According to Express, Kate wore a “bold plum and orange coat paired with a deep blue fedora.” This mimicked the fact that the monarch also wore purple. However, hers was a more vibrant shade.
As stated by the outlet, the Duchess’ style decision “sent a strong royal message” as purple is a color that is often associated with members of the British royal family. Therefore, it not only had a deep historical significance, but also “hinted” at Kate’s future role within the famous family.
It was also revealed that Kate’s blue hat gave a nod to Her Majesty as she herself is known to wear blue quite frequently for a particular reason.
Additionally, it was stated that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s presence was a “clear show of support for the Queen at the start of the new year.”
It has also been reported that Kate has been taking certain steps to prepare for her upcoming role as Queen Consort. The results of such preparation were noticed by some royal fans at a recent event as she reportedly exhibited “dramatic changes.”
