Sparkling in a gorgeous beaded gown for a charity gala

Kate Middleton surprised royals fans when she held a gala dinner at Buckingham Palace in celebration of the 25th anniversary for her patronage Place2Be on March 9. For the occasion, she wore a sapphire blue embellished Jenny Packham gown, Jimmy Choo heels and coordinating blue crystal and pearl earrings from Erdem.

Her earrings were stunning, thanks to the blue crystals and pearls arranged in a swirling design to mimic dainty flowers. The different colours of the earrings played off the rich embroidery in her gown. The sparklers also have a Canadian connection, as fashion designer Erdem Moralıoğlu was born in Montreal. Kate has worn the London-based designer on a number of occasions, including another pair of earrings to the Royal Variety Performance in London last November. -Heather Cichowski, Hello!

Commonwealth Day Service 2020

Kate Middleton wore a crimson Catherine Walker coat for an appearance at the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey in London on March 9, alongside Prince William. The Duchess of Cambridge previously wore the red coat to a Christmas Day church service at Sandringham in 2018.

The Duchess of Cambridge looked lovely in the rich shade, which she wore from head to toe. The fit-and-flare coat boasted a high collar and double-breasted detailing that drew attention to Kate's dramatic Sally-Ann Provan floral hat, which featured a cluster of lighter red flowers with burgundy leaves. Her hairstyle also showcased her drop earrings with red floral detail. Kate completed the ensemble with matching burgundy red suede heels and an understated makeup look.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge joined the Queen, Prince Charles, Duchess Camilla, Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry at the service. It was a significant moment for all of them because it was Harry and Meghan's final official joint outing as senior members of the Royal Family. - Heather Cichowski, Hello!

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's jam-packed schedule kicked off with a special event at Tribeton in Galway, where they met performers and tried juggling.

The Duchess stunned in a bespoke Valerie dress by British brand Suzannah. The Kelly green style had a polka dot effect thanks to the dainty white square print. Kate cinched the waist of the long-sleeved midi dress with a black belt and completed her fashionable ensemble with a tall pair of black boots by Ralph Lauren and the Daniella Draper shamrock hoop earrings we have seen her wear to a few previous engagements in Ireland.

Visiting a Northern Ireland farm

Duchess Kate surprised us again by stepping out on Feb. 12 to The Ark Open Farm in Newtownards, Northern Ireland. The visit was part of her Early Years Foundation survey, "the 5 big questions on the under 5's," a U.K.-wide conversation which gives parents the opportunity to share feedback on how younger generations should be raised. It saw Kate interacting with young farm visitors and a fascinating mix of animals, including snakes and alpacas. For the occasion, Kate was suitably dressed down for farm life. She sported a khaki green jacket with a sky blue turtleneck, black skinny jeans and Penelope Chilvers tall brown tassel boots. The mom of three has been a long-time fan of Penelope Chilvers and has famously recycled a pair of brown boots for over a decade.

Elegant in tailored Alexander McQueen in Loughborough

Duchess Kate, Prince William, Duchess Camilla and Prince Charles had a rare joint engagement in Loughborough on Feb. 11 to visit the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre to meet patients and staff.

She paired the chic piece with a matching pleated skirt that came to mid-calf. Tall black boots and black gloves made it a warm winter ensemble.

Showing love in a heart-printed scarf and red Zara dress in Wales

Duchess Kate and Prince William travelled to south Wales for a series of royal engagements on Feb. 4. The Duchess of Cambridge already looked ready for Valentine's Day, thanks to her red dress with heart-printed scarf. She bundled up in a long tailored navy coat by Hobbs as she and Prince William visited the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) Mumbles Lifeboat station in Swansea. She brightened up her look with a vivid red Zara dress, which could be seen through the opening of her coat as she walked. In a very sweet gesture to Wales, the couple also came dressed in red and green, two of the colours of the Welsh flag, also known as the "Baner Cymru" or "Y Ddraig Goch." (The latter means "red dragon.") Kate added even more colour and a dash of romance with a pink and red heart-print scarf. She rounded out the ensemble with a red Mulberry clutch and tall black boots from Stuart Weitzman.—Heather Cichowski, Hello!

