Princess of Wales Wears Alexander McQueen Coat and Chanel Bag for Sultan of Oman's State Visit

Catherine, the Princess of Wales, welcomed the Sultan of Oman to Windsor Castle on the first day of his three-day state visit, wearing a bottle-green Alexander McQueen coat and a quilted Chanel flap bag. The coat had previously been worn at the Irish Guards' St Patrick's Day parade, while the Chanel bag—described as a "squashed" flap bag—was first carried in the spring to the enthronement ceremony for Dame Sarah Mullally. The appearance reflects her practice of rewearing failsafe looks from British labels such as Emilia Wickstead, Burberry, and Alexander McQueen. Recently, she has favored a more casual approach with Barbour jackets and Me+Em knitwear, but the week's official engagements are expected to bring formal British-brand looks back into focus.
