The Princess wore an Alexander McQueen bespoke coat inspired by Sarah Burton’s Pre-Fall 2020 collection, which suggests the piece has been in her wardrobe for some time, well before Burton’s recent move to Givenchy. The coat sits firmly within Catherine’s established style: precise tailoring, a defined waist, and an elongated silhouette that reads as both formal and appropriate for the occasion. I like how the contrasting white lapels soften the navy, bringing a lighter finish that still feels in keeping with the tone of the occasion.

Her styling rarely misses, and this was no exception.

The Gianvito Rossi pumps – a reliable fixture in her wardrobe that she owns in multiple shades – add that familiar consistency, while the navy DeMellier London Nano Montreal bag reinforces her growing preference for the label.

The new Jane Taylor hat adds a classic finishing touch, reinforcing the composed tone of the look, and the jewellery, including Diana, Princess of Wales’ sapphire drop earrings, introduces a subtle note of sentiment that feels entirely in keeping with the service.

When Catherine commits to a colour story, she fully commits, and this head-to-toe navy moment is a reminder of how effective this approach remains for her.
