Duchess Kate publicly appeared alongside her closest family members for the first time in almost six months. The British public reacted with great enthusiasm to her new photos. As usual, the 42-year-old was impressed with her meticulously thought-out styling.
Fighting cancer, Duchess Kate has been receiving support from millions of her countrymen who miss her for several months now. The future queen has adopted a sensible strategy of withholding information about her treatment progress, aware that global media will relay it on her behalf. Unexpectedly, on Friday evening, she announced her presence at the Trooping the Colour military parade, which will be her first public appearance since attending the church service at St. Mary Magdalene's on Christmas Day.
In the past few hours, the British royal family enthusiasts have wondered how the Duchess of Wales will present herself at the ceremony. Known for her great class, William's wife impressed everyone, who cheered for her just after she stepped out of the royal carriage with her children.
Duchess Kate chose a modest but striking white dress by Jenny Packham with a black belt and a distinctive bow tied at the collar for Saturday's event. A monochromatic wide-brimmed hat from Philip Treacy's latest collection perfectly complements the outfit.
The long-awaited return of the British woman wouldn't be complete without emphasizing her environmentally friendly approach to fashion, characterized by selecting wardrobe items she has already worn. Besides the aforementioned dress, which she previously wore at one of the events associated with King Charles III's coronation, these included white pearl flower-shaped earrings by Cassandra Goad. Kate last wore them during last year's women's final at the Wimbledon tournament. She also chose again a suede clutch with the Mulberry logo and leather pumps by Jimmy Choo.
