The Prince and Princess of Wales met with the new Archbishop of Canterbury Dame Sarah Mullally at Lambeth Palace.
Appointed in October 2025, Archbishop Mullally is the first woman to hold the position in the Church of England’s 1,400 year history.
For the occasion, the princess wore a brown palette opting for a monochromatic outfit with a new dress from Edeline Lee.
The London based designer has been a favorite of the princess’ for special occasions like the Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design in 2022; Lee’s clothing is handmade in England with an emphasis on timeless vintage design and a focus on the concept of “Future Lady” dressing.
Kate stepped out in the the long-sleeved version of Edeline Lee’s ‘Jete’ Midi Dress in brown — the Fitted Bodice Godet Panelled Belted Crop Dress.
The Jete Crop Dress features a tailored round neck and fitted sleeveless bodice finished off with a signature belt which the princess modified to coordinate in brown. The skirt flares into generous godet panels and is elegant enough for daytime engagements or evening affairs. (Similar)
Hailing from the designer’s Autumn/Winter 2025 Collection, the Jete Crop Dress is hand-crafted in England from a pebble-textured Flou Bubble Jacquard woven in Italy.
Princess Kate paired the sophisticated dress with a long topcoat from Catherine Walker. (She also owns a navy and black version of the dress coat.) The new topper shares many elements from Walker’s Yves chocolate brown long duster coat.
For heels, she wore her Gianvito Rossi 105 pointed toe pumps in chocolate brown suede.
And for accessories, the mom of three debuted a new heart necklace from Daniella Draper. The future Queen wore a Daniella Draper Keeper’s Heart Trace Chain Necklace (Similar). Handcrafted in England using recycled 9-carat yellow gold the statement necklace symbolizes love and connection.
The princess also wore her Cartier Trinity Classic Model Earrings.
