Royal Style: Kate and Charlotte's Matching Outfits

Kate Middleton and Princess Charlotte frequently coordinate their outfits for public appearances. The Princess of Wales and her daughter often match their outfits for significant royal events. This includes Charlotte's 2015 christening, where Kate wore a white Alexander McQueen coatdress that coordinated with Charlotte's off-white dress. They have also matched for Trooping the Colour ceremonies in various years, choosing shades of pink and blue. The duo notably wore blue during a 2016 visit to Canada and white for a ski trip that same year. Other coordinated looks include red outfits for Christmas 2016 and pale hues for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's 2018 wedding. More recent appearances, such as the 2024 'Together at Christmas' carol service and the 2025 Christmas walk at Sandringham, continued this trend with matching red and brown ensembles, respectively.

The mother-daughter duo established their matching style early in Princess Charlotte's public life. One of the first notable instances occurred in 2015.

Charlotte's Christening

For Charlotte's christening in 2015, the Princess of Wales wore a white Alexander McQueen coatdress and a statement hat designed by Jane Taylor. Her monochromatic outfit coordinated with Charlotte's off-white christening dress.

Trooping the Colour 2016

Charlotte made her first appearance at Trooping the Colour in June 2016. She wore a pink dress and shoes, along with a pink barrette. This ensemble coordinated with Kate's Philip Treacy hat, which she wore with a white dress.

Canada Visit and Ski Trip

Later in 2016, the pair wore blue for a visit to Canada. Kate wore a long-sleeved Jenny Packham dress with a collared neckline, paired with a floral hat and a maple leaf brooch. The blue outfit complemented Charlotte's light-blue dress. Earlier that year, they stood out in white for a ski trip. Kate wore a white ski jacket, while Charlotte wore a small, white ski suit.

In 2017 and 2018, the coordinated looks continued at high-profile events and during international travel.

Weddings and Tours

For Pippa Middleton's 2017 wedding, Charlotte wore a white flower girl dress with a blush ribbon. Kate wore an Alexander McQueen hat and headpiece that matched the color of the belt on Charlotte's dress. During a 2017 trip to Poland and Germany, Kate matched Charlotte and Prince George in a blue A-line dress. Charlotte's floral dress and dark-blue shoes coordinated with her mother's dress.

Trooping the Colour 2017 and 2018

The pair wore pink together at Trooping the Colour in 2017. Charlotte wore a pink dress with a ruffled collar, while Kate wore a bubblegum-pink Alexander McQueen dress with a matching hat. They opted for light-blue outfits at the 2018 event. Kate wore a light-blue Alexander McQueen dress, and Charlotte wore a blue, floral dress.

Prince Harry's Wedding

Both wore pale hues at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding in 2018. Kate's Alexander McQueen dress was technically yellow, but it flowed seamlessly with Charlotte's white flower-girl dress.

In recent years, Kate and Charlotte have maintained their tradition of matching outfits at holiday services and royal engagements.

2019 Events

For a casual day in 2019, both wore pink, patterned dresses. Kate's short-sleeve dress was bright pink, while Charlotte's was paler. Later that year, for the annual Christmas walk at Sandringham, Charlotte wore a deep-green jacket that coordinated with Kate's purse, shoes, and hat.

2022 Services

The mother and daughter wore the same shade of blue to an Easter service in April 2022. Kate wore an Emilia Wickstead coatdress, while Charlotte wore a bright-blue Rachel Riley frock. Both also wore maroon coats to the 2022 'Together at Christmas' Carol Service. Kate wore a maroon Epinone coatdress, and Charlotte wore a maroon jacket with a fuzzy collar.

2023 and 2024 Engagements

The family wore blue ensembles to the 2023 Easter service at Windsor Castle. Kate wore a royal-blue Catherine Walker coatdress, and Charlotte wore a floral dress with blue tights. In June 2024, they wore navy and white ensembles at Trooping the Colour. Kate wore a white Jenny Packham dress with navy detailing, and Charlotte's dress was navy with white detailing. Later that year, they wore red jackets at the 2024 'Together at Christmas' carol service and green and blue tartan for the Sandringham Christmas walk.

The trend of coordinated fashion continued into 2025 with appearances at Trooping the Colour, Wimbledon, and the annual Christmas walk.
