Queen sets 'iconic' fashion trends as Kate Middleton dresses for diplomacy like HRH

“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.”

Just last week, Kate kicked off her Caribbean tour with a head to toe royal blue ensemble, complete with Jenny Packham lace peplum top, pencil skirt, Emmy London Rebecca pumps and clutch bag.

The Queen also uses fashion to depict the context of her visits.

A spokesperson from Dune Bags stated: “When she paid a visit to France in 1957, Hartnell, still her trusted dress designer, embroidered French flowers and Napoleonic bees on her garment.

“Her trip to Canada was monumentalised by green velvet maple leaves on a pale green satin dress, and she honoured India with louts flowers elements.”
