At this year’s Trooping the Colour, Princess Charlotte escaped a matchy-matchy moment, wearing an off-white dress by Alessandra Rich. Charlotte’s triple-strand pearl bracelet was the only double-up with Catherine.Catherine’s nods to Diana’s enduring style are becoming as familiar as the sight of Princess Anne on a horse.
