The Princess of Wales has made a subtle nod to British fashion mogul Victoria Beckham on the launch day of Victoria’s Netflix docuseries.
During an engagement to promote an initiative from her Centre for Early Childhood on Thursday 9 October, Catherine opted for an ensemble from Victoria’s design label.

The outfit choice came on the same day Victoria celebrated the launch of her new self-titled docuseries.
The night before, Victoria attended the star-studded event with her family (except for her son Brooklyn Peltz Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz who live in the United States).

Other big names at the event included actress and close friend of Beckham’s Eva Longoria and former Spice Girls Geri Halliwell, Melanie C and Emma Bunton.
One member of the popular ’90s girl group, Mel B was notably not in attendance at the event.
During the premiere event, Beckham made a moving speech about the journey of filming the documentary.
“You know, it’s taken me this process to really be proud of what I’ve achieved and to realise finally that I am enough,” she said, per People.

In the three-part docuseries, Beckham has opened up about her life and career, sharing never-before-heard details about her struggles to build her fashion empire and her eating disorder.
During the series, the Spice Girl-turned-designer was candid about her life and credited her partner of more than 27 years, David Beckham, for helping her through the tumultuous years.
However, perhaps one of her biggest recent struggles the couple have faced – the family’s growing rift with eldest son Brooklyn Beckham – was completely skipped.

As for Catherine’s subtle nod to Beckham’s new career milestone, she and Prince William have long held a close connection with the designer and her husband David Beckham.
David and Victoria attended both Prince William and Catherine’s wedding and Catherine regularly wears designs from Victoria’s label.
On the same day as her recent engagement, Catherine spoke about the importance of putting down screens around kids in a personal essay released on Thursday, titled The Power of Human Connection in a Distracted World.
“Look the people you care about in the eye and be fully there – because that is where love begins,” she said.
The mum-of-three collaborated with adult development researcher Robert Waldinger to warn that technology is contributing to an epidemic of disconnection that’s hurting family relationships.

“We sit together in the same room while our minds are scattered across dozens of apps, notifications, and feeds,” the authors wrote.
“We’re physically present but mentally absent, unable to fully engage with the people right in front of us.”
Devices that promise to keep us connected often do the opposite, they said in the essay posted on the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood website.
