From chic summer dresses to smart pastel blazers, the Princess of Wales always gets a round of applause for her looks on the Buckingham Palace balcony. Middleton has been a staple at the Royal event since 2011, when she made her debut shortly after marrying Prince William. Over the years, Middleton has stepped out on the balcony while pregnant, with an infant and now waves to crowds with her three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. Middleton's 2024 appearance was more special than ever, given the fact that she has been out of the public eye for months amid her cancer treatment.
