My thoughts entirely- those buttons are so distracting. The brooch appears to be an add on. I can't help but think the designer wasn't expecting it to "compete" with the upper section of the coat.
The brooch was designed for the Queen in, I believe, 1954, so no the designer probably didn't have Kate's specific coat in mind