Wearing a stunning Alexander McQueen evening gown at the BAFTAs

Attendees were asked not to wear new dresses this year and opt for previously worn wardrobe items or sustainable options. Kate walked the red carpet in a pair of Jimmy Choo pumps and accessorized the stunning outfit with a sparkly gold clutch and a necklace and earring set by Van Cleef & Arpels.

In 2012, Kate wore the same Alexander McQueen gown by Sarah Burton to a state dinner in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, that was hosted by The Agong, the country's King. The spectacular dress is embroidered with hibiscuses, which are Malaysia's official flowers. -Zach Harper and Heather Cichowski, Hello!

Sparkling in the stunning Lover’s Knot tiara

Kate Middleton dazzled at the Diplomatic Corps reception at Buckingham Palace on December 11 in London. Royal fans were treated to a rare appearance of the Cambridge Lover’s Knot tiara, the duchess’ most beloved crown.

Striking pictures of the Duchess of Cambridge show her dripping in diamonds, the tiara complemented by equally sparkling earrings and a show-stopping necklace. She was clad in a navy Alexander McQueen gown and blue sash.

The Cambridge Lover’s Knot tiara was a favourite of the Duke of Cambridge’s late mother, Princess Diana, after it was presented to her as a wedding gift from the Queen.

The mother of three paired her outfit with skinny blue jeans, sturdy brown Berghaus boots and green socks. Her hair was parted down the centre and elegantly styled in her signature voluminous, soft waves.

It was the perfect jolly outfit to help children pick out Christmas trees and make holiday decorations as part of her newly announced patronage, Family Action. The Duchess took over from the Queen as patron, who served in the role for 65 years. —Heather Cichowski, Hello!

With the Queen at the annual Remembrance Sunday memorial

The Royal Family stepped out to the cenotaph at Whitehall in London to mark Remembrance Sunday services on Nov. 10. The annual event commemorates those who lost their lives in World Wars I and II and other conflicts since, such as the Korean War, Afghanistan War and Iraq War. Remembrance Day marks the signing of the Armistice that ended the First World War. The Queen was joined by Duchess Kate, Duchess Camilla, Duchess Meghan, the Countess of Wessex, Princess Anne's husband Sir Timothy Laurence, Prince Charles, Prince Harry and Prince William.

Kate stood on the same balcony as Camilla and the Queen.

If you're wondering why Meghan and Kate were standing on separate balconies, it has to do with the order of precedence.

At The Annual Royal British Legion Festival Of Remembrance

This year also marks the 75th anniversary of a number of crucial battles of 1944 - Monte Cassino, Kohima and Imphal, and D-Day – with a particular emphasis on the role of the Commonwealth and Allied Forces.

This is also the first time since we've seen Prince William and Duchess Kate with Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan since July. Kate arrived with William, accessorizing her dark blue dress with a chic black headband. She wore three poppies.

Walking puppies in Islamabad

Duchess Kate quickly swapped looks while on the way from Lahore to Islamabad, stepping out to the Army Canine Centre in an elegant black-and-white look that was a great way to cap off her whirlwind tour of Pakistan with Prince William.

Kate was wearing the white trousers she had on when getting on the plane in Lahore earlier in the day, but had switched into a black blazer coat by Beulah London. She had swapped her nude heels for black Russell & Bromley flats, and was also sporting a white lace scarf, which she wore over one of her shoulders.

Kate and William spent their final engagement of the tour playing with adorable dogs and puppies at the Army Canine Centre, which is supported by the U.K. army. The sweet pups and dogs were very keen to meet the couple, who walked a rambunctious pair of golden Labrador puppies named Sky and Salto before meeting a black Labrador and another golden lab, along with a Belgian Malinois named Tutu who got right up on his hind legs to say hi to Kate.—Zach Harper, Hello!

