Catherine, Princess of Wales, is well-known for her themed approach to dressing (green for Wimbledon is a regular) and today followed a well-worn playbook of hers by stepping out in a distinctly nautical-themed dress for a trip to Glasgow, with Prince William, for the naming of a Royal Navy warship.

The Princess – known by many as Kate Middleton – is also well known for her dedication to British brands, and having her select favourites. After stepping out in Victoria Beckham recently and Emilia Wickstead earlier this week for a garden party, Catherine opted for another favourite of hers – Suzannah London.

And – as with her other most recent outfits – should you have the budget, her dress is also available to buy, though most sizes are on pre-order currently.

Describing the £1,850 dress the brand says: ‘This garment can be worn alone as a coat-dress. Style with heels for the boardroom or elevate with elegant Jackie O-inspired millinery for special events.’
The Princess oped for her millinery from Philip Treacy – a piece she first wore in 2024 at Trooping The Colour.
According the Mail, christening the boat, the Princess said: ‘I have the pleasure to name this ship HMS Glasgow, may God bless her and all who sail on her’ before smashing a bottle of whisky on the side of the boat.
After a long time out of the public eye while dealing with her cancer diagnosis, the Princess has been involved in a run of events recently – this is her second this week after a Buckingham Palace garden party earlier in the week.
