Princess Kate and Prince William visited Lambeth Palace to formally meet the new Archbishop of Canterbury, Dame Sarah Mullally. She is the first woman to lead the Church of England in its 1,400 years of history, so the meeting was significant.
For the occasion, Kate chose a custom-made brown coat by Catherine Walker, which she paired with a matching brown midi dress by Edeline Lee.
The dress is the Jete Crop Sleeve model, featuring short sleeves that add a unique touch to the winter look.
The entire ensemble maintained a brown palette that perfectly suited the formal yet warm tone of the meeting. Everything was in its proper place.
She wore her chocolate brown suede Gianvito Rossi 105s, the heels we’ve seen several times in her closet. They’re a safe bet because they go with practically everything and maintain sophistication without being overly complicated.
For jewelry, she chose her Cartier Trinity earrings, a timeless classic. But the most interesting piece was Daniella Draper’s necklace, the Keeper’s Heart Trace Chain Necklace.
It’s a piece crafted from 9-carat recycled gold, featuring a hand-engraved message that remains a mystery to all. According to the brand, it symbolizes “love and connection.”
