Queen Elizabeth, Camilla and Letizia at memorial: This is why royal guests wore green

It’s a sad day for the UK: On March 29, 2022, a memorial service for Prince Philip, 99, who died in April 2021, will be held at Westminster Abbey. Not only did the UK royals get together for this, they said goodbye to Queen Maxima, 50, and Queen Letizia, 49. Youngest members of the royal family, such as Princess Charlotte, 6, Prince George, 8, and Mia Grace Tindall, 8, daughter of Zara and Mike Tindall, also appear at the memorial service in London.

Princess Charlotte and Mia Grace Tindall present themselves as a closed unit

Today it shouldn’t have been easy, especially for the little ones. It would have been better if Duchess Catherine, 40, and Prince William, 39, held their two children by the hand at the entrance to the chapel. A gesture that might say: “We can do this together.”

Visually, Mini-Royals represents a closed unit. Charlotte and Mia Grace, granddaughters of Prince Philip, appear in dark blue military coats. It’s hard to believe that this is a coincidence as her grandfather held many higher military ranks due to his military career and position in the royal family. The Mia Grace Tindall version originally belonged to her cousin Savannah Phillips, 11, but she may have outgrown the coat by now.

Members of the royal family choose clothes in green, blue and black

While members of the younger royal family wear blue ensembles, Queen Elizabeth, 95, The Duchess Camilla, 74, Princess Anne, 71, and many of the female guests at the memorial ceremony wear green overcoats. Certainly no coincidence, the dark green shade is also better known among the royal family as Prince Philip’s official color: both the staff uniforms and private cars of the late Queen Elizabeth’s husband shone in ‘Edinburgh’s Green’. Prince Philip’s coffin was carried in a green Land Rover at his funeral last April.

Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice in elegant looks

In addition to Duchess Catherine’s polka dot dress, Princess Eugenie, 32, also wears a polka dot dress. She opted for a red and white floral pleated Erdem dress, which made her look a little out of the ordinary. Her sister, Princess Beatrice, 33, wears a gray and blue coat and burgundy Gianvito Rossi velvet shoes.

Queen Elizabeth’s jewelry

The 95-year-old Queen Elizabeth wears an especially beautiful tribute on her poncho green dress: the Grima Ruby brooch was a gift from her late husband in 1966. It consists of recycled diamonds and sapphires. The Queen wore the same brooch for her platinum wedding anniversary photo in 2017.
