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!

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.
On Nov. 9, the Royal Family stepped out to London's Royal Albert Hall for the annual Festival of Remembrance. The evening event honours and commemorates the sacrifices made by the UK during World Wars I and II, the Korean War, Afghanistan War and Iraq War and other conflicts since 1914.
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.

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.

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.

She brought it out two months later for a different memorial event to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings that June.

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.

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.
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!
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!).

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.
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.

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!
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!
(Photo: Samir Hussein/WireImage)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!
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!
(Photo: Samir Hussein/Samir Hussein/WireImage)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!
(Photo: Max Mumby/Indigo/Getty Images)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!
(Photo: Victoria Jones- WPA Pool/Getty Images)The Duchess of Cambridge has had an incredibly busy last few days! The mom of three debuted her Back to Nature Garden at the Royal Horticultural Society’s Chelsea Flower Show over the weekend. She brought her kids and husband Prince William to see it on Sunday (May 19), and the next day family members including the Queen, Princess Beatrice and more came out to support her at the garden’s debut. 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!
Duchess Kate's Back to Nature garden debuted at the Royal Horticultural Society's Chelsea Flower Show on Monday, and her family came out to show their support! On her second debut of the day, Kate wore a maxi floral print dress by one of her favourite designers, Erdem. She showed the Queen around the newly installed garden features.
