Coronation: Kate Middleton's dress at concert had 'hidden symbolism'

Kate Middleton always wears impressive outfits and the king's Coronation concert was no different. The Princess of Wales chose a striking red Alexander McQueen suit, which she paired with a statement diamond necklace.

According to a fashion expert, the attire was a touching symbol of patriotism. Made by the same designer who created her wedding dress, the tailored suit was first modelled by the duchess in January at the launch of her early years childhood development campaign, Shaping Us.

Stylist and royal fashion expert Miranda Holder told Newsweek that "Kate struck a modern chord, not simply with her choice of pantsuit, but also with her styling".

"Kate simply glowed at the concert this evening re-wearing her stunning scarlet Alexander McQueen suit, remaining consistent in her loyalty to what has become her very favorite design house," Holder told Newsweek. "She wore her hair in a new style, tumbling over her shoulders in glamorous curls making the princess appear fuller-faced and younger for the second time this weekend."

Kate was pictured close to King Charles for the concert, who enjoyed the music so much that he even took to his feet to dance alongside the Queen as they got carried away by hits performed by Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and Take That.

But lots of viewers were left wondering who the lucky guests were who were invited into the royal's special box to watch the music. Patricia Janet Scotland, Baroness Scotland of Asthal, was pictured next to our king dancing along to the music.

She is a British diplomat, barrister and politician, serving as the sixth secretary-general of the Commonwealth of Nations. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his wife were sitting right behind them.

Several royals, including the Wales children and their aunt and uncle Zara and Mike Tindall, were also in the box and danced throughout the incredible performances.

Lots of people posted videos of the royals dancing on social media. In one clip, King Charle's granddaughter Princess Charlotte is seen moving along to Katy Perry as her brother, Prince George, and mother Kate, the Princess of Wales, sit to her left and right.
