The secret reason Kate Middleton always wears white to her children’s christenings

THE Duchess of Cambridge wore a white Alexander McQueen outfit to the christening of Prince Louis yesterday.

But this isn't the first time Kate Middleton has worn white to for her children's christenings.

At Prince George's in 2013 she wore a similarly-coloured Sarah Burton dress.

Then, in 2015 at Princess Charlotte's, she also wore another frock by Burton in a cream shade.

And while there is no Royal rule which dictates what Kate can or cannot wear, she's made it her own tradition to always wear white or cream.

And Royal observers think it is because her outfits perfectly match the Royal Christening Gown, worn by all three of her children.

The gown has a short history as it is a replica of the Royal Christening Gown and was made in 2008 by Angela Kelly.

The original was made in 1841 and commissioned by Queen Victoria for her firstborn, Princess Victoria.

It was styled after her own wedding dress, and was made of Spitalfields lace with a Honiton lace overlay.

In her diary Queen Victoria described it as: "A white Honiton point lace robe and mantle over white satin."

She added her daughter looked “very dear” in it.

But there could be another reason Kate favours white or cream - because the shade is also representative of purity, innocence and new beginnings.

Meanwhile, it was also spotted that Kate sported floral pearl earrings at Louis' Christening.

Louis' grandmother, Princess Diana's, favourite flower was the white rose - so the earrings could be a nod to her and the grandchildren she never got to meet.
