HRH wore the Buckley Crystal Poppy, sold by the Royal British Legion. I'm rather ambivalent towards the idea of Royal Ladies wearing jeweled poppies: on the one hand the occasion is very sombre and such minor vanities might look a bit out of place, on the other hand the Queen does wear a diamond brooch with her poppies and at funerals, which basically sets the rule.
