Princess Kate's Brand New Coat Dress Alludes to Princess Diana in the Sweetest Way for Remembrance Sunday
One of her accessories was a subtle nod to her late mother-in-law, too.
On November 8, Princess Kate joined other senior members of the Royal Family to pay her respects on Remembrance Sunday. The Princess of Wales attended the 2026 National Service Of Remembrance at The Cenotaph in London alongside Queen Camilla.
For the occasion, which pays tribute to members of the armed forces who have lost their lives, Princess Kate wore an all-black outfit featuring some nods to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana.
Kate opted to commission a new bespoke coat dress from one of Princess Diana's favored brands—Catherine Walker—for Remembrance Sunday 2026. The custom double-breasted coat features a statement collar and buttons, with accentuated shoulders.
The royal coordinated her new coat dress with Jane Taylor London's Decima Hat in Luxury Black Felt, which retails for £2,590 (approximately $3,459), via @katemiddletonstyled.
