Kate Middleton Wears Deep Red to Westminster Abbey for Commonwealth Day
Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, arrived at the Commonwealth Day service wearing an elegant red coat by Catherine Walker.
Joined by husband Prince William, this is the first public engagement with both the Cambridges and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle resigned as senior members of the royal family.
Duchess Kate made a stately entrance to Westminster Abbey this morning, joining the queen and royal family members to celebrate Commonwealth Day 2020. The annual holiday honors the 54 countries across the Commonwealth with worldwide celebrations such as flag parades and cultural performances. In London, Her Majesty and members of the family are ringing in the day with a multi-faith service.
Kate arrived with husband Prince William in a deep red coat by Catherine Walker, which she previously wore on Christmas Day in 2018. She completed the monochrome ensemble with a rose-accented hat, a burgundy clutch and gloves, and a pair of wine-colored heeled pumps.
In-laws Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were also in attendance, marking their first joint appearance with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge since announcing thier plans to step back as senior royals in January. Considering Harry and Meghan are currently completing their final round of royal engagements before full royal retirement, it's unclear how many more official Cambridge-Sussex sightings we'll see in the near future.
As Harry and Meghan returned to London last week, Duchess Kate and Prince William were also busy building diplomatic ties with a tour of Ireland. During the three-day visit, they stopped by Dublin, CountyMeath, County Kildare, and Galway to highlight the cultural bonds between their host country and the U.K. Kate delivered an elegant range of casual and dressed-up ensembles, with lots of green and polka dots.
Kate and William's three young children—Prince George, 6, Princess Charlotte, 4, and Prince Louis 1—were absent from today's royal gathering.
