The Queen, the Duchess of Cornwall and Princess Anne wore green to commemorate the Duke of Edinburgh at his special Westminster Abbey service – discover the symbolic reason
March 29, 2022 - 13:01 BST Kate Thomas Members of the royal family including the Duchess of Cornwall, Princess Anne and the Queen herself opted to wear green to attend Prince Philip's special service of thanksgiving, held at Westminster Abbey on Tuesday.
Shunning traditional black garments, the senior royals instead paid a subtle tribute to the late Duke of Edinburgh, whose livery colour was Edinburgh Green. The symbolic choice was a fitting way to remember the Queen's late husband as the colour was used over the years for things like his staff liveries and private cars, including the driving carriage at his funeral last April.The shade could also celebrate his long-standing association with the Rifles Regiment, who wear a green uniform.
However, other members of the royal family opted for different colour schemes, with Zara Tindall donning a sombre navy look, Princess Eugenie sporting dark florals, and Duchess Kate looking beautiful in a polka dot Alessandra Rich number.Also in attendance at Tuesday's special service were Prince Charles, the Countess of Wessex, Princess Beatrice, as well as European royals including King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain.
Prince George and Princess Charlotte were also present in honour of their great-grandfather, marking the first time the youngsters have attended a major public church service.
