Royals looking gorgeous in green

1/23

March 17, 2020

<strong>By Heather Cichowski</strong>
Royals love to wear all colours of the rainbow. Their wardrobes are full of beautiful shades from soft pastels to vivid brights. Royals, like <a href=/tags/0/queen-elizabeth-ii><strong>The Queen</strong></a> and <a href=/tags/0/kate-middleton><strong>Duchess Kate</strong></a>, carry off all the colours with elegance, but one hue that leaves a last impression is green. From lime green to emerald, pistachio green to jade, green is a colour that turns heads!
<p>Green is traditionally the colour of choice for <a href="https://ca.hellomagazine.com/fashion/02016031724559/kate-middleton-green-sensembles-st-patricks-day/1/"><strong>St. Patrick's Day events</a></strong> and for when royals <a href="https://ca.hellomagazine.com/royalty/02020022855393/royals-in-ireland-through-the-years-photos/1/"><strong>visit Ireland</strong></a> or celebrate the Emerald Isle. But, the shade is worn to other engagements to great effect.
