The Princess of Wales has been a regular attendee of the Trooping the Colour ceremony and has graced the event in plenty of stylish ensembles over the years, showcasing her impeccable fashion sense.
The annual British military ceremony which celebrates the official birthday of the reigning monarch involves a colourful parade, where regiments display their flags and perform synchronised drills. The event culminates with a ceremonial fly-past by the Royal Air Force.
Like her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, Kate’s presence adds to the grandeur of the occasion, attracting significant media attention and admiration from fashion fans, who are just as keen to see what she will wear as the flypast (guilty).
The year her outfit seemed to carry more symbolism than ever before, with her choice to wear a bespoke emerald green crepe coat dress by couture designer Andrew Gn. It is thought that the hue was a very deliberate colour choice for King Charles’ first-ever Trooping, as it serves as a tribute to the Irish Guards, of which Kate is a colonel.
The proof was in the pudding when fashion fans spotted her Cartier shamrock brooch she used to accessorise the outfit. Kate usually wears the piece during her visits to the Irish Guards, especially at their St. Patrick’s Day parades where she is on hand to deliver the traditional shamrock emblem.
Kate opted to pair her custom green creation featuring satin trim, handcrafted jewelled buttons, a bespoke wide-brimmed Philip Treacy hat in green, and Princess Diana’s Sapphire Earrings.
