Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, reappeared this past weekend. As announced just a few hours before, Prince William’s wife attended the Trooping the Color military parade with her husband and her children, one of the most important events celebrated by the British Royal House.
Six months after his last public appearance, his presence was awaited with great expectation and he did not disappoint. Smiling, apparently quite recovered from her illness and very attentive to her three young children, the future queen of England
He once again wore an impeccable look and with a curious and emotional intrastory.
The work of British designer Jenny Packham, one of the royal’s favorites, it is a two-tone dress that she already wore in 2023 and that she has updated with a large bow and belt
inspired by Audrey Hepburn’s character in ‘My Fair Lady’. The headdress, by Philip Treacy, is also reminiscent of Diana of Wales, and the choice of colors and her sailor air coincided with the looks of her three children.
Kate Middleton’s look on her comeback: very special and full of meaning
Kate Middleton’s return to public life, at least momentarily, met all expectations this past Saturday. Retired since her abdominal operation last January, a prolonged absence as a result of her subsequent cancer diagnosis, the condition of the Princess of Wales was a mystery. And although speculation about her health has never ceased, just a few hours before the solemn Trooping the Color event, the English Royal House announced
the presence of the king’s daughter-in-law in this important celebration of the monarch’s birthday. And the joy and expectation were maximum.
And Kate did not disappoint. Highly made up, smiling and apparently delighted with the affection of the thousands of people who attended the Horse Guards Parade, near Buckingham Palace, the Princess of Wales
He fascinated again with his looks. On this occasion, she repeated a dress that she had already worn last year at one of the coronation events of Charles III, but with an obvious update: its large two-color bow on the right side of the neckline, matching the belt, both new elements that, curiously, were reminiscent of an iconic style from a no less iconic film.

We refer to
My Fair Lady, the film version of the famous musical, starring Audrey Hepburn and whose wonderful costumes were the work of the well-known photographer and designer linked to the English Royal Family Cecil Beaton. But this recycled look of the Princess of Wales also incorporated
two other very emotional details: her headdress, the work of the famous English milliner Philip Treacy and which was very reminiscent of those worn by the late Princess Diana on different occasions. And the pearl earrings, by Cassandra Goad and that the princess already wore at the baptism of her little son Luis.
Kate Middleton and headdress: she does not forget Diana of Wales
The Princess of Wales not only repeated her look, although updated, as we see. She also once again wore one of her favorite headdresses, a design by the famous
British milliner Philip Tracy which has also been worn on previous occasions, as occurred at the Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022.
This spectacular two-tone headdress is very reminiscent of several of those worn by Lady Di decades ago, such as at the Ascot races in 1988 or on an official visit to Dubai in 1987. This type of headdress, with a wide brim and in a two-tone key, accompanied the mother of Princes William and Harry to some of her most important official events, and the current Princess of Wales, one of the most elegant royals in the world, pays tribute to who would have been her mother-in-law whenever she can.

We also have a lot to say about the rest of the accessories with which Kate Middelton accompanied her unforgettable look this weekend. The white stilettos, from Jimmy Choo, and the handbag from the British brand Mulberry did not attract particular attention. They were two very correct and elegant accessories, nothing more. But there is more information to provide about her jewelry. For example, the earrings: a pearl and diamond design by the English jeweler Cassandra Goad that
The princess already showed off on another important date. Kate wore them to the baptism of Luis, the youngest of her three children, held on July 9, 2018 at the Royal Chapel of St. James’s Palace in Westminster, London.
He also added to his style
the brooch of the Irish Guards Regiment, a clear nod to his role as honorary colonel of the regiment and that completed the regal air of this impeccable look that, without a doubt, will go down in the annals of history of the most notable appearances of the future queen of England. And not only because it coincides with Kate Middleton’s expected public reappearance, in the midst of treatment for the cancer she suffers from. Also for her inspiration in My Fair Lady, one of her most famous English works and which, in addition, the princess performed in a school performance when she was 11 years old. Will there be another nice nod to her childhood?
