Kate wore a red “Finella” dress from Preen by Thornton Bregazzi. The dress, which cost a whopping $1,715, had a beautiful overlap detail at the bodice, flaring into a subtly pleated midi skirt.
The royalty styled her dress with Queen Elizabeth’s maple leaf brooch, a Jenny Packham “Casa Pony” clutch, Soru baroque pearl double-sided earrings, and her favorite Gianvito Rossi suede pumps in red.

The star of the whole ensemble was Kate’s maple leaf diamond brooch, a gift for the Queen Mother from her husband, King George VI, to commemorate their Canadian trip in 1939.
This unique and stunning family heirloom, passed down to Kate, was the perfect choice to complement her outfit during the Canadian tour with Prince William.
