Princess Charlotte to 'break tradition' with mourning dress at Queen's funeral

Princess Charlotte may veer from traditional mourning attire for a "softer" approach at the Queen's funeral, according to a fashion coach.

The seven-year-old royal may not wear an entirely black outfit at the service tomorrow, said Miranda Holder, who is known for her viral TikTok style videos.

Miranda said: " Kate has broken with tradition on quite a few levels really over the years and they are setting the trend for the more modern monarchy.

"So it will be interesting to see whether they do full black or just references to and whether Charlotte just has some black accessories, maybe a headband or something like that.

"She might simply wear a dark colour and it might be slightly softer."

Although black is traditionally worn, other dark colours can be worn respectfully, The Express reports.

During the mourning period, both Prince Harry and Prince William have been photographed wearing navy suits with a black tie.

The two brothers stepped out in matching coloured suits to greet well-wishing members of the public at Windsor upon the passing of the Queen.

Miranda, who calls herself Your Feel Good Fashion Coach on TikTok, also references the Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge's outfit for Prince Philip's memorial service.

She wore a black and white polka dot Alessandra Rich dress, which featured long sleeves and silver button embellishment on one shoulder.

As is the tradition at royal events, the skirt hung below the knee.

The style expert said: " Kate Middleton famously wore a polka dot black dress to Prince Philip's funeral, which was a way of making it slightly softer, and almost meeting her children on their level.

"The polka dot print is very playful and fun, and it just took away from the real austerity of the moment.

"However, given the gravitas of this event, I'm not sure she's going to opt for a print this time

"It is obviously a much bigger event for the whole world really. I think she might take a more sombre tone out of respect."

Prince George, slightly older than Charlotte at nine years old, is likely to be dressed more formally, according to Miranda.
