Kate Middleton has been embracing her country casuals in recent weeks: wearing second jackets, skinny jeans and a division Baker Boy-hat during visits to the Lake District and the island of Mull. For the 80th birthday of Ve Day Today, the princess of Wales returned to the way of royal dressing that we have seen her adopt so often over the years.
In fact, the princess chose to restore a plum jacket dress from Emilia Wickstead for the occasion, along with a matching hat from Sean Barrett, matching jewelry and a RAF broche. No stranger to repeat her favorite wardrobe, the Royal previously wore the same look during a state visit from the South African President Cyril Ramaphosa in 2022.
Kate was accompanied by her husband, Prince William, and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, to look at today’s military procession, before they greet crowds of Buckingham Palace’s balcony. Later the royals – including the King and the Queen – held a tea party in the palace for veterans and members of the wartime generation.
It has been a turbulent for the royals, where Prince Harry exposed the size of the gap between himself and the royal family during a Candid BBC interview On Friday, in which he revealed that he and the king are currently not on speaking conditions. “I would like to keep reconciliation with my family,” he said. “It makes no sense to keep fighting more, life is expensive.”
