Her elegant choice of dress was bold but perfectly suited to her casual style. She commanded attention while remaining respectful of the royal event. Catherine's fashion wasn't the only highlight, her sweet moments with Prince William also caught the public's attention, showing their strong relationship. When they arrived at St George's Chapel, Catherine gently placed her hand on William's thigh, a small but affectionate gesture that showed their closeness.
Their quiet gestures of affection, such as holding hands, warmed the solemn atmosphere. Later, outside the chapel, William put his arm around Catherine's back, a gesture that seemed natural to him. It’s not the first time they’ve shared tender moments in public, often displaying affection that seemed genuine amid the royals’ usual restraint. For the wedding, Catherine wore a hot pink Alexander McQueen dress, a departure from the typically muted royal colours, which helped her stand out.
The bold choice was reminiscent of the pale pink dress she wore to Trooping the Colour in 2017. To complete the polished look, she opted for burgundy Prada velvet heels and a matching clutch, as well as a beautiful matching hat by Philip Treacy. She added diamond earrings borrowed from the late Queen Elizabeth II, further emphasizing the family’s royal heritage.
Throughout her years, Catherine has always chosen McQueen for major events, demonstrating her loyal connection to the British brand. As we look ahead to 2024, royal watchers are eagerly awaiting Catherine’s return from her recent health challenges, having completed chemotherapy earlier this year. Speculation is rife as to when she will resume full royal duties.
Although she has been focused on her recovery, Catherine is expected to return to her duties soon. The public admires her not only for her fashion sense, but also for her resilience and dedication. As she prepares to return to her role, there is no doubt that she will continue to balance her duties with grace, as she has always done as the Princess of Wales.
