Kate Middleton

Kate Middleton channeled Princess Diana at the 2022 Trooping the Colour by wearing an item from her late mother-in-law's personal collection.

Middleton has been known to take inspiration from Princess Diana’s iconic style while attending major royals events, and this look was no exception. The duchess opted for a pink lip and brown smoky eye, keeping her hair pulled back in an intricate updo to allow her hat to take center stage. Middleton looked positively regal in a white Alexander McQueen blazer dress and complementary blue and white Philip Treacy hat.

The Duchess wore one of her classic coat dresses by Alexander McQueen in white, previously seen on Kate at the G7 summit in Cornwall this time last year. Kate and William were accompanied by their three children, Prince George, eight, Princess Charlotte, seven, and Prince Louis, four, to wave to crowds who gathered in central London in honor of Her Majesty’s 70 years on the throne. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge joined the royal family on the balcony at Buckingham Palace to kick off a long weekend of celebrations to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee today.

The ring's central faceted oval Ceylon sapphire is estimated to be 12 carats and is surrounded by 14 round diamonds. While it's not clear why Kate waited until now to wear the earrings publicly, she clearly has her favorites and the smaller ones may just be easier to wear. The giant sapphire was originally a brooch, gifted to Diana by the Queen Mother as a wedding present.

Kate completed her Trooping the Color outfit with earrings from her late mother-in-law's jewelry collection.

The three royal kids made their Trooping the Colour carriage debut this year, riding alongside Kate and Camilla, Duchess of Cambridge. However, this is the first time Kate has worn these specific earrings in public. Trooping the Colour is the first of many events the Cambridges are expected to attend this weekend in celebration of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.

Kate Middleton and Prince William famously dated for nearly a decade before getting engaged. Here, their relationship history in full.

"Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge was safely delivered of a son at 1101hrs," a statement announcing the birth of Kate and William's third child — the fifth in the line of succession — read. Honestly, you get to the end of the day and you write down the list of all the things that you've done in that day. The couple launched a website for the Royal Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in July 2012, which showcased their charitable works. "The Queen and members of both families are delighted with the news." Ludo was reportedly a welcome source of comfort to Kate as Prince William embarked on a six-week military mission to the Falkland Islands just months into their marriage. For his 30th birthday on June 21, 2012, Prince William reportedly enjoyed tubing with a speedboat with friends despite the chilly — and choppy — weather conditions. "The Queen has today been pleased to confer a Dukedom on Prince William of Wales," the announcement read. In January 2012, Kate and William expanded their family with a cocker spaniel puppy. "Prince William and Miss Middleton became engaged in October during a private holiday in Kenya," the statement read. "Prince William has informed The Queen and other close members of his family. After roughly a year of keeping their relationship under wraps, pictures of Kate and William looking extra-cozy on the slopes at Klosters Ski Resort in Switzerland were published by The Sun on April 1, 2004. The couple moved out of their four-bedroom apartment and into a place of their own circa 2003.

Prince William and Kate Middleton were all smiles attending the Service of Thanksgiving on Friday as part of Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee.

“The Queen greatly enjoyed today’s Birthday Parade and Flypast but did experience some discomfort,” a spokesperson for the royal family said in a statement on Thursday. The statement concluded, “The Queen is looking forward to participating in [Thursday night’s] Beacon lighting event at Windsor Castle and would like to thank all those who made today such a memorable occasion.” Unfortunately, the Queen herself was absent after feeling “discomfort” during Thursday’s Jubilee festivities.

She and Prince William have arrived for the National Service of Thanksgiving honoring Queen Elizabeth.

"A regrettable but sensible decision based on the journey, length of time involved and the physical demands a service at St Paul’s inevitably involve. Other royals in attendance at today's affair include Prince Harry, Duchess Meghan, and Princess Anne. However, the guest of honor—Queen Elizabeth—is notably absent from the event. The Duchess of Cambridge arrived today with husband Prince William at St. Paul's Cathedral—where a National Service of Thanksgiving for Queen Elizabeth is taking place—wearing a sunny yellow look.

Prince William and Kate sat on the opposite side of the aisle from Meghan and Harry. The service marked the first time that the Cambridges and Sussexes have been seen together as a foursome since Commonwealth Day in March 2020, which was Harry and Meghan's final royal appearance before they stepped back from their roles as senior working royals. She accessorized with the Bahrain Pearl Drop Earrings, a pair straight from her grandmother-in-law's jewelry box that she has borrowed before. Harry also kept his eyes forward.
