Kate Wows in Blue Dress at Royal Easter, But Feud with Meghan Over Designer Continues
The Royal Family celebrated Easter Sunday in style, with Princess Kate leading the way in a stunning blue dress by designer Airedem.
The Duchess of Cambridge looked poised and elegant as she attended the Easter matins service at St George's Chapel in Windsor with her husband Prince William and their three children.
Kate's Mayfair number was figure-skimming and perfect for the spring sunshine.
She paired it with an electric blue pillbox hat from Locke & Co., sapphire and pearl drop earrings set in a gold clasp, and her iconic diamond and sapphire engagement ring, formerly owned by Princess Diana.
However, all eyes were on Kate's daring scarlet manicure, which broke Royal etiquette rules.
Fans were surprised to see the usually rule-abiding Royal take a fashion risk.

Kate's daughter, Princess Charlotte, also looked adorable in a smart floral dress from Rachel Riley and pastel blue tights.
Meanwhile, Prince George and Prince Louis looked equally smart in matching navy suit jackets.
But while Kate's fashion choices were admired by many, there was tension behind the scenes.
A new report reveals that a feud between Kate and Meghan Markle over a London designer began long before their public falling out.
In 2017, designer Ed Moraleoglu caused a rift between the sisters-in-law when Markle suddenly found herself persona non grata at one of her favourite labels.
Middleton had an arrangement to receive VIP access to Moraleoglu's outfits, also favoured by Nicole Kidman, Naomi Watts, and Claire Foy.
According to The Telegraph, there was a family fashion hierarchy when it came to the Royals getting first dibs on designers.
Middleton, who had been a long-time fan of Moraleoglu's label, continued to receive priority even after Markle became engaged to Prince Harry.
Markle had also been a fan of the designer, wearing his designs while working on the Canada-filmed legal drama Suits.
She stepped out in the brand's Divina dress from the 2015 fall-slash-winter collection during an appearance on the Today show in 2016, re-wearing the frock for a Christmas lunch with the late Queen in 2018.
Moraleoglu's Ed M label was established in 2005 and quickly became known for its romantic floral prints and elegantly understated sequined dresses.
Middleton famously wore the designer's looks on a number of Royal engagements, including a midi off-the-shoulder frock with frayed edges and a fluted skirt in 2018, and as an anchor designer while pregnant with Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
Despite the feud over the London designer, Kate's impeccable style remains unrivalled.
She is known for her perfectly coordinated accessories and adherence to Royal rules and regulations.
While Meghan may have missed out on wearing Moraleoglu's designs, Kate continues to stun in her favourite designers, including Catherine Walker, who designed the sapphire-hued coat dress she wore to the Easter matins service.
As the Royal Family continues to make headlines, all eyes will be on their fashion choices and the ongoing tensions behind the scenes.
But for now, Princess Kate remains a fashion icon and a source of inspiration for fans around the world.
