One of the fashion writers pointed out another slightly queasy parallel between the announcement of the engagement of Prince William to Kate Middleton & that of his parents thirty years ago – Kate’s blue dress was the same colour as that worn by Diana. The coincidence had not occurred to me, even though I watched the announcement of Charles & Diana's engagement live on tv.
Actually this does not make me feel as uncomfortable as the ring – thinking it through it is hard to decide what other colour she might have worn, especially if she wanted to follow the Queen’s example & stick to simple blocks of clear colour for official occasions.
Red, green, yellow or pink? I don’t think so.
