The new Princess of Wales is making a series of ‘subtle tributes’ to Princess Diana in her choice of outfits, that’s the view of a leading royal fashion designer. Amanda Wakeley, who has dressed many royals, including both Diana and Catherine, believes that the latter’s skill is ‘owning’ her look.
‘The suit that she wore to the Trooping the Colour this summer, honestly that could have been out of Diana’s wardrobe,’ she tells a special fashion episode of Palace Confidential. ‘She owns it as hers, it’s not a pastiche of how Diana would have worn it, she’s owning her look which is a wonderful look. I love those subtle tributes to her mother-in-law.’
Meanwhile, the Daily Mail’s Royal Editor Rebecca English discusses the Princess of Wales evolution from Kate Middleton to the Princess of Wales, which culminated, she believes, at this year’s Coronation.
‘For me, there was a real - on a fashion level - stop in your tracks moment at the Coronation, when she got into Westminster Abbey,’ she tells the show. ‘She just looked like a Queen in waiting to me. It was so elegant, so polished, so regal I thought “she’s got it”.’
The pair also discuss Camilla’s fashion journey to the Queen, how the King is adapting to his ‘grandfather-of-the-nation’ role style-wise and the Duchess of Sussexes claims about stifling royal clothing protocols.
