Kate Middleton opts for a Blue McQueen Coat and Sentimental Jewelry for the German State Visit to the United Kingdom

For the official German state visit on Wednesday, Kate Middleton chose to showcase a previously worn blue McQueen coat during the welcome ceremony for German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and his wife, Elke Buedenbender, held in London and Windsor, England. The event included Prince William, King Charles III, and Queen Camilla.

Middleton complemented her elegant coat with a pair of suede blue Gianvito Rossi boots featuring a modest heel, emphasizing the polished and structured lines of her ensemble. The McQueen coat, first seen on her during Christmas Day services in 2023, combined a tailored upper with a flowing skirt for ease of movement, creating a sophisticated silhouette.

Accessories played a significant role in her look. Middleton carried an Emmy London clutch and wore a teal bow-and-arrow hat by Juliette Millinery, maintaining a cohesive monochrome palette. Her jewelry choice reflected a sentimental touch, including the historic Prince of Wales Feather Brooch and Princess Dianas sapphire and diamond earrings, honoring her late mother-in-law.

This German state visit marks the first in 27 years and will feature ceremonial events, an address to the U.K. Parliament, and a formal banquet, following other high-profile visits hosted by the British royal family throughout 2025.
