Kate Middleton Coordinated Looks With Princess Charlotte at First Public Event Since Her Cancer Announcement

Kate Middleton was radiant as she made her triumphant return to public life with an appearance at Trooping the Colour.

The Princess of Wales was the epitome of elegance in a white coat dress with black detailing and a matching fascinator. The mother-of-three, who delighted royal fans by announcing her plans to attend late on June 14, was beaming with joy as she waved to crowds who had gathered at the Palace, hoping to catch a glimpse of the princess.

As her husband Prince William rode out in his role as Colonel of the Welsh Guards, Kate joined her children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis in a ceremonial carriage to process from Buckingham Palace down the Mall to Horse Guards Parade, where King Charles III took the salute.

Once at Horse Guards Parade, the Princess of Wales and Queen Camilla took their seat beneath a canopy to witness the extraordinary display of military precision.

On show was Kate Middleton’s beautiful Trooping the Colour outfit, which is a new addition to her royal wardrobe. The Princess wore a dazzling white coat dress with a black and white striped bow detail on the neckline. Pinned to her chest was a diamond brooch. In what was a touching nod to her son, Prince Louis, she opted to wear a pair of her Cassandra Goad Cavolfiore Pearl Stud Earrings, which she first wore for her son’s christening back in 2018.

Princess Anne, whose title is the Princess Royal, Colonel of the Blues and Royals, also took part in the extraordinary military showcase with the Prince of Wales, Colonel of the Welsh Guards.

While Prince George and Prince Louis wore matching blue ties and navy suits, Princess Charlotte’s coat complimented her mothers and also featured a white bow at the collar.
