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.
The Princess in Creamy White Design for Wimbledon Ladies’ Final – What Kate Wore
The Princess was in a creamy white style today at Wimbledon for the Ladies' Singles Final match between the USA's Amanda Anisimova and Iga Świątek of Poland. The Princess has been Wimbledon's patron since 2016. Above and below, you see her with Deborah Jevans, chair of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. Below, a wide shot as they cross the Players Bridge to Centre Court. A social media post from Wimbledon. Before the match, the Princess met with volunteers and staff. Above, you see her with 8-year-old Lydia Lowe, selected to do the coin toss for the Ladies' Wheelchair Singles Final—more from this Telegraph piece. The Princess, 43, was also urged to “take deep breaths” by eight-year-old Lydia Lowe ahead of her appearance at the women’s singles final. During a touching exchange, the Princess asked the child, who overcame a brain injury last January and had to learn how to walk again, what it meant to her to perform the coin toss. She asked if the girl had a favourite tennis player and whether she was feeling nervous. When the Princess asked if she had any advice for her ahead of her own appearance, the child replied: “Don’t be nervous [and] take deep breaths.” The Princess responded: “Take deep breaths, okay, I’ll remember that. Thank you.” The Princess and Ms. Jevans then headed to the royal box. As the Princess took her seat, there was a standing ovation from the crowd. Centre Court rises to give a warm welcome to our Patron HRH The Princess of Wales 💜💚#Wimbledon pic.twitter.com/BG3Ar7XMWv — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 12, 2025 A wave from the Princess. The Princess and Billie Jean King, as the tennis legend acknowledged the crowd. Then it was time for the match. Below, Iga Świątek and Amanda Anisimova as they waited to take to the court. A wide shot of the royal box. The temperature was 90° F as the match got underway, according to Weather.com. Iga Świątek celebrates winning a point. The Princess enjoying a cool beverage during the match. It was a short match, just 57 minutes. More from this NY Times story. Poland’s No. 8 seed prevailed over the No. 13 seed from the United States in a one-sided clinic of a match, ultimately decided by Anisimova’s nerves, Świątek’s clear-headed tactics and the relentlessness that makes her one of the best players in the world. There’s no other explanation. A Grand Slam final. A Wimbledon final. The Princess of Wales. As Carlos Alcaraz said after his first match here this year, “Wimbledon is different.” The Princess greeted ball boys and girls as she arrived on the court to award the trophies. She also greeted umpires and line judges. The Princess with Amanda Anisimova. And awarding Ms. Świątek with the champion's Venus Rosewater Dish, a silver salver measuring 18.75 inches in diameter. The Princess applauded both women. More from the Wimbledon site. Receiving the Venus Rosewater Dish from the Princess of Wales, the Patron of the All England Club, made a remarkable afternoon even more memorable for Swiatek. “On the court, she congratulated me and said some nice stuff about my performance. I didn’t want to make a faux pas. Since I was a kid, I’ve been a big fan of the royals,” she said. And now we turn to our look at what Kate wore for today's match, a style I believe is another midi dress by Self Portrait. (I also think it's another dress that can initially look like separates.) The single-breasted jacket portion of the dress has a military or utility feel to it, with a mandarin collar, short sleeves, pocket flaps (I don't know if they're functional pockets) at the hip and bodice, a self-belt, and self-covered buttons. It very much looks like a bespoke Self Portrait piece. You can see the similarities between today's look and the Lime Boucle Collared Chiffon Midi Dress worn for the Ladies' final in 2023. The Princess carried a new bag today by Anya Hindmarch in chalk-colored leather. The Neeson Small Square Tote ($1490) showcases woven leather, adjustable handle length, and the signature Anya Hindmarch bow woven into the leather. It is available in a larger size ($2050) at Marissa Collections. Thank you to Ellie, Kate Middleton Style Blog, and Middleton Maven for this ID. The Princess brought back her Gianvito Rossi’s Ribbon Sling Pumps (now sold out) in the 85mm heel height. (I show them below left in another color and fabric.) The Princess wore a new pair of Ralph Lauren sunglasses. With thanks to Carly at Kate Middleton Style for the ID, they appear to be the Ralph by Ralph Lauren Cateye style ($79.50) in Black Havana. The sunglasses are also available at Designer Optics ($78), Glasses.com ($79.50), Sunglass Hut ($106), and Lenscrafters ($53 for the frame only, I believe.) We saw what could be a new Halcyon Days bangle. In some light, it looks like the Maya Torque Bangle ($215, sold out) in the Diamond colorway. The bracelet is 18ct gold-plated twisted brass with glass cabochon stones. In other lighting, the stones almost look light blue, so I'm not 100% convinced it is this piece. The Princess also had on her Cartier Trinity Earrings ($3350) and her Wimbledon pin in the Club's purple and green colors. This Today piece offers more on the pin's significance. A representative for the AELTC told TODAY Style the duchess’s bow is reserved for the club’s patron, president, committee of management, vice presidents and four members of their executive staff. I'll leave you with a video posted by Kensington Palace after the match. A wonderful day at The @Wimbledon Championships! Congratulations @iga_swiatek on a brilliant victory! 👏🎾 pic.twitter.com/jDr1b7uJCj — The Prince and Princess of Wales (@KensingtonRoyal) July 12, 2025 I am expecting we'll see the Princess again tomorrow for the Men's Final match between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.
