Why would the Princess pick today to wear such a significant regal color? Yesterday the family celebrated the 75th birthday of King Charles II, which was an important moment, given this landmark birthday also falls in his Coronation year. Today’s event is also a notable milestone for Kate, as she delivered her biggest speech to date about her work in early childhood at the Shaping Us National Symposium.
“It isn’t enough to simply wish for a better world,” she told the audience during her speech, which explored the link between early childhood experiences and the adults we become. “Ultimately, we are all part of a delicate, interconnected ecosystem and just as we need to restore, protect and invest in our planet, so we must restore, protect and invest in our societies, communities, relationships and ourselves.”
A trouser suit is an ideal choice for a modern-day princess: it’s polished, practical and also reinforces the message that The Firm is working hard. Given that she was speaking about her future plans and focuses, it figures that she would decide to stick to traditional codes of executive dressing, and continue to dress like a “corpcore” princess in a commanding trouser suit.
