Royal Shockwave: Princess Kate’s £4K Accessory Ignites Fierce Online Firestorm!

The Princess of Wales’ £4k accessory was controversial
Dressing for the occasion takes on a whole new meaning when you’re the Princess of Wales; not only does she ensure she wears appropriate footwear and elegant clothing that abide by royal rules, but she also regularly pays tribute to the host or event.
That may mean donning the nation’s colours for royal tours, or most recently, wearing Jewish designers for her outing to mark Holocaust Memorial Day. But did you spot the accessory that divided fans?
Kate joined her husband Prince William at a reception held for around 50 Holocaust survivors at the Guildhall in London on the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Black Roland Mouret flares, a black Boden cashmere jumper and a smart Catherine Walker coat made up her sombre outfit accessorised with a Chanel Mini Flap bag, which retails for £4,080.
The latter sparked controversy due to founder and French designer Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel’s historical connections to Nazi collaborators in the Second World War.
