The Princess of Wales captivated attention at the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey—but some royal watchers suspect her outfit may have carried a deeper meaning.
Recently returning to royal engagements after her battle with cancer, Princess Catherine has been making headlines with her fashion choices. For this occasion, she dazzled in a bold red Catherine Walker coat dress, complemented by a matching Gina Foster pillbox hat, standing out among the senior royals.
While many admired her elegant ensemble, speculation quickly arose that the vibrant red was more than just a fashion statement—it may have been a subtle nod to Canada, a Commonwealth nation currently in a diplomatic dispute with U.S. President Donald Trump.
Was Red a Statement of Support for Canada?
Social media users were quick to analyze the Princess’s color choice, linking it to Canada’s national flag, which prominently features red.
One user wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “I can’t help thinking that Catherine, Princess of Wales, chose red for Canada.” Another chimed in: “Thank you to the Princess of Wales for wearing #Canada’s colour today!!”
A third speculated: “I’d love to believe she’s wearing red as a nod to Canada….” while another user pointedly asked: “I notice Princess Catherine is wearing all red. Is that a sign of support for Canada?”
The outfit choice comes at an intriguing time, amid rising tensions between Canada and the U.S. following Donald Trump’s controversial suggestion that Canada should become America’s “51st state.”
Though Princess Catherine has made no public statements regarding the situation, her decision to wear Canada’s signature color at such a high-profile event has only fueled speculation.
Was this a subtle message of support in response to Trump’s remarks? Or was it simply a stylish coincidence?