Departing Lahore

After a long Thursday that included a flight they probably hope to never have again in their lives, Duchess Kate and Prince William finally departed Lahore for Islamabad the morning of Oct. 18 to begin the final day of their tour.

The Duchess of Cambridge chose a beautiful cream kurta by Elan which had navy blue patterns and piping all over it. She wore a pair of matching trousers with it, along with nude heels by J. Crew and carried a carry-all bag by Smythson. She wore her hair down, as we’ve seen her do for much of this tour, and accessorized with gold earrings.

On Oct. 17, William and Kate boarded a flight to Islamabad that should have gone without incident. But a massive electrical storm outside the capital prevented them and the entire press corps from landing not once, but twice. After two aborted landings, the captain turned the plane around and made an emergency landing back in Lahore, where everyone spent the evening. Phew!—Zach Harper, Hello!

Hat with a special connection to Princess Diana in Pakistan

Prince William and Duchess Kate got the opportunity to connect with Princess Diana in a very unique way while visiting the remote mountainous city of Chitral during their tour of Pakistan on Oct. 16. On a trip to a glacier to see the effects of climate change, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were given a traditional Chitrali feather cap. The couple were shown a book of pictures from the late Princess of Wales’ trip to the country in 1991, in which she visited Chitral. One of the photos featured William’s mother in the same type of feathered cap! She was also wearing an embroidered cloak similar to the one Kate was given. In addition to the Kalash hat and cloak, Kate opted for an entirely brown ensemble for her trip to the Chiatibo glacier and the Kalash village of Bumburet. She wore a brown midi skirt, brown leather waistcoat, brown dress shirt, suede Really Wild boots and drop earrings by Missoma. - Zach Harper, Hello!

The gorgeous embroidered number is by Pakistani designer Maheen Khan.

On her feet, Kate opted for nude Russell & Bromley flats, a big change from the heels she wore for her arrival in Pakistan with Prince William the night before.

Gorgeous in green for a visit to the Aga Khan Centre

Duchess Kate stepped out to London’s Aga Khan Centre on Oct. 2 wearing a gorgeous green outfit that was a subtle cultural nod ahead of the couple’s trip to Pakistan later this month. The Duchess of Cambridge arrived at the centre with Prince William; she chose a beautiful teal and emerald maxi dress by ARoss Girl x Soler, which she paired with earrings byZeen, a designer from Pakistan. Her feet were clad in emerald pumps, and she wore her hair down, showing off her recent chestnut highlights. There are two reasons Kate was wearing so much green! The colour is important in Islam, and is associated with paradise in the Qur’an. Green is also one of the colours on Pakistan’s flag. Zach Harper, Hello!

Wearing a stunning Alexander McQueen coat for a boat naming ceremony with Sir David Attenborough

The Duchess of Cambridge looked anything but blue—though that was her go-to hue for the day—while attending a naming ceremony for a new research vessel alongside Prince William and Sir David Attenborough on September 26.

The 37-year-old was all smiles as she donned a stunning sky-coloured coat by Alexander McQueen while touring the ship, which will enable researchers to carry out world-leading studies in Antarctica and the Arctic. She later had the pleasure of formally naming the vessel as the RRS Sir David Attenborough and breaking a traditional bottle of champagne on its hull.

The incredibly stylish duchess accessorized her stunning ensemble with a navy blue clutch 1781 Pochette clutch by Asprey and suede pumps, while she kept her makeup simple and locks long and wavy.

The coat is a go-to piece from Kate’s wardrobe. We’ve seen her in it four different times now. The Duchess first wore it in April 2014 while in New Zealand with William when the two attended a wreath-laying ceremony in memory at a war memorial. She brought it out two months later for a different memorial event to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings that June. The last time we saw her wear it was February 2016, at the 75th anniversary of the Royal Air Force cadets in London. -Sarah Walker, Hello!

