Bright colours

Like the Queen, Kate often dresses in bright colours when out and about on royal engagements.

Elizabeth Holmes, the author of ‘HRH: So Many Thoughts on Royal Style’, told Insider she thought Kate follows the Queen’s precedent in this regard.

Ms Holmes said: “I think they [The Queen and Duchess of Cambridge] understand the power of clothes, the role it has in their public duties, and have remained consistent with their style.

“There’s a calming sense in that consistency because you know what to expect from them.

“It feels as though Kate has studied the Queen’s wardrobe and what she does with those brightly coloured coats and hats. I think that Kate is embracing the attention around her fashion.”
