Kate Middleton: Why The Duchess Of Cambridge Wore Red To Introduce The New Prince

While the Duchess of Cambridge was busy bringing another royal life into the world, her stylist Natasha Archer was otherwise occupied putting together the outfit Kate would wear to introduce said baby to the world.

The choice? A bespoke red shift dress by none other than her go-to designer Jenny Packham - who, by the way, also created custom pieces for the Duchess to showcase both Prince George and Princess Charlotte from the very same steps.

But, as is the case with anything and everything Kate wears, the potential decision-making behind it has kept both fashion fans and royalists entertained ever since.

We break down the three most likely reasons the Duchess plumped for red...

1. A tribute to Princess Diana

While some like to tenuously link everything Kate does to her late mother-in-law Princess Diana, yesterday's suggestion carried more weight than usual.

Thanks to the Jenny Packham number's bold red hue combined with a white Peter Pan collar, many have acknowledged similarities with the dress Diana, Princess of Wales, wore to introduce Prince Harry to the world in 1984.

2. A tribute to St. George's Day

Not only did royal baby number three arrive yesterday, but it was also St. George's Day.
