Why Kate Middleton Is No Longer Wearing Her Engagement Ring That Belonged to Princess Diana
Kate wowed in an aqua coatdress set that was from Catherine Walker, also known as Princess Diana's go-to designer. Along with that, she honored the late Queen Elizabeth II by rewearing the Bahrain Pearl Earrings, which were Elizabeth's favorite. Kate has worn them numerous times since 2016, including at Elizabeth's funeral.
So she had not one, but two tributes for the big day!
The Duchess of Cambridge was joined by her husband, Prince William, and their three children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. Ahead of the event, it was reported that Charlotte was assigned the duty of keeping her younger sibling, Louis, in check. The young prince is known for his wild antics, which we love every year, so we're sure his mom was glad of the help!
Middleton has been attending Trooping the Colour since 2011, the year she married William. Last year's appearance was particularly special as it marked her return to public duties after taking a six-month hiatus during which she revealed she was undergoing treatment for cancer.
'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,' Middleton wrote in a letter ahead of the 2024 event. '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.'
After finishing her treatment, Middleton no doubt attended this year's Trooping the Colour in a great headspace, and the photos proved it!

Queen Camilla's Regal White Dress Reigns at Trooping the Colour
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." For the 2025 Trooping the Colour—the annual celebration of the monarch's official birthday—Queen Camilla embraced timeless elegance. In honor of this year's festivities, the royal opted for an understated ensemble and donned a white silk crepe midi dress embroidered with silver detailing by Anna Valentine. Of course, if there's one thing you can count on the royals to deliver every time, it's a good headpiece. The look was completed with a custom slanted-brim hat by milliner Philip Treacy. She further accessorized with a white clutch and a pair of beige pointed-toe pumps that subtly broke from the otherwise tonal ensemble. Her ensemble's most sentimental element came in the form of a Grenadier Guards brooch—a design incorporating the Royal Cypher beneath a crown and encircled by a blue garter bearing the Order of the Garter's motto: 'Honi soit qui mal y pense,' or 'Shame on he who thinks ill of it.' While her palette remained restrained, other royal family members decided to lean into color. Notably, Princess Charlotte and Kate Middleton made a striking statement in coordinated mother-daughter aquamarine looks. Camilla arrived at this year's event alongside King Charles in a carriage rather than horseback, a change made for a second year amid his ongoing cancer treatment. The two later joined the rest of the senior members of the royal family on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for the traditional military flypast. Though the sitting monarch's birthday actually falls in November, the summer ceremony has long served as the monarch's official birthday celebration.

Meghan Markle's ex-pal slams her and Prince Harry's decision to quit royal life: ‘They had it all'
Meghan Markle's former friend has slammed her and Prince Harry's decision to turn their backs on the royal family, saying the pair 'had it all' before moving to the US. TV presenter Lizzie Cundy, who struck up a friendship with the Duchess of Sussex in 2013, branded the duo 'complete failures' who 'blew it' by skipping out on royal festivities. 'They whinge, they moan, they criticize and they are not very grateful. They had it all,' Cundy told GB News. Advertisement 4 Meghan Markle's former friend has slammed her and Prince Harry's decision to turn their backs on the royal family. GB News Cundy, who no longer boasts a friendship with the 'Suits' alum, expressed her frustration about the couple's absence from Saturday's Trooping the Colour ceremony — before it emerged that they weren't invited. 'Watching Trooping the Colour today, I get the sense they really missed out. They really blew it,' she said of the pair. 'The only thing they are good at is spending money.' Advertisement As for her ill-fated friendship with the As Ever founder, Cundy said that Markle severed ties after she met the 'Spare' author in 2016. 'I was a dating service for Meghan Markle and she ghosted me,' Cundy said, suggesting that she had previously assisted Markle in her romantic life. 4 Cundy called the duo 'complete failures' who 'blew it' by skipping out on royal festivities. Getty Images 4 The TV presenter struck up a friendship with the Duchess of Sussex in 2013. W8Media / MEGA Advertisement 'She didn't answer me back when she got with Prince Harry. I didn't work for her again and I can understand why people are leaving her.' The Post has reached out to reps for the Sussexes for comment. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were notably absent from Saturday's royal ceremony after it had emerged that they did not receive an invitation. Advertisement This marked the third year in a row that the pair had been left out of royal festivities amid their ongoing feud with the Windsor clan. The last time Markle, 43, and the Invictus Games founder, 40, attended the military parade was when they celebrated the late Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee in 2022. But even then, they were forced to watch from a separate balcony alongside other non-working royals. The Sussexes have been kept at an arm's length following Her Late Majesty's death in September 2022 and Charles' ascension to the throne. 4 The Sussexes were not invited to attend this year's Trooping the Colour ceremony. Getty Images This year's event was a defining moment for King Charles as he showed up despite dealing with ongoing health issues. His Majesty sent a message of unity by attending his celebration and standing in front of the British public while still undergoing cancer treatment after revealing his diagnosis in February 2024.
