Princess Catherine shines bright at first Royal Garden Party in 2 years
Catherine, Princess of Wales, returned with flair to the Royal Garden Party season on Tuesday after a two-year, cancer-induced hiatus. It was the first garden party the Prince and Princess of Wales have attended this year, and the third one of the season launched two weeks ago by King Charles and Queen Camilla. Middleton last attended a garden party in May 2023, days after the king's coronation. The princess has been making her way back into public life since announcing that she was in remission after finishing chemotherapy. Tuesday's surprise appearance saw Kate vibrant in the same butter yellow Emilia Wickstead dress she had worn for Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee in 2022, according to Women's Wear Daily. In a romantic gesture, the future queen also donned her wedding-day earrings, imbued with extra meaning because they were commissioned by her parents for the special day, as Town & Country noted. In general, Kate has downplayed her fashion choices and is known for re-wearing and restyling previous pieces. Royal Garden Parties are held to recognize and reward public service, as the royals' official website describes. About 30,000 guests, many linked to causes championed by royal family members, attend over the course of the four-party season. Tuesday's guests included the family of Liz Hatton, a teen photographer whom the princess met late last year while undergoing her own cancer treatment. Hatton died weeks later at age 17, just 10 months after being diagnosed. Also among the guests was a boy who had been thwarted by traffic en route to last year's garden party, People reported. This year he finally got to meet Prince William.
