Kate, also known as Catherine, wore a red Jenny Packham dress with a Peter Pan collar to present her baby boy to the world on Monday evening, less than eight hours after giving birth. People originally thought the colour choice was because Princess Diana also wore this colour combination when leaving the hospital with Prince Harry but it turns out there's another possible reason. The 23 April marks St George's Day and the colours red and white are traditionally worn by those celebrating the feast day.
