Queen Camilla also opted for white today as she wowed in a coat dress and white and black hat. She also wore white gloves and a white clutch bag. The king wore a navy pinstriped suit.
Royal fans were stunned by Kate’s look today as one person gushed on X: “Princess of Wales looks stunning today.”
Another wrote: “The Princess of Wales looking her ever elegant self at the VE Day service in Westminster Abbey… love her dress!”
Someone else added: “The Princess of Wales looks beautiful as always.”
Others said the dress was a subtle nod to her late mother-in-law Princess Diana, who also seemed to be a fan of white and black polka dot looks for royal events.

They also attended a military parade to mark the anniversary. But it was Prince Louis, seven, who stole the show at the events thanks to his funny faces and antics.
In one moment, he was seen hilariously mimicking his older brother Prince George, 11, by flicking his hair dramatically.
The royal youngster was also spotted dusting off his father William’s uniform during the parade.
