Cronan credits Catherine’s current preference for block coloured blazers from Alexander McQueen, with the occasional budget Zara purchase thrown in, to Queen Elizabeth’s hi-vis fashion philosophy.

“She knows that being seen is an important part of the job and they suit her figure. Queen Rania and Queen Letizia have similar fashion philosophies. Coat dresses are also a popular part of her wardrobe because they photograph well.”
Unlike Queen Elizabeth, Catherine prefers her blow-dry to big hats, reserving statement millinery for formal events.
“Everything is well considered,” Cronan says. “Even the touching tributes to Princess Diana. When Catherine wore a polka dot dress from Alessandra Rich to Ascot, a favourite print of Diana’s, it was done with absolute confidence.”
There is a stable of designers that Catherine relies on, in the same way Diana looked to Bruce Oldfield and Catherine Walker and the Queen commissioned her dresser Angela Kelly. For evening events, Jenny Packham, who created Catherine’s memorable sequinned gown for the London premiere of the Bond movie No Time To Die, Alessandra Rich and Alexander McQueen are on high rotation.
“She now owns a Chanel jacket, so perhaps we will see more European labels,” Cronan says. In the past Catherine has also worn outfits from Dolce & Gabbana, Beulah, The Vampire’s Wife and Roland Mouret. “I think it’s important that she supports British labels. Now that British luxury brand Burberry has a new creative director she might be seen in more of their clothes.”
As a mother-of-three with plenty of long service leave as a member of the royal Firm, Catherine is making the clothes, no matter the name on the tag, her own.
“She is the ultimate cherry-picker. I don’t think her clothes come straight off the runway,” says Thompson. “Catherine exudes her own style and personality and elevates the designer at the same time.”
