As a journalist, I was caught off guard by the surprising turn of events in the royal news this month. It all began with a false report that Kate Middleton had attended a dress rehearsal for Trooping the Colour, which was quickly corrected by the palace. Princess Catherine then apologized for missing the rehearsal, leaving everyone uncertain about her presence at the actual event celebrating King Charles’s birthday.
However, Kate Middleton surprised us all by revealing a new photo and confirming her attendance at Trooping the Colour on social media. She excitedly mentioned looking forward to the event with her family, causing a frenzy in the royal headlines. Her appearance at the parade alongside her children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, was a sight to behold. She looked elegant in a white dress by Jenny Packham, accessorized with a Phillip Treacy hat and the Irish Guards Regimental Brooch.
What made this even more impressive was that Princess Catherine wore an ensemble that she had previously worn when she greeted well-wishers before King Charles’s coronation last year. This showcased her commitment to sustainability by recycling her outfits. Despite initially missing this detail in the midst of a busy month of royal news, I admire Princess Catherine for bringing back such an iconic ensemble. Her impeccable style and commitment to sustainability continue to impress fans and royal watchers alike.
