The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have arrived in Wales to spread the Platinum Jubilee spirit. The senior members of the Royal Family arrived in the Welsh capital on Saturday to watch concert rehearsals in Cardiff Castle as part of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

Kate, 40, looked relaxed as she and Prince William visited Cardiff Castle with their two eldest children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

The duchess stunned in a bright red coat dress by British brand Eponine London. It features a standing collar at the neck and hits at Kate’s go-to length, the mid-calf.

Kate wore a navy dress beneath the scarlet coat, seen peeking out beneath the opening, which featured a button-down fastening.

The navy dress beneath matched the smart coat of her daughter, Charlotte, who made her first official visit to Wales on Saturday, along with her older brother, George.

The Duchess of Cambridge has worn red for her public appearances on a whole host of occasions, as was the choice for her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana.

The late-people’s princess would often opt for the scarlet hue for public appearances, and many of her most iconic outfits are in fact the vibrant red shade.

Perhaps taking inspiration from the Queen herself, who reportedly likes to wear vibrant shades so that she can be seen from the crowd, Diana chose red time and time again, from before she entered into the Royal Family, even until after her divorce from Prince Charles was finalised.

And it looks like the Duchess of Cambridge took a leaf out of Diana’s book for the visit to Cardiff Castle on Saturday by choosing red not only for a public appearance, but also for a visit to Wales, where red is one of the most significant national colours.

Not only appearing as the central red dragon on the Welsh flag, the bright scarlet hue shows up in Welsh fabrics throughout history and forms part of the national Welsh dress, a subtle tribute from Kate to the host nation for Saturday’s visit.
