“It is their job, as the Queen demonstrated, to remain sublimely neutral at all times.
“So, perhaps Kate was following her Majesty’s example and chose the outfit based upon its own merits, rather than the reputation of its creator.”
Kate wore Dolce & Gabbana most recently to visit Windsor Guildhall on September 22, where she met volunteers and staff to thank them for their involvement in the Queen’s committal service held in the grounds of Windsor Castle.
This was the Princess of Wales’ first engagement after the late monarch’s state funeral on September 19 and, so, since she and all other royals were still in mourning, Kate wore black. The Dolce & Gabbana Collarless Long Coat was black with eye-catching gold buttons running down its centre – but this wasn’t the first time for the Princess to don it.
