Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton keep wearing navy blue for an important reason
Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton keep wearing navy blue for an important reason..
Arab Gazette - London..
MEGHAN Markle and Kate Middleton have been busy with a number of royal engagements in recent weeks, and many royal fans are starting to notice how the Duchesses keep wearing one particular colour – navy blue. But what’s the reason for this?
Meghan Markle, 37, and Prince Harry, 34, have been very busy with royal visits since their marriage in May.
Likewise Kate Middleton, 36, and Prince William, 36, have made numerous royal engagements since Kate returned to work in October following her maternity leave – she welcomed her third baby Prince Louis in April this year.
And throughout the number of their public outings, many people have begun to notice a similarity in the Duchess of Cambridge and the Duchess of Sussex’s outfits.
Both of the ladies continue to wear a lot of navy blue – be it dresses, skirts or coat dresses which are a favourite style of Kate’s.
Applied Colour Psychology Specialist Karen Haller explained this could be a deliberate decision, telling the Daily Mail the colour blue communicates professionalism.
She said: “When it comes to the psychology of colour, blue relates to the mind. Darker blues relate to trust, logic and knowledge.
“It communicates duty and professionalism and given it’s a more approachable colour than black, maybe why she wore this hue often on her recent 16-day royal tour down under.”
During Harry and Meghan’s two-week long royal tour of Australia, Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand, the Duchess wore eight navy blue outfits – wearing two on their last day.
She also sported a navy Givenchy coat dress at Prince Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank’s wedding in October, days before announcing her pregnancy.
Meanwhile, the Duchess of Cambridge has been pictured in blue ensembles twice this week alone.
For her visit with Prince William to McLaren’s Automotive Centre the mother of Prince George, five, Princess Charlotte, three, and Prince Louis, seven months, re-wore a navy Eponine coat dress.
And days before, for her visit to the Imperial War Museum, Kate stunned in a structured blue Jenny Packham dress.
But it was her navy polkadot Alessandra Rich gown which got everyone talking.
In the portrait of the royal family to mark Prince Charles’ 70th birthday celebrations, the Duchess wore a trendy spotted dress which Ivanka Trump, like many other celebrities, also owns.
And if you thought you recognised the button-up ankle-length dress with a white Peter Pan collar it’s because a plethora of stars have worn the exact same one for numerous occasions this year.
At the royal wedding of Meghan and Prince Harry in May, the Duchess of Sussex’s close friend Abigail Spencer wore the elegant gown with sleek white heels.
It has also been pictured on style icon and Sex and The City star Sarah Jessica Parker.
In July this year Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump wore the gown at an event in Iowa, styling it with a chunky white belt to match the cuffs and collar.
Alessandra Rich launched her business in 2010 and has since become the go-to designer for the royals and politicians – Samantha Cameron wore one of her gowns to visit Barrack and Michelle Obama in 2012 with her then-Prime Minister husband David Cameron.
