For the first Trooping the Colour of King Charles’ reign, Kate chose to wear a green outfit by Andrew Gn and matching hat by Philip Treacy.

Green was a nods to her role as honorary Colonel of the Irish Guards and one of the colors of the flag of Wales. Kate and Prince William were named the Prince and Princess of Wales upon King Charles’ accession to the throne in September — and with Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis in red at Trooping, the Wales family had an ultimate display of flag dressing!

Green was also the color worn by Queen Elizabeth at the event last year.

Kate and William joined locals who had gathered for a Big Lunch along the Long Walk outside Windsor Castle — not far from their home in Windsor — on the day after the coronation. People across the U.K. were invited to gather with neighbors for the events — originally conceived by the Eden Project, the events are intended to “boost community spirit, reduce loneliness and support charities and good causes.”

Kate appeared in a dressed down look — especially compared to the coronation ceremony’s royal regalia! She wore a light blue blazer by Reiss over a white top with black trousers and sneakers.

The official coronation portraits included a group shot that gave a better look at Princess Kate’s dress. Seeing the Princess of Wales without her Dame Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order robe prompted speculation that she took inspiration from a previous outfit in her closet. For the 2019 Diplomatic Corps reception, the royal sported a gown featuring a similar neckline and long sleeves — also by Alexander McQueen.

“Colonel Catherine,” as her husband Prince William called her, sported an unexpected shade for her St. Patrick’s Day debut as honorary Colonel of the Irish Guards. But her teal Catherine Walker & Co coat dress was the perfect hue, as it matched the plumes worn in the bearskin caps by the 1st Battalion Irish Guards. She accessorized with heels and a hat in a matching shade and completed the look with a special shamrock brooch and emerald earrings.
