While Kate will sign cards and guest books during official duties, members of the royal family do not give public autographs. When fans ask, she politely declines — as she explained at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2022: "My name’s Catherine… I’m not allowed to write my signature — it’s just one of those rules." She and William more often choose selfies, conversations and hands-on moments instead.
The Princess wore a navy Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen coat dress with white lapels and a navy Jane Taylor hat, finished with a poppy pin, navy pumps and a mini DeMellier bag. She also wore sapphire and diamond earrings that once belonged to Princess Diana, a look some noted echoed Diana’s 1995 navy ensemble.
