I wondered why Catherine chose blue instead of red, white or green (the Italian flag colours) and found out the following per Wikipedia:

Savoy blue (Italian: blu Savoia) or Savoy azure (azzurro Savoia), also known as Italian blue (blu italiano), is a shade of saturated blue between peacock blue and periwinkle, lighter than peacock blue.[1] Since the Middle Ages, it has been the colour of the House of Savoy, the royal dynasty of the Kingdom of Italy from 1861 to 1946, as well as of its predecessor state, the Kingdom of Sardinia–Piedmont.

Having become a National symbol of Italy with the Risorgimento (1859–70), its use continued even after the birth of the Italian Republic (1946) under the name Italian blue. Currently, it is featured in the Presidential Standard of Italy, the sashes for the Italian Armed Forces' officers and the presidents of the Provinces of Italy during the official ceremonies, and the blue jersey for Italian national sports teams.

How very smart of her to go with this reference instead of the more direct flag reference!

I think it would be crazy to think that Catherine the Princess of Wales, some day to be Queen of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth, would base any of her decisions on anything to do with Meghan NFI Markle. I think that train left the station years ago once Markle showed her true colors. I am pretty sure Markle is nothing but an annoying gnat to Catherine. One that she may need bug spray for, but not someone she thinks about anymore deeply than we think about gnats when we walk outside.

The Australian trip was a failure, the lack of a Met Gala ticket was a failure, the Netflix debacles have been a failure, her new reels are immediate failures. Thus there is nothing for Catherine to be “upstaging”. Markle and Hazno have lost the plot, as ever.

If there’s any truth to the yacht-girling and Fergie knows she could write a book exposing Meghan. Fergie would make a ton of cash off that and the BRF might decry the book but actually wouldn’t mind at all. Do you think it’s possible? I think it sounds kind of brilliant!