To meet with parents and children who have gone through the Southwark Family Nurse Partnership, she wore a black-and-white polka-dot shirt by Equipment, wide-legged black trousers and black Gianvito Rossi. She wore her hair down, showcasing the recent chestnut highlights she’s had done. If you want Kate’s blouse, it's available through Net-a-Porter and will run you about US$140.- Zach Harper, Hello!

Gorgeous new Emilia Wickstead dress for a day out with the kids

The Duchess of Cambridge arrived at the launch of her latest Back to Nature garden in Woking, England on Sept. 10 wearing a beautiful dress that was perfectly suited for the occasion! The gorgeous baby blue Emilia Wickstead seersucker dress featured pink roses all over it, which was ideal for a day out among flowers and plants! The look, which has a collar, long sleeves and cinched waist, comes in $2,650 and is unsurprisingly... already sold out. Kate also wore her beloved espadrilled wedges on her feet for the day, and kept her hair down for the event. - Zach Harper, Hello!

Michael Kors dress for Princess Charlotte’s first day of school

Duchess Kate looked radiant in a Michael Kors dress as she arrived to drop her two children off for Princess Charlotte’s first day of school on Sept. 5. The mom of three chose the label’s Carnation dress for the event, which she paired with a black belt and high heels. She wore her hair down and also had a huge smile as she held her daughter’s hand. Charlotte couldn’t hide her happiness as she and Kate were joined by big brother Prince George and dad Prince William for Charlotte’s start at Thomas’s Battersea. George has been a student there since 2017. The four-year-old princess was decked out in the school’s uniform, wearing a skirt, red and blue cardigan and blouse underneath and dress shoes. Kate beamed as her little girl was introduced to Helen Haslam, head of the lower school, and looked incredibly proud of her two children. The duchess was not able to drop George off for his first day at Thomas’s Battersea in 2017 because she was suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe form of morning sickness, while she was pregnant with Prince Louis. Today marks Kate and William’s return to work after a summer break that included a trip to Mustique to celebrate George’s sixth birthday and a visit to Balmoral to spend time with the Queen and Prince Philip. The couple took a brief break from their holidays to take part in the inaugural King’s Cup regatta, at which cheeky Charlotte made royal watchers chuckle as she stuck her tongue out at grandpa Michael Middleton as she spotted him in a crowd! - Zach Harper, Hello!

Heading to church at Balmoral

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge accompanied the Queen to church at Balmoral on Sunday. They are staying with the monarch at her Scottish residence for the bank holiday weekend, having flown up from their Norwich home on Thursday, along with their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. Prince William and Kate had the honour of travelling to church in the same car as the Queen before meeting up with the rest of the royal family at the service. Also in attendance were Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall, Prince Edward and the Countess of Wessex with their daughter Lady Louise, Princess Anne, her husband Timothy Laurence, and Anne's son Peter Phillips and his wife Autumn. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex haven't joined the royal cohort as they have prior commitments over the bank holiday weekend, which include Prince Harry attending the Rugby League Challenge Cup Final. Kate is believed to be wearing the navy Herringbone trenchcoat from Guinea London.—Hello!

Shorts for the first time as a royal at King’s Cup regatta

It's not very often you see a royal in shorts! In Duchess Kate’s case, we haven’t seen her wear a good pair of shorts in more than a decade. Kate and Prince William took to the waves at Cowes on the Isle of Wight on Aug. 8 to compete in the inaugural King’s Cup regatta. They raced against celebrities including wildlife and survival expert Bear Grylls, who won the competition on behalf of wildlife conservation charity Tusk. Seven other charities of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s choosing were benefactors. Royal fans were pleased and surprised to see Kate show up at the Royal Yacht Squadron in an appropriately navy blue pair of shorts, along with running shoes and an aerodynamic jacket to protect her from the wind and keep her warm. - Zach Harper, Hello!

