Ever since she joined the British royal family in 2011, Princess Kate has been a fashion icon, earning praise from fashion experts and fans alike.
During her 13-year royal journey, the Princess of Wales has attended many important events, but none as significant—or eagerly anticipated—as the coronation of her father-in-law, King Charles III.
On May 6, 2023, Charles and Queen Camilla were crowned at Westminster Abbey.
Prince William, Kate, and their three children, along with members of the royal family, world leaders, and representatives from across the Commonwealth, attended the grand event.
All eyes were on Kate, who, as Princess of Wales, is the second most senior woman in Britain after Queen Camilla.
She faced various style challenges for the weekend’s festivities, including luncheons, receptions, and concerts.
