Princess Kate is known to borrow important jewelry pieces from the collections of royal relatives. For instance, Queen Mary's Lover's Knot tiara is one of the Princess of Wales's favorite items, and was previously beloved by both Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana. As a result, Kate's choice of jewelry for her solo Anzac Day appearance in 2026 makes a lot of sense.
Leaving Prince William at home with their three children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—Princess Kate attended the Anzac Day Service of Commemoration and Thanksgiving at Westminster Abbey in London on April 25. For the occasion, the princess wore a brand new bespoke navy coat dress from Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen, featuring a striking white collar, via @katemiddletonstyled.
Princess Kate accessorized her dress with a matching navy hat from Jane Taylor London and a pair of Gianvito Rossi's Gianvito 105mm Pointed Toe Pumps—a royally-approved style.
