Duchess Kate repeats a pink McQueen maternity coat: lovely or twee?

Author: | Filed under: Celebrities

Here are some photos of the royal family attending a service at Westminster Abbey yesterday. There was a special Commonwealth service for Commonwealth Day. The Queen is the head of state to 53 nations, including Canada and Australia. For the service, the royal attendance was actually kind of light. I’ve only seen photos of the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall, the Queen and Prince Philip, plus Prince William and Kate. No Princess Royal? No Duke of York?

This was one of Kate’s final public appearances before she gives birth next month. She’s due to make some more appearances this week, including her trip to the set of Downton Abbey, and then after that… we probably won’t see much of her until she gives birth. I think for the birth, we’ll probably see the same wall-to-wall hospital coverage and Will and Kate will make a big public debut of the baby after he or she is born. I’m assuming? But there’s bound to be less excitement with this second baby.

As for Kate’s look here, she did a repeat. She wore this pale pink Alexander McQueen coat when she was pregnant with George, back for the 2013 Trooping the Colours. The hat and the earrings are new though. The hat is by Jane Taylor and the earrings are morganite and diamond drops by Kiki McDonough. Kate’s clutch is by Prada. The whole ensemble is very… eh. Familiar, girlish, but hey… at least she looked occasion-appropriate. The Queen wore a suit by Karl Ludwig, but I swear, I thought the Queen was wearing Chanel! Perish the thought!

You can read more about the event here at People. Kate spoke to a few commoners and they found her charming.

PS… It’s good to see Philip out and about. That man is 93!!
