Commonwealth Day is a key date in the calendar of the British royal family. It is an event that celebrates the union of the countries that are part of this community, although in recent years its stability has been threatened by the desire for independence of some nations.
As is tradition, the central ceremony took place in Westminster Abbey, with the presence of the Windsors.
However, in this 2025 edition, all eyes were on Kate Middleton, who made her grand return after her absence the previous year due to her cancer treatment.
Kate Middleton’s style at Commonwealth Day
The Princess of Wales reappeared in a symbolic moment and did so with an impeccable stylistic choice.
Kate opted for an elegant red coat with bow, a design by Catherine Walker that she has worn on other occasions.
It is a wool garment with an A-line cut, where the pleats fall softly from the shoulders to a knot at the neckline, providing a sophisticated and feminine air.
To complete the look, she paired the coat with red suede heels by Gianvito Rossi, with a ten-centimeter heel, along with a matching handbag by Emmy London.
As a final touch, she chose a pillbox headdress by Gina Foster, which added a classic touch to her look.
Jewelry with history: a tribute to Elizabeth II and Diana of Wales
While the coat caught many eyes, the real stars were the jewels that Kate chose for the occasion.
The princess wore a stunning pearl choker necklace, an exclusive Garrard piece composed of four rows of Japanese pearls and a central brooch adorned with diamonds.
This necklace belonged to Queen Elizabeth II, who wore it in multiple official events.
Princess Kate had already worn this jewel in moments of great significance, such as at the funerals of Prince Philip and the British monarch.
To reinforce this tribute, the wife of Prince William also wore pearl earrings from Bahrain, another jewel from the personal collection of Elizabeth II.
These accessories also have a strong link with Princess Diana, as they were one of her favorite pieces in numerous public appearances.
With her styling for Commonwealth Day 2025, the Princess of Wales has managed to pay tribute to two of the most important figures of the British monarchy: her mother-in-law, Princess Diana, and Queen Elizabeth II.
