Royal Fashion Diary! Kate Middleton stuns in white Jenny Packham dress and white hat for Trooping the Colour
Kate Middleton at Trooping the Colour
All eyes were on Princess Kate Middleton as she joined the royal family for King Charles' official birthday parade, Trooping the Colour, on June 15 in London. This marked her first public appearance in six months following her cancer diagnosis and subsequent chemotherapy announcement in March.
Looking gorgeous as ever, Princess Kate wore a white Jenny Packham dress featuring black trim and ribbon embellishments on the neckline. Her hair was elegantly styled in a braided bun under a white hat by Philip Treacy. To accessories, she opted for Cassandra Goad Cavolfiore Pearl Studs, previously seen at Prince Louis' christening in 2018 and Wimbledon in 2023, and wore the Irish Guards Regimental Brooch, symbolising her honorary role as colonel of the regiment.
The Princess travelled in the Glass Coach with her children, Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6, and later joined the royal family on the Buckingham Palace balcony.

Last year, Kate wore a bright green dress by Andrew Gn with a matching Philip Treacy hat for Trooping the Colour, a choice seen as a nod to the location of Prince William's Earthshot Prize awards. She completed the look with Princess Diana's sapphire and diamond earrings and the Irish Guards' gold shamrock brooch.
Princess Kate has attended Trooping the Colour every year since 2011, except during the scaled-down events of 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, Kate's attendance was confirmed on June 14 through a personal letter, updating the public on her cancer treatment. She expressed her anticipation for the event and shared plans to engage in more public appearances over the summer, while noting her ongoing battle with chemotherapy.
"I’m looking forward to attending the King’s Birthday Parade this weekend with my family and hope to join a few public engagements over the summer, but equally knowing I am not out of the woods yet. I am learning how to be patient, especially with uncertainty. Taking each day as it comes, listening to my body, and allowing myself to take this much-needed time to heal,"wrote Kate.
