Kate Middleton has given a rare hint at what she will be wearing at King Charles III’s upcoming coronation. During her trip to Birmingham, England with her husband Prince William, Middleton spoke to ITV host Alison Hammond about the coronation. Hammond recalled that she asked the princess what she was planning on wearing to the coronation, to which Middleton replied “there is a hint of blue.”
The Princess of Wales has often opted for a blue-hued outfit in her 12 years as a working member of the royal family. The exact reason for her love of blue is unknown, however the royal family has a long-standing history of association with the color, which represents power, serenity, and stability.
Middleton re-wore an electric blue Catherine Walker coat dress that she previously donned at the 2022 Commonwealth Day Service for the Easter church service at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle. She completed the ensemble with nude suede Gianvito Rossi pumps, Carousel Jewels earrings set with lapis and moonstone, one of her beloved Emmy London Natasha clutches and a blue version of the Lock & Co. pillbox hat she wore during a St. Patrick’s Day celebration last year.
Her husband, 40, looked dapper as he sported a navy suit that complemented the princess’s dress. Their youngest son, Prince Louis, 4, made his debut at the annual event in a blue and white striped top with a tie, blazer and bright blue shorts. His siblings Prince George, 9, and Princess Charlotte, 7, who previously joined their parents at the service in 2022, also got the blue memo. Charlotte wore a floral dress with blue tights under a double-breasted navy coat, while George twinned with his dad in a navy suit and tie.
With just two weeks to go before the historic day on May 6, it’s likely that the Princess of Wales has already landed on a show-stopping fashion ensemble. Royal fans can expect to see Middleton wearing blue on May 6.
