Prince William’s wife visited the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire to commemorate Armistice Day on 11 November
he Princess of Wales looked suitably elegant on 11 November when she stepped out in Staffordshire to visit the National Memorial Arboretum to commemorate Armistice Day with a Service of Remembrance on the Armed Forces Memorial. Prince William’s wife, 43, mastered the sombre dress code in an extremely dignified black coat dress. The shin-skimming garment by Catherine Walker featured military-style buttons running down the bodice with fringed detailing. It also featured boxy shoulders and a Peter Pan collar.
The elegant coatdress was paired with a saucer-style hat, which, I know from having covered her every fashion move this year at HELLO!, is definitely her largest headwear choice from 2025 to date. It was also black and featured a subtle bow. The daughter-in-law of King Charles also wore black block-heel boots with a pointed toe and gloves for the chilly November weather and pinned two poppies to her coat.
