The Duchess of Cambridge looked lovely in primrose yellow when she stepped out for Prince Harry and Meghan’s wedding on Saturday

Catherine, 36, wore a primrose yellow silk tailored coat by Alexander McQueen — the label behind her own wedding gown — which has proven to be a staple of her wardrobe.

She was first seen in the designer piece for the christening of Princess Charlotte back in July 2015, and then wore it again a year later for the Trooping of the Colour in June 2016.

For Harry and Meghan’s wedding, Catherine paired the coast dress with a Philip Treacy hat and a pair of Jimmy Choo heels.

Sticking to her signature style, the duchess was a picture of elegance and sophistication. Catherine wore her thick brunette locks in effortless waves for the occasion and kept her makeup to a minimum.

While Catherine was not an official bridesmaid, the mother-of-three could be seen guiding her children Charlotte, three, and George, four, who were bridesmaid and pageboy, down the aisle.

This is the first public appearance that Catherine has made since leaving the hospital after giving birth to her third child, son Prince Louis of Cambridge.

The duchess took her seat alongside Prince Charles and Camilla for the ceremony as her husband Prince William took his place as best man next to the groom.

Camilla wore an elegant pink ensemble with matching a pink hat for the occasion.She completed the look with a cream snakeskin envelope clutch, pearl earrings and a dazzling pearl multi-strand choker.
