Princess Kate's navy blue Alexander McQueen suit holds a deep meaning to the royal as she stepped out in style this afternoon.
The mother-of-three visited the newly opened V&A East Storehouse in East London, sporting a sophisticated McQueen trouser suit and a £142 Portrait Necklace from Laura Lombardi.
Kate, 43, sent a strong message by rewearing the designer suit, which she last wore in December 2023, shortly before stepping back from public life to focus on her health.
McQueen's leaf crepe jacket in electric navy and matching cigarette suit trousers are sadly no longer in stock for royal fans to purchase.

Kate completed the ensemble with £650 Gianvito Rossi 85 pumps in navy suede, which the future Queen has not worn since 2021.
The princess styled her brunette hair with blonde highlights in loose waves and opted for minimal, dewy makeup for the engagement at the buzzy East London venue.
During her behind-the-scenes tour, Kate explored the museum's unprecedented collection of more than 600,000 treasures spanning fashion, film, visual art, design and performance.
The princess viewed the world's largest Picasso work, a massive canvas measuring 30 metres by 40 metres that has remained rolled up in storage for most of the past 80 years.

The V&A East Storehouse provides visitors with free public access to the museum's renowned collection. Kate engaged with the new 'Order an Object' service, which allows anyone to book a complimentary appointment for a one-on-one session with a Collections Access team member to view objects up close.
A Kensington Palace spokesman said: "Her Royal Highness' engagement today is all about highlighting the importance of creative opportunity and celebrating the power of creativity to bring us joy."
The Storehouse, created in partnership with young people and inspired by East London's creative heritage, represents a new kind of museum experience. Spanning four levels and larger than 30 basketball courts, the facility allows visitors to see behind the scenes of a working museum.
Glass and barriers have been removed wherever possible, enabling closer access to objects than ever before. All Collections Access team members have been recruited from the local area.
