Princess Kate’s outfit at this year’s Trooping the Colour sparked online debate and media speculation, with conflicting reports over whether her coat dress was green or blue.
The Princess of Wales was seen arriving at Buckingham Palace alongside Prince William and their three children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
As images circulated, several outlets, including The Sun and The Express, reported that Kate was dressed in green. However, GB News later clarified that she wore the “Bria” coat dress by Catherine Walker in a shade labeled “aquamarine,” which leans more toward blue.
Fans Weigh In on Social Media
The color confusion quickly spread to social media, where royal watchers offered varying opinions.
One user questioned: “That’s not green. Turquoise, teal, or aqua even. Not green.”
Another added: “Catherine Walker coat dress in ‘deep aquamarine’ is how the designer describes it.”
A third observer remarked: “I don’t think that is green, looks more turquoise, but I guess we will know for sure later on!”
Some were more blunt, with one fan writing: “Green???” while another responded with a single word: “Blue.” Others concluded: “I’d say it is aquamarine.”
Coordinated Family Look
Princess Kate, 43, completed her ensemble with a blue hat by milliner Juliette Botterill, along with the Irish Guards Regimental Brooch, recognizing her honorary military title.
She also wore a pair of earrings that previously belonged to Queen Elizabeth II, adding a sentimental and regal touch to her appearance.
Princess Charlotte, 10, wore a coordinating outfit in blue and white, echoing her mother’s tones.
She also accessorized with a small horseshoe-shaped brooch—an heirloom once owned by the Queen Mother and later passed down to Charlotte by Queen Elizabeth II. Charlotte had first worn the cherished piece during the Queen’s state funeral in 2022.
While the precise hue of Kate’s coat dress remains a matter of interpretation due to lighting and image variation, the overall look reflected careful coordination and royal elegance.
The family’s unified color palette and thoughtful use of symbolic accessories made a graceful statement at this year’s ceremonial event.