At final day of Wimbledon 2019

Duchess Kate returned to Wimbledon for the final day of competition on Sunday (July 14, 2019) with Prince William by her side. The 37-year-old opted for a crepe baby blue Emilia Wickstead dress that featured a square neckline. She continued to wear the special brooch that designates her as a patron of the All England Lawn and Tennis Croquet Club, which hosts Wimbledon every year. Her ears featured pearl drop baubles by InDesign and she wore nude heels on her feet. William looked dapper in a grey jacket with navy blue pants, and he complemented his wife by wearing a similar baby blue shirt underneath his jacket. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were all smiles as they arrived just ahead of the men’s singles final between Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic.—Zach Harper, Hello!

At Wimbledon with Duchess Meghan

Duchess Kate stepped out to Wimbledon to attend the women’s singles final between Serena Williams and Simona Halep with Duchess Meghan. Kate, who is a patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, arrived first in a green Dolce & Gabbana dress with short sleeves, a drawstring collar and gold buttons up the front. Before the match, she took some time to speak with players and staff at the club, which was founded in 1868. You might recognize Kate’s dress from her time in Canada! The Duchess of Cambridge wore the look while she and Prince William were here with Prince George and Princess Charlotte in 2016. The look is so well-known that the fashion house has since named the dress after her. This is the second appearance for both Kate and Meghan at this year’s tennis championships.—Zach Harper, Hello!

Castañer espadrille wedges for polo match

Meghan, Kate, the Cambridge kids and Archie were on hand to see Prince William and Prince Harry compete in the King Power Royal Charity Polo Day for the Khun Vichai Sriaddhanaprabha Memorial Polo Trophy. Kate looked happy and dressed perfectly for the warm, sunny summer weather in a pink dress with her Castañer espadrille wedges. She held one-year-old son Louis in her arms, and at one point, he was seen toddling along just behind her. He looked completely adorable in green shorts and a blue polo shirt. His dad's team won the polo match!

In Princess Diana’s Collingwood pearl earrings

For Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor’s christening (that’s baby Sussex’s full name), Duchess Kate wore her mod Stella McCartney dress and Gianvito Rossi fuchsia suede pumps paired with a bespoke Juliette Botterill pillbox hat in the same colour as her shoes. Most notably, she wore the Collingwood pearl earrings that Princess Diana wore for Prince Harry’s christening—fitting for the christening of his first baby.

In a crisp white dress for Wimbledon

Duchess Kate stepped out wearing yet another perfect summer look as she took in Day 2 of the Championships at Wimbledon on Tuesday (July 2). The mom of three looked elegant and laid back at the same time in a white dress with black buttons, which was custom designed by London boutique Suzannah. She wore a black Alexander McQueen belt, black pumps, and came ready for good weather with sunglasses on her head.

The Duchess of Cambridge was all smiles as she was joined by two good friends, Katie Boulter and Anne Keothavong – and they didn’t sit in the royal box! Kate surprised by arriving at Court 14 to watch the UK’s Harriet Dart play the USA’s Christina McHale.—Zach Harper, Hello!

In a Parisian chic midi dress

At the Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival—where the RHS Back To Nature Garden that the Duchess of Cambridge co-designed is now on display—Kate Middleton sported a funky green print midi dress from Paris-based Sandro and the Castañer espadrille wedges she wore at the Chelsea Flower Show. She wore her hair down and topped off the outfit with Accessorize drop earrings (that only cost 8 pounds!).

Perfect paisley for photography workshop with Action For Children

Duchess Kate was all smiles and looked breezy and carefree as she stepped out on Tuesday (June 25) at a Royal Photographic Society workshop run by Action for Children, one of her patronages.

The mom of three sported a grey dress with a paisley pattern and her high heel Castaner espadrille wedges. She wore her hair down, meeting with a group of children looking to develop new photography skills.

