The Princess of Wales is now known just as much for her style as she is her kind and welcoming demeanour. A poignant royal figure symbolising everything forward-facing about the modern British royals, she captivates royal fans endlessly with her inimitable elegance and effortlessly classy dressing. In fact, there is absolutely no doubt that her fashion sense is a major player in her popularity – not just because of how incredible she always looks, but because of the meaning behind her choices of outfit.
In her many years in the royal spotlight, many have picked up on the fact that Princess Kate does not simply approach her fashion with aesthetic in mind. The wife of Prince William certainly has a passion, and an eye, for it, but it’s the symbolic pieces, sentimental garments and inherited jewels boasting secret meanings that convey the strongest messaging.

Sartorial symbolism. Whether it’s wearing a national colour to show respect for a host country, or a set of symbolic accessories that pay tribute to her loved ones, Princess Kate always finds a way to bring a little more meaning into her dressing.
