The Tamesis
Kate Middleton visited Leicester, England today to celebrate the city’s Indian community one day after the Hindu festival of Holi. For the occasion, the Princess of Wales chose an all-white ensemble, consisting of a custom-made coat by Chris Kerr and a matching pleated midi dress, which she paired with brown heels and gold tassel earrings by Sézane.
Upon arriving at choreographer Aakash Odedra’s dance studio, Aakash Odedra Company, Kate received a garland of roses, a symbol of respect and honor in Indian culture. After watching a dance rehearsal, the royals went on to visit a number of businesses in Leicester’s Golden Mile, including an Indian fashion boutique. Later in the day, Kate visited the Hindu temple Shreeji Dham Haveli, where she received another garland and a yellow silk scarf.
It’s been a busy few weeks for Kate Middleton, who visited Powys, Wales, with the Prince of Wales last Thursday to mark St David’s Day. For the occasion, despite the rain, Kate re-wore her Alexander McQueen by Sarah Burton coat in her current favorite burgundy colour. Over the weekend, the couple gave their first joint address entirely in Welsh to mark the country’s patron saint day – the princess chose a pleated houndstooth maxi dress by Alessandra Rich (another dress to re-wear, of course) with puffed sleeves, buttons and a feminine collar, all in the colors of the Welsh dragon.
Meanwhile, at the end of February, Kate made her first BAFTA appearance in three years, opting for a custom dusty pink Gucci dress that she wore to the 2019 Women in Finance dinner. As spring arrives and the annual Easter ritual approaches, we’ll soon be seeing more of the princess and her family.
