The Princess Brings Back Self Portrait Style for Garter Day – What Kate Wore
The Princess of Wales brought back a Self Portrait dress for today's Order of the Garter ceremonies in Windsor. The Duchess of Edinburgh and Princess of Wales outside St. George's Chapel. We learn more about the Order via the Royal Family site. In medieval times, King Edward III was so inspired by tales of King Arthur and the chivalry of the Knights of the Round Table that he set up his own group of honourable knights, called the Order of the Garter. Nearly 700 years later, the Order is the oldest and most senior Order of Chivalry in Britain. The Knights, now both male and female, used to be limited to aristocracy, but today they are chosen from a variety of backgrounds, in recognition for their public service. The spiritual home of the Order is St George's Chapel, Windsor. Lizzie Robinson of ITV posted a video as members of the Order walked to the chapel. You can see the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, as well as other royal family members, in this clip. The King and Queen and members of the Royal Family arrive for the Most Noble Order of the Garter service at St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle #GarterDay pic.twitter.com/MB4JkSKqXe — Lizzie Robinson (@LizzieITV) June 16, 2025 It was a sunny day in Windsor, with temperatures in the upper 70s. We return to the Royal Family site for additional background information. The annual Garter Day procession, where The King and the Knights process in grand velvet robes, glistening insignia and plumed hats, is one of the most traditional ceremonies in the Royal calendar....a grand procession of the knights takes place at Windsor Castle, accompanied by a marching band and Officers of the Order, all in grand ceremonial dress. The members and officers attend a lunch hosted by the Sovereign, and then all process on foot to a service in St. George's Chapel. There is a short service where any new Companions are installed. The Sovereign and other members of the Order then return to the Upper Ward of the castle in carriages and cars. Below, the King and Queen as they walked to the chapel. More from The Daily Mail's piece by Rebecca English. The King, resplendent in the traditional velvet robes and plumed hat of the Order of the Garter, smiled as he presided over the elaborate display of pomp and pageantry in the blazing sunshine. The Queen, also dressed in the order’s full regalia, walked alongside him as the procession snaked its way down the hill from the castle’s quadrangle to St George’s Chapel. Hundreds of onlookers, many trying to shelter from the heat with straw hats and parasols, cheered as the party slowly made its way through the grounds. In this photo, you see the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince of Wales, Princess Royal, the Duke of Gloucester, and former Prime Minister Sir John Major (foreground) as they made their way to the chapel. The Duke of Kent rode to the chapel, as health issues precluded walking in the procession. Another view of the Duchess of Edinburgh and Princess of Wales. Rebecca English of The Daily Mail shared a video showing the Princess of Wales, Duchess of Edinburgh, and others waiting for the procession. Catherine and Sophie await the procession at the Galilee Porch at St George’s Chapel pic.twitter.com/0i49wLvnFp — Rebecca English (@RE_DailyMail) June 16, 2025 If you look closely, you can see former Prime Minister Sir Tony Blair, who was made a Knight of the Order in 2022, and Lord Lloyd-Webber, who was invested in 2024. Baroness Amos (on the right), invested in the Order in 2022. Prince Edward with his nephew, Prince William, as they made their way to the chapel. The King and Queen as they exited the chapel following the conclusion of the service. The Prince of Wales, Princess Royal, and Duchess of Gloucester as they left the chapel. Here you see the Prince and Princess of Wales with the Duchess of Edinburgh on the chapel steps after the service. Then it was time to load into carriages for the ride back up the hill. Below, the King and Queen. The Prince and Princess of Wales. The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and the Princess Royal. Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence was also in the carriage with the Edinburghs and Princess Anne.

A quick review of some of the royal ensembles begins with the Queen, who wore a white chiffon and lace dress by Fiona Clare beneath her robes.