You might remember Kate’s espadrilles from another royal who wore them on tour last year. Duchess Meghan stepped out wearing the same Castaner shoes–in black instead of tan–when she and Prince Harry visited Bondi Beach in Australia last year. The fondness for Castaner also runs in Kate’s family – her sister, Pippa Middleton, has also been pictured wearing the shoes, which are favourites among celebs such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Anne Hathaway, too, according to Good Housekeeping.

Beautiful in blue Elie Saab for day one of Royal Ascot

The Duchess of Cambridge looked plucked from a fairytale as she stepped out for the first day of the Royal Ascot on Tuesday (June 18, 2019). Kate wore an ethereal blue Elie Saab gown with the perfect modern topper. The number crafted by the Lebanese fashion designer featured a bow around the neck and sheer arms. As for accessories, Kate chose a pair of seemingly new metallic pumps and a matching small clutch.

The 37-year-old kept her beauty look simple and classic, with a light layer of peach blush, a subtle smoky eye and a natural pink lip. Her hair was up in a side bun to complement her diamond drop earrings. She topped off the look with a baby blue hat fixed with a large flower.

Catherine Walker at Order of the Garter ceremony

Duchess Kate reunited with Queen Máxima of the Netherlands and Queen Letizia of Spain at the annual Order of the Garter service on Monday (June 17, 2019). The 37-year-old stepped out at Windsor Castle in a white Catherine Walker coat dress, which boasted a Peter Pan collar and black piping. She topped off her winning look with a Lock & Co. hat, styling her hair up in a chic chignon.

This is the second time Kate has worn Catherine Walker this month. On June 6, she stepped out at the Beating Retreat wearing a cream coat by the designer–the same one she wore while leaving Canada on royal tour in 2016. Catherine Walker is one of Kate’s go-to designers. We also saw her sport the designer’s looks at Anzac Day.

This year’s Order of the Garter ceremony featured special appearances from Letizia and her husband, King Felipe VI, along with Máxima and her spouse, King Willem-Alexander. Prince Charles, Prince William and Duchess Camilla were in attendance, as was the Queen, of course. Máxima chose a pink dress with a belt and cape for the event, while Letizia wore a silk grey and white shift dress, which she accessorized with a black fascinator.

Willem-Alexander and Felipe are Knights of the Garter. Members of the Order are chosen personally by the Queen as recognition of those who have held public office, served her personally or who have given much to their country. Felipe and Willem-Alexander were invested as Supernumerary Knights of the Garter. That’s a title given to those who are overseas monarchs who are appointed to the Order. They had lunch with the Queen as part of the ceremony.

The Order of the Garter is the oldest and most senior order of chivalry in the U.K. It was established by Edward III in 1348. Its membership is limited to the Queen, Prince of Wales and no more than 24 living members.—Zach Harper, Hello!

The Duchess of Cambridge Attends Addiction Awareness Week Gala Dinner

Kate recycled one of her fan-favourite dresses and a surprising metallic shoe perfect for a night out on Wednesday (June 12) while she attended an evening gala supporting a cause close to her heart.

The duchess looked no further than London-based Brazil-born designer Barbara Casasola when she brought back the cream knit off-the-shoulder number. She anchored the look with metallic Jimmy Choo heels (the same ones she wore for the 2019 BAFTAs) and a small silver Wilbur & Gussie satin “Charlie” clutch to carry the essentials.—Meaghan Wray, Hello!

Casual for English Lake District visit

Kate joined Prince William on a trip to Cumbria in the English Lake District to speak to farmers and communities there. She chose a khaki jacket by Troy London for the event, which she paired with skinny jeans, a simple white shirt, knitted top and her See By Chloe biker boots. Opting for neutral makeup, her low ponytail perfectly showed off her Kiki McDonough “Lauren” earrings.

The duke and duchess began their day in Keswick, where they met with volunteers and first responders, including people from the rescue service and mental health workers. After meeting with local workers, they walked through a crowd in Keswick, saying hello to royal watchers and well-wishers who’d gathered to see them.

