The Princess of Wales stepped out on June 18, 2021, at Kensington Palace for the launch of The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood. The Princess looked fabulous in a lilac LK Bennett midi dress but was suddenly caught in some downpour when a rainy spell struck. 

Fortunately, the stylish royal's team were able to jump into action and quickly provided the Princess with a bold umbrella to use to shield herself from the rain. The Princess held a rainbow umbrella with 16 panels made from different colours that added a fun pop of colour to her look and brightened up the dreary day.

As June is Pride month this may have also been a subtle way that the Princess could show her support for the LGBTQ+ movement. Catherine is most commonly pictured with a plain black umbrella, and this switch to rainbow was certainly a notable switch.

While it's not known exactly which brand the Princess's style team bought her umbrella from, there are a number of duplicates of this style of umbrella which are available to purchase at a number of stores. 

Amazon has an exact copy of this umbrella that's available to purchase for less than £10, and it's the perfect accessory to emulate the Princess's style during the unseasonably rainy weather.
