The women of the British royal family are renowned for their sartorial prowess, but none more so – one might argue – than Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge.
Kate Middleton “stole the show”, according to Glamour Magazine, and we at New Idea are inclined to agree.
Dressed beautifully in powder blue, the wife of Prince William was the focus of style watchers all over the world as she stepped out for the joint celebration of Easter Sunday and her grandmother-in-law Queen Elizabeth’s 93rd birthday at St George’s Chapel in Windsor.
Kate recycled a baby blue coat by her favourite designer Alexander McQueen which she wore in Sydney during the 2014 royal tour of Australia.
The mother-of-three accessorised the look with a perfectly matched Jane Taylor hat and added a touch of sparkle with a diamond brooch and the Robinson Pelham sapphire earrings she wore on her royal wedding day in 2011.
Known for her preference for British fashion houses, Kate opted for an elegant pair of suede stilettos from Emmy London, Footwear News reports.
Kate was joined by her husband as well as a host of senior royals including Princess Anne, Zara Tindall and husband Mike Tindall, Princess Beatrice, Peter Phillips and wife Autumn Phillips as well as Prince Harry who attended without heavily pregnant Meghan Markle.
Eagle eyed royal fans noticed stiffness between Princes William and Harry who did not acknowledge one another either entering or leaving the service.
Over the weekend reports surfaced that plans are being made to send the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to Africa once their royal baby is born.
The move is said to be designed to strengthen the monarchy’s relationship with young people across the Commonwealth, but conflicting reports suggest the relocation is more connected with putting distance between Harry and Meghan and the Cambridges.