Now, for our look at what Kate wore, an ensemble anchored by a Self Portrait dress. The Self Portrait design may appear to be two separate pieces, but it is a single piece of clothing. The Cream Tailored Bouclé and Chiffon Midi Dress ($575) is crafted from 100% polyester and features a fitted jacket in bouclé fabric, a pleated midi-length skirt with a lace border, satin lapels, hip pockets, a full lining, and a self-belt. This is the fourth time the Princess has worn the dress. Most recently, the dress, earrings, and necklace were worn for a concert marking the 80th anniversary of VE Day. The design was first noted at a September 2021 reception, then seen again at the Platinum Party at the Palace concert in 2022, and then at last month's concert. The Princess debuted a new hat by milliner Sean Barrett, a saucer style with a wide brim. She wore her hair partially up. We saw the return of the Multrees Chain Wallet ($425) by Scottish brand Strathberry. The piece measures roughly 8 x 4, is made of calf leather with a magnetic closure, internal zippered pocket, detachable chain, and the brand's signature Music Bar hardware. It looks like the Princess may have worn her Bisque Gianvito 105 Pumps ($597 on sale, similar color available here) again. The Princess brought back two jewelry items worn to the VE Day concert with this dress, both from vintage jeweler Susan Caplan. The earrings are from the 1980s, featuring a Vintage Renaissance Revival design (£75, now sold out), a gold-plated style with faux pearls in a cross pattern, and smaller faux pearl accents. The Five-Strand Faux Pearl Necklace (£275, approximately $375 at today's exchange rates) is rhodium-plated with faux pearls in graduated sizes, featuring a Swarovski crystal clasp. It is now available for ordering. Reviewing the looks worn by the Princess at Garter Day over the years, we beging with a 2011 Katherine Hooker coat; at the 2012 event we saw the return of the Alexander McQueen 'Samurai Folds' coat; in 2014 the Duchess was in a bespoke Christopher Kane coat; in 2016, the Duchess brought back a Catherine Walker ensemble; for 2019's Garter Day events, we saw another Catherine Walker design; in 2022, the Duchess wore a design believed to be by Alexander McQueen; the Princess chose an Alessandra Rich dress in 2023; today, we have the Self Portrait dress. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ A quick update about Saturday's Trooping the Colour ensemble: I mentioned in the post that the Princess appeared to be wearing a satin dress beneath her Catherine Walker coat. In comments, some asked about photos showing the dress, and I explained that I wasn't able to license any. However, here is a Getty embedded image showing a glimpse of the dress. Embed from Getty Imageswindow.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'ex8z93TyS8drUeftj2gCQA',sig:'zmQSLFjpdM7bduPJ9Je2vcz_FjxHDH-AJA32hNUDvCI=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2219367649',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })}); ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Our final note involves Father's Day photos of the Wales family that were shared on social media yesterday. The images were shot earlier this year in Norfolk by Josh Shinner. In the black and white shot, you see the Wales children with their father on a bed of daffodils. In the more formal photo, you see the foursome in a posed image. Mr. Shinner has taken multiple photos of the family, including the image used for their 2023 holiday card. As well as the photo used to celebrate Prince Louis's seventh birthday in April. I do not yet know if we'll see the Princess at Royal Ascot tomorrow or not. If she does attend, I will be back with another post.

The Princess Mixes Old & New Styles for Hospital and Garden Visit – What Kate Wore
The Princess of Wales mixed old and new pieces for a visit to the Colchester Hospital in Essex, about two hours northeast of Windsor. We learn more about today's engagement from Richard Palmer's story for Yahoo UK. The princess, who revealed she had been diagnosed with cancer in March last year, praised the centre’s “holistic” approach to the support it offers patients, relatives and carers which includes counselling and dietary advice. She spoke with patients and caregivers. More about the Princess's conversations with staff and patients from this ITV story. While chatting to a group of the centre’s users, volunteers and staff, the princess said: “It’s life-changing for anyone, through first diagnosis or post-treatment and things like that, it is life-changing experience both for the individual patient but also for the families as well. Actually it sometimes goes unrecognised. You don’t necessarily, particularly when it’s the first time, you don’t appreciate how much impact it is going to have. “You have to find your new normal and that takes time. “Someone described the sort of healing, recovery journey to me as being like a sort of zig-zag. Here is a video of the Princess talking about her journey. We return to Richard Palmer's story. She added: “There is this whole phase when you finish your treatment that you, yourself, everybody expects you, right you’ve finished your time, go, you’re better, and that’s not the case at all.” The Princess also spent time outside at the Royal Horticultural Society's Wellbeing Garden at the hospital. More about the garden from the RHS description. Located at the hospital entrance near a dedicated Cancer Wellbeing Centre and the existing lake, sustainability has been at the heart of the build and the garden has been designed to be resilient to climate change. The garden is in Essex, the driest county in the UK and includes drought-tolerant