Duchess Kate and her husband Prince William joined Queen Elizabeth at church in Sandringham on Sunday.
Kate looked striking in her chosen outfit of a bold purple and orange goat, along with a deep blue fedora.
While the Queen wore a purple coat and hat in a slightly more vibrant shade.
Kate’s choice of colours sent a strong message to the Queen.
While it’s well-known that blue is Her Majesty’s favourite colour, she is also a fan of the colour purple as it has been linked to royalty for centuries.
According to Express.co.uk, purple’s elite significance stems from the cost of the dye originally used to produce it.
Only rulers could originally afford to wear purple garments which is why it became associated with wealth and power.
