Following up a hard week full of engagements, Kate Middleton may have put more than a brave face out. In her two appearances, she shone in pink, a color that is trendy and full of meaning.

It’s said that pink is the color of universal love of oneself and of others, and that it represents friendship, affection, harmony, inner peace, and approachability. Right feelings and words for the current moment.

The coat is believed to be from brand Max&co which she paired with a wide-leg pair of black trousers from Jigsaw and block-heeled pumps from Emmy London. Perfect. The scalloped knit from Broden is also beautiful.

Today, prince William joined his wife. In a rare candid moment, he did comment on his brother’s and sister in law’s comments, defending his family as non-racists and admitting he didn’t speak to Harry yet, but he will. Hopefully they will patch things up somehow.

Remember Kate in other days in pink!
