Extremely appropriate - the colour of peace, setting off the poppy and TBH the colour choice will have been discussed with the "people" of the Belgian King and Queen and okayed.
(TM could have stood a bit straighter and looked a bit less awkward )

I thought it was appropriate too. Not at all flashy but stylish and showing respect for the occasion. And the poppy stood out.

Got there just before me, Cari.
White is often the symbol for peace, and seems quite fitting.

My only thought is that white is the colour of peace?

I just felt something like navy, maroon or purple would have been more appropriate if she didn't want to wear black.

Have worn a white outfit to the Passchendaele memorial service ?

I know there are far more important things in the world and usually I wouldn't give a flying.... about any royals outfit but I felt this was wholly inapropriate on this occasion.
