The royal paired the lavish outerwear garment with a grey-green turtleneck jumper, sparking style inspiration among her fashion followers. She stepped out in a pair of suede, heeled boots which quite literally elevated the ensemble.
As always, Kate mesmerised with her beauty look of choice. She wore her silky chocolate tresses down loose and parted to the side while opting for a natural yet radiant makeup palette. A pair of glittering drop earrings peppered the look with an extra dose of dazzle.

During the occasion, Kate gave a sapling a start in life at Westminster Abbey, one of more than a million trees planted under the Queen’s Green Canopy (QGC) project across the UK and Commonwealth.
The QGC was established to mark the Queen’s 70-year reign with the public invited to "Plant a Tree for the Jubilee."

The project was due to conclude in December at the end of the Jubilee year but, following the wishes of the King, the initiative’s patron, it has been extended to the end of March 2023 to give people the opportunity to plant trees in memory of the late monarch who died in September.
More than a million trees have been planted in the Queen’s name during the October 2021 to March 2022 planting season.
