used since 1921 to commemorate military members who have died in war

    The poppy symbol is believed to have come from the poem “In Flanders Fields” by John McCrae, a poem about World War I
 The opening stanza reads:    In Flanders fields the poppies blow   Between the crosses, row on row,   That mark our place; and in the sky   The larks, still bravely singing, fly   Scarce heard amid the guns below
    The royal family proudly wears their pins when they honor armed forces who sacrificed their lives
   The tradition of wearing a poppy has been adopted across the U.K. and in Canada
 It is especially poignant on Armistice Day on Nov. 11, which is observed in Europe and in the countries of the Commonwealth to remember the sacrifices of military members
   The poppy is worn on the left to symbolize that those who died are close to your heart, according to the BBC
 It’s also where military medals are worn.   According to the Royal British Legion, who produces poppies in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, “There is no right or wrong way to wear a poppy
 It is a matter of personal choice whether an individual chooses to wear a poppy and also how they choose to wear it
 The best way to wear a poppy is to wear it with pride.”