planting, reducing the need for watering. The Princess helped plant some of the fifty Catherine's Roses donated to the hospital's garden. We return to Richard Palmer's story one more time. Foregoing gardening gloves which were offered to her, she knelt down to plant the roses using her bare hands and a trowel to pat down the soil alongside Adam Frost, the award-winning garden designer who led the design of the space. You may recall the Royal Horticultural Society announced in May they named a new rose after the Princess of Wales, to celebrate the incredible healing power of nature and raise awareness of the important role that spending time outdoors plays in bringing us joy and supporting our mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing. £5 from the sale of each rose plant will be donated to the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity. We learn more from The Telegraph's coverage. Some 500 of the plants are being donated to wellbeing and community gardens across the UK this summer, including Maggie’s gardens for people affected by cancer, East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices and Horatio’s gardens for those living with spinal injuries. The Princess did a walkabout, speaking with well-wishers gathered outside. More from Rebecca English's Daily Mail story. In the pouring rain, as the engagement overran by about half an hour, she told hospital staff and patients who had waited outside to see her: 'I'm just washing my hands - I'll be back.' The deeply personal words from the Princess came as she met fellow patients at a cancer wellbeing centre at Colchester Hospital, helping to plant roses in a garden designed to help visitors find peace. She repeatedly emphasised the importance of patients and their families being able to find support through their illness, saying it was too often difficult to reach. The princess, speaking to therapist Amanda Green during a walkabout in heavy rain afterwards, disclosed that she had not yet tried reflexology but had undergone acupuncture as part of her own health journey. 'And to have a place like this to have the support network, through creativity and singing or gardening whatever it might be is so valuable and it's great this community has it. 'It would be great if lots of communities had this kind of support.' It was a drizzly, damp day. She also posed for some selfies. Here is a video posted by Kensington Palace following today's engagement. Honoured to mark the planting of Catherine’s Rose at the RHS Wellbeing Garden in Colchester. A gesture rooted in hope and care. Grateful to spend time with NHS staff and volunteers tending this space, and to see the rose incorporated into gardens supporting recovery and… pic.twitter.com/Pcm5oNw4mw — The Prince and Princess of Wales (@KensingtonRoyal) July 2, 2025 And here is another social media post from Kensington Palace. Now, let's look at what Kate wore. The Princess brought back her Blazé Milano Wind Hunter Charmer Pinstriped Grain de Poudre ($1910, past season, sold out). The double-breasted design is crafted of a silk/linen blend with a subtle pinstripe, peaked lapels, and the brand's signature half-moon-shaped Smiley pockets. Grain de Poudre is a tightly woven material used for suiting, often referring to wool. A closer look at some of the blazer details. The blazer was initially worn to the International Air Tattoo in July 2023. Beneath the jacket, the Princess wore a shirt by Ralph Lauren, with thanks to Middleton Maven for this ID. The Capri Striped Cotton Shirt ($470) is made of 100% cotton and features a spread collar, button-front design, and a relaxed fit. I show it as offered at Ralph Lauren, but it is also available at Saks, Bergdorf Goodman, and Neiman Marcus. UPDATE: The Princess's shirt is in a past-season colorway of tan and white. The shirt shown below is in a contemporary color called moss with white. The style comes in additional colorways, including blue and white, black and white, and an orange and white stripe. There is also a linen version of the style. There are a couple of possibilities for the trousers. I will update when I return from an engagement I have this afternoon that I can't postpone. I am back from my appointment, and it looks like Middleton Maven also has an ID on the trousers. She suggests the Joseph Coleman Gabardine Stretch Trousers (originally £295, about $400 at today's exchange rates), and I think she is correct. They are a blend of cotton, viscose, and elastane, and feature a mid-rise waist, side slit pockets, jetted back pockets, belt loops, and a front zipper. The style is available in a range of colors. Thanks also to Princess of Wales Closet for her work on this ID. We saw the return of the Veja Esplar Leather Trainers ($89 on sale) in the white/platine colorway. They are also available at Veja ($150), at Feature ($175), and at Amazon($146). The Princess paired her Cartier Trinity earrings ($3350) in bands of pink, yellow, and white gold with her Auree Bali Garnet Birthstone Necklace ($490). The necklace description reads, The gold disc, which can be engraved with a name or special date, is polished on one side and brushed on the other, so you can wear it either way around. It appears that the Princess's disc, beneath the garnet, has been inscribed with text on one side. The necklace was first noted in a video released in June 2022 of the Princess baking with the Wales children. Most recently, the earrings were worn in January for a visit to Royal Marsden Hospital, where the Princess received cancer treatment. I'll leave you with one more photo from today's engagement. VIDEOS: The Royal Family Channel offers almost three minutes of coverage in this video.
