Days after Meghan and Harry’s bombshell Oprah interview, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited School 21 in Stratford for their first in-person engagement of 2021.
After a bruising few days for the Royal family, Kate’s uplifting pink coat and jumper were perfectly judged, offering a light and optimistic message. Both pieces were from Boden so were a show of support for a British brand at a time when many had been struggling with the effects of a third lockdown.
Was there a deeper meaning behind the Duchess’s decision to wear pink? Some speculated that she had chosen the colour traditionally associated with anti-bullying campaigns as a retort to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s accusations. Whether it had that intention or not, it certainly set a trend for pink being one of the most fashionable hues of the year.
