Princess Kate Makes Sunny Appearance at Buckingham Palace Garden Party
Princess Kate, recently recovered from her cancer treatment, made a radiant return to royal duties at a Buckingham Palace garden party on May 20th. This marked the Prince and Princess of Wales’ first time hosting a garden party this year, and a significant appearance for the Princess.
The Princess opted for a cheerful butter-yellow coat dress, a nod to the popular springtime hue currently favored by many celebrities. The elegant ensemble featured long sleeves, a criss-cross waist, and an ankle-length skirt.
Complementing the dress, she wore her hair up, simple heels, and a familiar accessory – the same hat she wore to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding in 2018. This fashionable recycling of a wardrobe staple has been met with approval from fans who appreciate the Princess’s sustainable approach to fashion.
The Princess’s appearance delighted attendees, who were happy to see her looking healthy and engaging with guests on the palace lawn. Photos from the event quickly circulated on social media, sparking positive comments about her look.
While many praised the “beautiful” color and her healthy appearance, the re-worn hat drew particular attention, with some calling the choice “shocking” given the current state of affairs between the Waleses and the Sussexes. One commenter noted the hat’s intriguing quality, stating, “It changes at every angle.”
This garden party appearance follows the royal couple’s recent trip to Scotland for their 14th wedding anniversary, marking the Princess’s first overnight trip since announcing her recovery. Royal watchers are thrilled to see her resuming public engagements and eagerly anticipate her future fashion choices this summer.
