Kate Middleton and Queen Camilla Just Rewore Key Pieces From Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's 2018 Wedding
Recently, Kate rewore the accessory to a garden party, and Camilla turned to the blush-hued dress for a state visit to Canada.
Royal experts believe that the two may have been sending a signal by rewearing the pieces, as the looks came just days after Harry and Meghan's seventh wedding anniversary.While much of the focus was on Meghan Markle's boatneck gown during her 2018 nuptials to Prince Harry at St. George's Chapel, the public also took notice of the rest of the royal family's looks. For the occasion, Kate Middleton donned an off-white Alexander McQueen coat-style dress with a coordinated fascinator, while Queen Camilla (who was then the Duchess of Cornwall) wore a blush-hued ensemble with a choker-style necklace. And though Meghan may never rewear her gown, it appears as though Kate and Camilla are still found of their looks from the 2018 fête. On Tuesday, May 20, Kate rewore the Philip Treacy hat she selected for her brother-in-law's ceremony to a garden party at Buckingham Palace. And less than a week later—on Monday, May 26—Camilla wore the same pink dress she had donned for the wedding during a state visit to Canada with Prince Charles.
The royals' decision to showcase the pieces again isn't necessarily surprising, as Kate has been known to rewear her go-to looks. In fact, the dress she donned for Harry and Meghan's wedding was one she had previously debuted at another important engagement: the 2015 christening of Princess Charlotte. A few years after Harry and Meghan's nuptials, she also wore the piece for the 2022 Anzac Day Service of Commemoration and Thanksgiving at Westminster Abbey. However, during all three occasions, she made sure to slightly alter her look, opting to pair the coat-style dress with a different hat. Yet, on May 20, it was the fascinator from the 2018 ceremony that made its return. For the garden party, Kate wore the piece with a butter yellow Emilia Wickstead dress and the earrings she featured on her own wedding day.

During a recent visit to Canada with Charles, Camilla made the opposite decision from her daughter-in-law, opting to don the dress she wore to Harry and Meghan's nuptials—without the fascinator. The pink-hued look, which was designed by Anna Valentine, was paired with neutral pumps, a Van Cleef and Arpels clover bracelet, a maple brooch, and a pendant that includes the initials of her grandchildren, according to Hello!.
Some speculate that the two's decision to rewear such pieces may have been a nod to Harry and Meghan, particularly since they donned the looks shortly after the duo's seventh wedding anniversary, which fell on May 19, 2025. Others hypothesized that Kate's selection of the fascinator may have had more to do with the recent revelations that she and Meghan were both in tears over a dispute regarding the bridesmaid dresses for the latter's wedding, which has been the subject of media attention for years. "The truth is that during the discussions about the bridesmaid's dress Meghan said a few things she regretted and Kate said a few things she later regretted, but it was all in the heat of the moment," a staffer said in a new royal biography. "Both women were crying their eyes out!" And while neither party has commented on the latest disclosure, some believe that Kate made a subtle gesture through her choice of accessories.

Prince William and Kate Middleton to start 'new beginnings' in new home
The Prince and Princess of Wales are to move into a new home in Windsor. William and Kate are moving to an eight-bedroom home in Windsor Great Park, with their children, George, Charlotte, and Louis. A Kensington Palace spokesperson said: 'The Wales family will move house later this year.' According to The Sun, the royal couple are paying for the property and renovations themselves, avoiding any extra cost to the taxpayer. The paper reported that work has already started on a minor renovation at the Grade II-listed property. The move will be a short one from their current main home at Adelaide Cottage in Windsor, and the children attend nearby Lambrook School. They also have homes at Anmer Hall in Norfolk and Apartment 1A in Kensington Palace in London. As heir to the throne, William inherited the Duchy of Cornwall estate, a portfolio of land, property and investments valued at more than £1 billion, when his father became King. According to The Sun, Forest Lodge would be worth about £16 million on the open market. The King owns the freehold.

Naughty Goldendoodle Sneaks Into the Bath for Playtime & It's Too Cute
Naughty Goldendoodle Sneaks Into the Bath for Playtime & It's Too Cute originally appeared on PetHelpful. No one said raising a puppy was easy! And a new video online is proof of that fact. Kate probably expected a little mischief when she got a Goldendoodle puppy. But alas, her new dog is definitely a 'menace to society' and now she has people cracking up online. There are things about puppyhood that they don't warn you about. And this was one of them! All Kate wanted to do was clean up after her kids took a bath, but boy did she get a surprise instead. You could tell the dog was up to no good even before the woman turned into the bathroom. 'This dog is an absolute menace to society,' the woman said in the footage. Poor Kate hadn't drained her kids' bathtub yet and the Goldendoodle took advantage of it. She'd made her own personal splash pad in the bathroom! Which was fun for her but was probably not exactly thrilling for Kate.'What are you doing?' the woman asked from behind the camera. 'Oh, just playing around in the tub. Do you want to join?' we can imagine the pup saying. 'Are you living your best life?' the woman teased. Yep, you could certainly say that for sure. 'Oh Stormi Jean, you're such a goober,' she kidded. The comments section absolutely loved Kate's little troublemaker Goldendoodle. What a little sneak! 'Once she realized she wasn't in trouble she went for it!' joked one person. 'I love that you're letting it enjoy the moment,' someone else praised. 'God forbid a girl wants to practice her spelling whilst getting clean,' joked a third person. 'Where did you get a self washing dog? They got that on Amazon?' kidded another commenter. Do Dogs Like Baths? You may have noticed that some dogs love their tub time (or maybe they just like making a mess!), but some dogs really don't like taking baths. Even dogs that like other bodies of water might not love baths. It really depends on the dog and the breed. Some dogs might even get totally spooked from the bath!
