Kate Middleton Pays Tribute to the Late Queen Elizabeth in Burgundy Ensemble and Brown Leather Boots for Qatar State Visit
More from Footwear News
Kate Middleton was a vision in a full burgundy ensemble and chocolate brown boots to attend a ceremonial welcome Horse Guards Parade on Dec. 3 in London, England.
The Princess of Wales and her husband Prince William arrived in a carriage at Buckingham Palace for day one of The Amir of the State of Qatar’s visit to the United Kingdom.
The princess arrived wearing a monochromatic burgundy outfit, made up of a long line coat by British designer Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen with leather gloves, pointed brown boots and a Chanel bag.
She broke up the monochromatic look with a pair of the most chocolate brown leather boots. The shoes featured a pointed toe, a block heel measuring about 3.5 inches and were seemingly a pull-on design. She has worn similar boots by Chloe and Gianvito Rossi to other royal events, like the designer’s suede Glen boots.
The Princess of Wales was also paying homage to her late mother-in-law, Queen Elizabeth II, by putting on a custom teardrop beret made by Sahar Millinery. The burgundy beret paired perfectly with the rest of her ensemble and featured a bow on top. She wore a four-strand pearl choker necklace, which was previously worn by Princess Diana, and was originally gifted to Queen Elizabeth. Her pearl earrings also belonged to the queen.
His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Amir of the State of Qatar, accompanied by Her Highness Sheikha Jawaher bint Hamad bin Suhaim Al Thani, are scheduled to hold several engagements with The Prince and Princess of Wales, King Charles and Queen Camilla, as well as other political figures.
This means the princess should be expected to make more public appearances this week after a year of largely staying out of the public eye. This is her first public appearance since finishing her chemotherapy treatment earlier this year. The Princess of Wales will not be in attendance at the State Banquet as her recovery from her cancer diagnosis is ongoing.
