Andrew complimented Kate on her decision to dress in white for the event, stating that she “wants to be seen” on her poignant comeback to the public eye.
“She was wearing white to make sure she’s seen. And that was the Queen’s maxim, wasn’t it? Visibility,” he noted.
Stressing that the Royal Family is about visibility, Andrew mentioned that it is “wonderful to see the family together.”
In a heartwarming mother-daughter tribute, Kate and Princess Charlotte coordinated the color of their outfits to attend the Royal event with a nautical theme.
