VE Day: A Spectacle of Regal Burgundy and a Salute to Heroes ✨
Spotted on Valentine's Day in a vibrant Burgundy dress. - She will don burgundy attire on Victory in Europe Day.
Prepare to be dazzled, folks! Princess Kate (43) proved yet again that she's the belle of the ball at VE Day celebrations in London. As the wife of Prince William (42), she wore a striking burgundy coat designed by Emilia Wickstead, teamed with a matching hat and subtle accessories, including a gold brooch with wings - a nod to her war pilot grandfather, as reported by the "Daily Mail".
A Comfy Trio on the Viewing Tribe 👨👩👧
Joining the VE Day festivities were Prince William himself and their three adorable offspring. Snuggled up on a viewing tribune, the 43-year-old queen sat between a 101-year-old war veteran and her daughter, the equally charming Princess Charlotte (10). Adjacent to them were Prince George (10), Prince Louis (7), and uh, dad, all dressed to impress in uniforms from the British Royal Air Force. Little Charlotte was an adorable vision in a dark blue coat and Mary Janes, with her hair neatly braided.
Smiles and laughter were in abundance as mother and daughter and even Princess Kate were captured engaging in warm chats with the aged veteran.
