Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, made a notable return to the historic Garter Day event at Windsor Castle after undergoing cancer treatment, joining Prince William, King Charles III, and other members of the royal family in the celebration.
Kate Middleton paid tribute to Princess Diana by wearing a black-and-white polka dot midi dress by Alessandra Rich to the Garter Day service at St George's Chapel. The dress is reminiscent of a dress Diana wore to Royal Ascot in 1988. Kate paired the dress with a Philip Treacy headpiece and Jennifer Chamandi heels, both of which were inspired by accessories Diana wore to Ascot. The Italian-born, London-based designer Alessandra Rich has become a go-to for Kate in recent years. The Garter Day service is a 700-year tradition founded by Edward III in 1348 and recognizes contributions of great public service from those honored.
