Kate Middleton graced the Trooping the Colour event on Saturday in a stunning powder blue ensemble.
The Princess of Wales complemented her Catherine Walker outfit with a Philip Treacy hat in the same hue, the Irish Guards Brooch, and her beloved pearl floral Cassandra Goad earrings. These earrings, which she previously showcased at the installation of the new Archbishop of Canterbury, first made an appearance in 2018 during Prince Louis’s christening, according to Town and Country.
For the royal parade at Buckingham Palace, celebrating the monarch’s birthday, she completed her look with elegant white heels.
In a charming display of family coordination, Middleton matched with her children, Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 11, and Prince Louis, 8, as they rode in a horse-drawn carriage.
The young princes donned baby blue ties that perfectly complemented their suits, while Princess Charlotte was dressed in white, accented by a blue ribbon in her hair and subtle blue details on her dress.
King Charles and Queen Camilla also rode in a horse-drawn carriage in matching red ceremonial attire, with Charles wearing a medal-adorned military uniform and Camilla a red coatdress and feathered navy hat.
Prince William, Prince Edward and Princess Anne all rode on horseback behind the king’s carriage, taking part in the traditional royal procession through central London.
Middleton, 44, has been steadily returning to her major royal duties in recent months one year into her cancer recovery. She took her first overseas trip since her diagnosis, a solo royal visit to Italy earlier this year, with husband Prince William declaring he was “incredibly proud” of her.
Earlier this month, she attended an event with Cancer Research, where she wore a heart-printed Rodarte dress and meaningful jewelry, and visited with a mom celebrating the end of her own cancer treatment.
Middleton made her grand return to public duties at Trooping the Colour in 2024, where she chose a white Jenny Packham dress with black accents, months after announcing her diagnosis.
In 2025, she twinned with Princess Charlotte, with mom in an aquamarine Catherine Walker coat dress with white lapels and daughter in a paler dress with a white sash.
In the past, Middleton has almost exclusively worn Alexander McQueen to the annual event, making her debut in 2011 after her royal wedding in a fittingly bridal white coat dress by her wedding dress designer.
