If You Pay Attention, You’ll Notice Prince William and Princess Kate Have a Color They Prefer to Match In—and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Do, Too

Prince William and Kate Middleton at an engagement

Queen Camilla wears a lot of blue—but so do the Prince and Princess of Wales. In fact, William and Kate often dress their entire family in the hue, with an immediate case in point being the Father’s Day photos released in honor of William this past Sunday. Is there a reason for this? Fashion expert Rosie Harte tells The Daily Mail that the color symbolizes peace and modernity: “Ask anyone what color they associate with the Wales family clan, and most likely they’ll say blue,” she says. “Starting with her Issa engagement dress and sapphire ring, Catherine has carefully cultivated a link between herself and the color blue. Her first official portrait in 2013 featured her in an inky-blue blouse, followed by a second in 2022 in which [she] wears a teal-tinged dress by The Vampire’s Wife beside Prince William in suit and blue tie. For their 10-year wedding anniversary photos, Catherine wore a floral dress and William a blue jumper, and for the 2022 Easter service at Windsor, William, Catherine, George, and Charlotte were all dressed in various shades of blue.”
