Kate Middleton Demonstrates Princesses Can Recycle Clothes with McQueen Coat

On December 3, Kate Middleton made a striking appearance in her signature blue Alexander McQueen coat, revisiting a look she first showcased during Christmas Day services in 2023. This marks another stylish example that even members of the royal family repeat outfits with elegance.

For the official welcome of German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and his wife, Elke Buedenbender, in London and Windsor, Middleton coordinated her attire with Queen Camilla. Both donned matching Prussian blue coats and hats, creating a visually harmonious greeting at Windsor Castle. According to royal fashion expert Tyler Ellis, the choice of deep blue carried a meaningful nod to Germanys cultural and military heritage.

Middleton paired her tailored McQueen coat with a navy Burberry dress, featuring a belted waist and long sleeves, balancing sophistication with comfort. She complemented the ensemble with a Juliette Millinery bow-and-arrow fascinator, previously worn with the same coat during Christmas 2023 services.

Adding a personal touch, the Princess of Wales wore cherished jewelry, including the Prince of Wales Feather Brooch and sapphire-and-diamond earrings, both once owned by Princess Diana. The brooch also subtly references Middletons husband, Prince William. Her outfit was finished with suede blue Gianvito Rossi boots, perfectly matching the coats elegant hue.
