un new tone, between purple and burgundy red, for the Princess of Wales. Kate Middleton, in her new official capacity, with her husband William, Charles III and the queen consort, gave welcome the President of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa, on an official visit to London. The overcoat, made to measure, is signed @emiliawickstead, one of the brands crowding her wardrobe at Kensington Palace. The clutch is by Mulberry London, while the décolleté by Gianvito Rossi. On the chest pinned a brooch tribute to Lady Diana: it is an emerald brooch donated by Queen Mother to Lady D on her engagement to Charles. However, the cap deserves a special mention.

Kate Middleton and that pillbox hat
As a headdress (tiaras are worn only after 6.30 pm on gala evenings) Kate chose, in fact, a tambourine hat, in perfect synchrony with the elegance decreed at the time by an icon that went down in history: Jackie Kennedy. The former US first lady had made it a statement of her style. Middleton’s is signed @seangbarrett. She wore a similar one, but light blue, last March.