After that, the couple headed to a sheep farm to speak about challenges farmers in the area are facing. The couple got right into the local craft, as Kate also helped with a bit of sheep shearing while there.—Zach Harper, Hello!

Picture perfect in yellow for Trooping the Colour

Duchess Kate looked no further than one of her favourite silhouettes and designers, Alexander McQueen, when she other members of the Royal Family for the Queen’s birthday bash, Trooping the Colour. Kate typically opts for spring pastels for this event every year, and went with a beautiful pale yellow number. She turned heads in a stunning yellow coat dress by the designers, pairing it with a matching yellow topper by Philip Treacy. Kate kept her hair fashioned in a chic chignon, which perfectly showed off her Bahrein pearl drop earrings, marking her third time wearing them. The family was joined by their latest adorable addition, Prince Louis, making his debut at the annual affair, alongside siblings, Prince George, 5, and four-year-old Princess Charlotte. The young royal waved excitedly at well-wishers down below. Charlotte melted hearts the world over with her excited waves as she took her spot on the balcony, while her older brother kept it cool—after all, he's seen a few of these events before! The princess will be joining her big sibling at Thomas's Battersea school this September. The youngest of the Cambridges joined other senior members of the Royal Family—like the Queen, dad Prince William, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Princes Charles and Camilla—for the exciting day celebrating his great-grandma's birthday. Notably absent was baby Archie Harrison, of course, who's much too young to fully enjoy the occasion.—Meaghan Wray, Hello!

Duchess Kate wearing beloved Catherine Walker Coat to the Beating Retreat

The Duchess of Cambridge made a surprise appearance on Thursday (June 6) as she stepped out for the Beating Retreat on Horse Guards Parade in London. Kate was her usual stunning self at the event, and she pulled out a much-loved look from her 2016 Canadian tour with Prince William: her dazzling cream Catherine Walker coat! You might remember the look from the final day of the trip across the pond three years ago. Then, Kate wore it along with the Queen’s Canadian snowflake brooch, which Her Majesty had graciously leant her for the tour. On Thursday, Kate opted for the Irish Guards shamrock brooch, which we last saw on St. Patrick’s Day. She wore her hair up in a chignon, wore a pair of blush heels and carried a matching clutch. This was Kate’s debut at the event, and she also was responsible for taking the salute on Thursday. The Beating Retreat is held over two evenings prior to Trooping the Colour, and a senior member of the Royal Family must handle the salute each year. Prince William, Prince Harry and Prince Philip have all done the honours in the past. The event also features fireworks, horsemanship, military drills and more. —Zach Harper, Hello!

In stunning Lover’s Knot tiara and Queen Mother’s earrings

The Duchess of Cambridge pulled out the glitz as she attended a banquet for U.S. President Donald Trump and U.S. First Lady Melania Trump at Buckingham Palace on Monday (June 3, 2019). Kate, who arrived with Prince William, was wearing a white gown by Alexander McQueen, the Cambridge Lover’s Knot tiara and the Queen Mother’s diamond and sapphire fringe earrings for the event.The tiara, of course, was once owned by Princess Diana. Kate has worn the tiara many times in the past, including greeting King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima of the Netherlands at a state dinner in their honour at Buckingham Palace last October. Kate was also wearing her new insignia as a Dame Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order (GCVO). The title was gifted to her by the Queen earlier this year in honour of the duchess’s close relationship with the Royal Family, along with her dedication to representing Her Majesty. Queen Victoria created the Order in 1896, and Kate’s title is its highest ranking.—Zach Harper, Hello!

Less than 24 hours later, Kate and William stepped out again, this time at the Buckingham Palace garden party. Kate chose a double-breasted Alexander McQueen coat dress for the event, which she paired with a matching Juliette Botterill fascinator, a similarly pink clutch, and nude heels. She arrived with William, who was wearing yet another dapper suit and carrying a top hat and umbrella to shield the couple from the sun.—Zach Harper, Hello!
