In fact, that coat in shape, style and military cut was very reminiscent of those of the tailoring dear first to Diana and then to the Duchess. Just a few days ago she showed up at the Commonwealth Day function with a coat dress light blue like that of the flag of Ukraine made by the trusted maison. So it’s no wonder that, in this maelstrom of royal dating, Kate wanted to explore new names after seeing their success in more or less aristocratic territories.

According to what the Windsor jewelry experts report, the brooch was probably made by Cartier should be owned by Irish Guards and loaned to royal ladies associated with the regiment. The story is not clear, however. James Wilsonauthor of the book that boasts the preface by William Up the Micks! An Illustrated History of the Irish Guards claims that the regiment had donated the jewel to Princess MaryElizabeth’s aunt, in 1961. Upon her death in 1965, the brooch passed back to the regiment after having bought it at auction, thus passing to the queen’s mother and daughter. Since 2011, the only one entitled to wear the brooch is Kate since William is the colonel of the Irish Guards. A task he has gladly honored for over ten years.
