Kate Middleton recycles look for the coronation of Carlos III in Scotland

Two months after his coronation in Westminster Abbey, King Charles III was crowned King of Scotland in a more austere celebration at St Giles' Cathedral. The monarch was accompanied by his wife, Queen Camilla, and by the princes of Wales, known as the Dukes of Rothesay in the country.

An occasion in which Kate Middleton once again left her speechless with her look. If for the first coronation she shone with a premiere design by Alexander McQueen that she wore with a floral headband, for the second she chose to recycle one of the pieces from her exclusive wardrobe.

The Princess of Wales used the fitted coat by Catherine Walker, one of Lady Di's favorite designers, which she debuted on Commonwealth Day in 2022. A midi-length piece in cobalt blue that fit her like a glove thanks to its tailored cut , marked shoulders, contrasting velvet lapels, front button fastening and false pockets.

Under the coat, she wore a satin dress in the same color, although it could not be seen at any time during the ceremony. Middleton accompanied the look with an Emmy London bag and pumps and a Philip Treacy headdress, slightly tilted and with a satin feather.

In this way, Middleton winked at Queen Camila, who for many years has worn this color in her official acts. It should be noted that, after premiering it in the Commonwealth, the princess once again wore the coat at the Easter mass held in the chapel of St. George.

In addition to the gesture to King Charles III's wife, Kate also kept Queen Elizabeth II in mind with her choice of the four-strand Japanese pearl necklace, topped with a diamond clasp, which she wore in April 2021 for the Duke's funeral. from Edinburgh.

Lady Di was also present with the diamond earrings and teardrop-shaped pearl pendant that were a gift from Prince Charles to his fiancée. A jewel that could be appreciated without problems thanks to the princess's hairstyle, who wore her hair collected in a sophisticated bun.
