Privacy NoticeThe Princess of Wales is known all over the world for her incredible sense of style and her unwavering dedication to her many important charities and patronages. The sizeable impact that she has had on the fashion industry alone has been dubbed as ‘The Kate Effect’ as whatever she appears in typically sells out in minutes. Kate has continually wowed the crowds with what she chooses to wear to her public appearances. Whether she is appearing in a floor length gold Jenny Packham gown for a glittering film premiere or arriving in London to hand out a fashion award, it is clear the royal has her public image down to a fine art.

And after her latest – albeit brief – appearance at the Men’s Final at Wimbledon as she continues to focus on her cancer treatment, comments were made about the princess’ stunning outfit choice, and how the bold colour was reminiscent of the late Queen Elizabeth II. The late Queen’s taste in fashion was famously bold and eye-catching – but that was for a very good reason. In his 2011 biography Our Queen, royal author Robert Hardman described the Queen as “engagingly modest” and detailed the one colour of the rainbow that she will never wear. He wrote: “My favourite remark she ever said was, ‘I can ever wear beige because nobody will know who I am.’”

On whether The Princess of Wales’ decision to move into a bolder wardrobe has been at all inspired by Queen Elizabeth II, celebrity stylist and fashion expert, Leroy Dawkins, explained all in an exclusive chat with OK! “It has been noticed by many royal watchers that the Princess of Wales wears one colour outfits – and there are many reasons why she may choose to do this. “The tone-on-tone trend, better known as easy dressing, may suit the princess especially after her recent health problems – and also because she is a busy mother of three young children.

“Even with a stylist, it’s a quick and easy way to dress by keeping it to one colour – such as the purple dress she recently wore at the Wimbledon final – it’s no fuss dressing but still looks well out together and stands out. “The princess could also be transitioning her wardrobe for her future role as Queen and could be following style ideas from the late Queen Elizabeth II who also favoured one colour dressing as she was a busy working mother and monarch – so this trend absolutely works for a busy lifestyle.” While the princess frequently opts for colours like blue and focuses on co-ordinating her three young children at public events, there is significance behind all of her choices, Leroy points out.

“Colours chosen can also let you know of the wearers mood as colours represent certain messages. The princess wears red, navy, white, camel and light blue. The tone-on-tone trend of dressing is also a favourite of the Duchess of Sussex. “Red is associated with love. Camel is associated with energy, cheerfulness, activity, fire and warmth. The Princess’s favourite blue is regal and also symbolises serenity, stability, inspiration, or wisdom. “She is a working mother who is slowly transitioning and finding her way in fashion for the next chapter of her life.”Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
