There is a lot that goes into the attires and outfits of the members of the royal family. And it cannot be better explained than the latest royal ensemble worn by the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, on the occasion of St Patrick’s Day. The 41-year-old became the focus of attention on the special event as she took up her new role after her husband, Prince William of Wales. However, what managed to charm the onlookers was the symbolic teal attire that she donned in a tribute to the Irish guards.

Contrary to her usual preference for bluish-green outfits, Middleton was seen in hues of teal at the event. For the occasion, Kate Middleton sported a teal Catherine Walker and Co coat dress. She accessorized the same with matching plums of a strikingly darker shade which, too, held a proper significance for the occasion.

It is no secret that blue is a color of the royals. Back in February, the entire royal family opted for shades of blue for the Queen’s platinum Jubilee. It is a nod to the symbolic color of Ireland. Meanwhile, her plums with the darker bluer version were selected for yet another reason. The color of her heels is reportedly the color of the mantle and sash of the Order of St. Patrick.
