The choice marked another more subtle tribute to Australia too. Middleton first wore it in Sydney in 2014 during a royal tour of the country with Prince William.
She and has since worn it at the Wimbledon tennis tournament in 2016 where she watched Serena Williams play Elena Vesnina in the women’s semifinals and met Williams’ mother, Oracene Price, before the match. At the time, she teamed the look with her go-to Rupert Sanderson Malory nude pumps.
The royal couple spoke from their Norfolk home where they are isolating with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
They paid tribute to the role of Australia’s emergency service personnel from fighting the bush fires that ravaged the country earlier this year to the health emergency caused by the Coronavirus pandemic.
“Day in, day out, paramedics, police, firefighters and support staff, work tirelessly to keep everybody safe, often risking not only their physical health but also their mental well-being,” Middleton said.
