Burgundy suits Princess Catherine!
On Tuesday, after a prolonged absence from royal duties to treat cancer, the princess of Wales, 42, is now back into duty, not even a day late, downloading the symbolic deep red from head to toe and maybe some special jewels.
She was joined by Prince William, 42, at a welcome event for the Emir of Qatar, who will now be spending the next two days in the U.K. In contrast, Prince William chose a burgundy tie to match the country’s flag colors.
The future Queen showcased a sharply tailored Alexander McQueen coat coupled with a Sahar Millinery drop beret hat, Cornelia James gloves ($188) knee-high Gianvito Rossi leather boots.
Plus, she had with her a burgundy Chanel top-handle purse for the Ceremonial Welcome at Horse Guards Parade.
Apart from the very significant choice of color, the princess has also put on the Four Row Japanese Pearl Choker, which has a long and rich history within the royal family in that it was owned by Queen Elizabeth II.
According to The Court Jeweller, the necklace is “reportedly a gift from the Japanese government, possibly acquired during the 1980s, when she made a state visit to that nation.”

How is Catherine’s jewelry related to Princess Diana and Queen Elizabeth II?
The late Princess Diana, too, styled that sentimental piece for royal duties in the ’90.
The mom of three has been seen in the sentimental piece at past royal occasions, including both Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral in 2021 as well as the 2022 funeral for Queen Elizabeth II.
For the all-important ceremony this morning, Catherine paired the meaningful piece with her favorite Bahrain Pearl Drop Earrings. They had also been passed down by the late queen.
Catherine has worn the drop earrings innumerable times over the years. It is indeed one of her favorite pieces of jewelry.
The couple welcomed Sheikh Tamim along with one of his three wives, Her Highness Sheikha Jawaher bint Hamad bin Suhaim Al Thani, during the event.
The truth is that the princess wore two different dresses on Tuesday. For the indoor segments of the welcome activities, the royal changed her outfit into a near copy of the burgundy coatdress by Epione London, this time donning dainty Gianvito Rossi pumps instead of her boots.
Expect more action from the mother of three in the coming days as she continues her royal duties.
