As she entered the event, Catherine exuded elegance and confidence. She chose a deep red coat designed by Catherine Walker, which featured a large bow that accentuated her look. This was not the first time she had worn the design; she previously wore it to celebrate the royal anthem at Westminster Abbey in 2021. Catherine loved the design so much that she also owns a black one, which she wore to Prince Philip's funeral.
To complete the look, she paired it with red suede heels by Janita Rosi and carried a red clutch, which rounded out her striking look. The colour red was significant as it featured prominently on the South Korean flag, showing her respect for her guests. Catherine added a pair of sapphire and diamond drop earrings that once belonged to the late Diana, Princess of Wales, which complemented her iconic engagement ring, another piece that once belonged to Diana.
During the reception, William and Catherine shared a sweet moment captured on video. Footage showed them admiring Korean cultural artifacts with the Duchess of Edinburgh while chatting with guests. As the event came to a close, an aide approached to signal that it was time to leave. In a tender gesture, William gently placed his hand on Catherine's back, and she returned the gesture affectionately as they walked hand in hand through the palace.
Their natural connection was evident, and fans took to social media to express their admiration. Commenters highlighted their genuine love for each other, noting that they were a devoted couple when the cameras weren't rolling. Catherine and William recently appeared closer than ever in a heartfelt video marking a major milestone in her health journey. On September 9, Catherine shared that she had completed a difficult health journey, which resonated deeply.
A glimpse into their family life, there are clips of Catherine with William and their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis filmed over the summer at their country home. Heartwarming moments include the couple lying together, spending time with their children and the family dog, Ora. There are tender interactions throughout the footage, like Catherine leaning on William's shoulder and him giving her a loving kiss on the cheek.
These candid moments have endeared them to fans. Despite the pressures of the royal family, Catherine and William have shown the strength of their relationship both in public and in private. Catherine's style and composure, combined with the warmth she shared with William, cemented their reputation as England's beloved future king and queen.
