Princess Kate Wore the Late Queen’s £23,000 Necklace at King Charles’ Scottish Coronation

Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, in a blue coat dress at the Scottish Coronation

It has flown pretty under the radar (especially compared to the last Coronation), but today was Coronation 2.0 for King Charles, who took part in his Scottish Coronation alongside Queen Camilla and the Prince and Princess of Wales. At the Edinburgh event, William and Kate showed some PDA—as has been on trend for them lately—with Kate at one point whispering in her husband’s ear and even lightly tapping him on the behind. (Another bum pat!)

When in Scotland, Kate is known as the Duchess of Rothesay, and she was on hand to watch Charles be presented with the Crown of Scotland at St. Giles’ Cathedral. Kate looked regal in a Catherine Walker royal blue coat dress (which she has worn on a number of occasions in the past—including this past Easter Sunday), quite different from her look at Charles’ Coronation on May 6. Kate’s choice to rewear her look likely harkens to ongoing sustainability efforts by the royal family, specifically William’s Earthshot Prize.
