Princess Kate was a vision in blue at King Charles’ coronation celebration in Scotland on Wednesday, July 5.
The 41-year-old Princess of Wales was a must-see in a Catherine Walker & Co coat dress for the National Service of Thanksgiving and Dedication at St. Giles’ Cathedral — which honored Charles and Queen Camilla’s May 6 crowning.
Kate’s vibrant ensemble featured a plush velvet collar and a tailored silhouette. The U.K. native paired the piece – which she previously wore to an Easter church service at St. George’s Chapel on April 9 — with a cobalt pumps, a Philip Treacy fascinator and pearl-drop earrings that once belonged to her late mother-in-law Princess Diana. Kate further accessorized with Queen Elizabeth II’s Four Row Japanese Pearl Choker.
The Duchess of Cambridge first wore the necklace at Prince Philip’s funeral in April 2021 and again at Elizabeth’s funeral in September 2022.
Kate attended the Wednesday event alongside her husband, Prince William, who donned his Royal Air Force uniform, Garter Sash with the Lesser George, RAF Wings and medals from the Golden Jubilee, Diamond Jubilee, Platinum Jubilee and his father’s coronation.

William, 41, also wore his Royal Air Force uniform as well as the Order of the Thistle Robe to Charles’ official coronation in London, while Kate, for her part, sported formal red and blue robes of the Royal Victorian Order atop an ivory Alexander McQueen gown with embroidered roses, thistle, daffodil and shamrocks. The princess — who shares son Prince George, 9, Prince Louis, 5, and daughter Princess Charlotte, 8, with William — also turned heads at the celebration with a silver headpiece made by Jess Collett x
