Kate Middleton’s Anzac Day style in 2026 drew strong comparisons to Princess Diana and featured a navy coat dress with white accents, plus Diana’s sapphire jewelry and a poppy pin. She led the London commemorations, including a wreath at the Cenotaph, and wore a coordinating navy hat for a somber, regal look.[1][3][7]
