Kate Middleton’s outfit for poignant return had hidden message of ‘warmth’ and ‘strength’

After announcing to her fans that she was cancer-free at the end of last year, Kate Middleton has gradually been resuming her Royal duties. This included a visit to Royal Marsden London to meet patients currently battling their own cancer diagnoses.

Today (January 14), Kate visited The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, where she received treatment following her own cancer diagnosis. For the occasion, the princess donned a sophisticated burgundy midi skirt and matching high neck jumper, with the colour carrying a special hidden meaning.

While burgundy has been a top trending colour in recent seasons, it is also said to symbolise good fortune, warmth, comfort, and strength, making it an apt choice for Kate’s sensitive hospital visit. This marked Kate’s first solo Royal outing since her cancer diagnosis, making it a significant moment for the Princess of Wales.

Kate has also been known to wear various shades of red for other notable occasions, including introducing Prince Louis, honouring Princess Diana, and launching her Shaping Us campaign.

In typical Kate fashion, the outfit was a repeat, having been worn previously during a visit to Cornwall in 2023. On both occasions, Kate donned the Edeline Lee Plait Skirt, still available for purchase at £595, and paired it with Kiltane’s Women’s Cashmere Polo Neck Jumper in Bordeaux shade, now reduced from £129 to £60, although her exact burgundy shade is limited in sizes, reports the Mirror.

If you’re keen to replicate Kate’s style, we’ve found some alternatives that capture the Princess’ elegant look. Ted Baker’s Tamsenn Roll Neck Wool Cashmere Jumper is available in all sizes and currently discounted to £65, while New Look offers the Burgundy High Neck Jumper for £20, down from its usual price of £29.99.

At Finery London, you can find the Ruth Burgundy Ponte Jersey Midi Skirt for £39, which shares a similar A-line silhouette and deep burgundy hue with Kate’s favoured Edeline Lee version. Finery also has the Kelly Burgundy Ponte Jersey Midi Dress for £49, offering a similar head-to-toe cohesive look, albeit without the high neckline of Kate’s stylish ensemble.
