The Princess of Wales exuded elegance on Wednesday, December 3rd, as she and Prince William greeted German Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and his wife at Heathrow. The royal couple then accompanied the dignitaries to Windsor Castle for a formal welcome by King Charles and Queen Camilla.

For the occasion, Kate, 43, chose a striking new ensemble featuring an indigo blue coat dress by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. This was worn over a black Burberry dress. Her hair was styled sleek and straight, a noticeable contrast to her typically voluminous curls, and her mane glistened in the sunlight.

Completing her sophisticated appearance, the Princess of Wales donned a blue hat. Her jewelry choice included a pair of sparkling earrings, a poignant and cherished accessory that previously belonged to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, adding a personal touch to the state occasion.
