Royal fans all gush over ‘radiant’ Kate as Princess Wales wears statement dress on hospital visit

IT might be a windy, gloomy day outside, but the Princess of Wales provided some much needed sunshine in a yellow dress on a royal visit on Wednesday.

Kate looked radiant in a £219 Karen Millen dress as she visited the Royal Surrey County Hospital’s maternity unit to hear about the holistic support it provides to pregnant women and new mothers.

The Structured Crepe Forever Pleat Belted Midi Dress featured a belt around the middle to highlight Kate’s tiny waist, and she teamed it with a navy clutch bag and heels.

Her brunette hair was left in her favourite loose style, while her make-up was effortlessly elegant as always.

And despite the fact that the dress was in a shade many women avoid – namely mustard – Kate pulled it off with ease, with royal fans taking to social media to praise her timeless sense of style

“The Princess of Wales looks RADIANT today, absolute SUNSHINE,” one wrote on Twitter.

Others speculated that Kate’s choice of outfit may have been a subtle tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II, who often chose to wear yellow for official events.

Back in May, the late monarch opted for a Stewart Parvin yellow coat and matching hat as she officially open the completed Elizabeth line at London’s Paddington station.
