Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, was a vision in blue as she attended the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey today, March 14. For the occasion, the royal wore a Catherine Walker coat dress, which she teamed with a matching pillbox hat and navy heels.
Kate often favors Chelsea-based designer Catherine Walker for formal occasions, with the royal wearing a grey coat dress by the brand for a recent trip to Copenhagen, too. It’s the second time in the space of a week that the royal has chosen to wear blue: last Wednesday, the Duchess opted for an Alexander McQueen jumper in the color of the Ukrainian flag for a visit to London’s Ukrainian Cultural Centre.

Later this week, the couple will embark on a 12-day tour of the Caribbean that will see them visiting Belize, Jamaica, and the Bahamas in honor of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. Expect to see Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, once again mastering the art of diplomatic dressing then.
