Kate Middleton Is Ready for Party Season in Emerald Velvet
Party season is well and truly on the horizon—and Kate Middleton, for one, looks ready. The Princess of Wales arrived at the Royal Albert Hall for the Royal Variety Performance on Wednesday night, wearing a form-fitting velvet dress in an impossibly festive shade of green.

Carrying a glittering clutch to echo her diamond chandelier earrings, and with her signature blow-dried waves tumbling over her shoulders, Kate’s look perfectly…

The Story Behind Kate Middleton’s Armistice Earrings
Yesterday afternoon, the wind-lashed expanse of the National Memorial Arboretum played host to a significant chapter in the modern history of the Windsors, as Kate Middleton—Catherine, Princess of Wales—arrived to represent the royals at the annual Service of Remembrance. Not only was it Catherine’s debut at the event—and a rare appearance by a non-blood royal in that role—but also an occasion she personally helped shape, having commissioned the poet Arji Manuelpillai to write a tribute for the proceedings. Titled, A Sonnet For Us All, Manuelpillai wrote the piece to “shine a light on the bonds and relationships that lay often hidden by conflict. Those quiet acts of care, the friendships…

A Definitive Ranking of All of Meghan Markle’s Film and Television Roles
Again, this was an uncredited role, so it’s hard to rank it any higher than this, but good for young Meg for getting cast on this hit series! Back in the ’90s, she was on a very famous TV show, if you will! 25. Kirsten in Anti-Social (2015) We love to see Markle high up on the call sheet, where she belongs—but even that couldn’t save this frankly awful movie. Important Meg-dating-a-rakish-Brit foreshadowing, though! 24. Teresa Santos on Love, Inc. (2005) Yet another cute-girl role for Markle (this one is an MTA employee!), but she doesn’t bring quite as much aplomb to it as she does to other examples of…

Prince George Joins His Mother Kate Middleton for a Dapper Royal Debut
Photo: Getty Images The Princess’s fashion also spoke to the style tenets of Princess Diana; particularly her penchant for prairie-esque collars. Her earrings also once belonged to the late Queen Elizabeth II, who received them as a wedding present in 1947 from the Hakim of Bahrain. She was often photographed wearing them to galas and other Royal occasions, and sat for a portrait with the jewels in her earlobes in the 1950s. They were also loaned by the Queen to Princess Diana. Catherine also wore her sapphire engagement ring that famously once belonged to Diana. Photo: Getty Images Photo: Getty Images It’s been a few weeks since we last saw…

Kate Middleton Strikes a Dapper Figure in Her Most Trusted Fall Fashion Staple
The Princess of Wales has always been a fan of a timeless, immaculately tailored blazer. Look, there she is in a pin-striped blazer from Blazé Milano, and there she is in a tweed blazer from Ralph Lauren. In fact, in the past, we’ve even gone so far as to rate all of her best blazers—although that was in 2023, so I’m sure there are many more. Kate Middleton’s latest addition to the blazer collection? A sharp-shouldered black number, paired with a ruffled collarless shirt and high-waisted suit trousers, with some smoky eye make-up to top things off.

Prince William and Princess Charlotte Share a Sweet Moment Cheering on England’s Lionesses to Euros Victory
When England failed to defend a goal against Spain, both William and Charlotte showed visible distress, with William leaning in to share some words with his daughter. They talked animatedly with their Spanish counterparts during the game, enjoying the light rivalry which kept spirits jovial. When the Lionesses sailed to victory, they hugged each other and jumped for joy. Photo: Getty Images Princess William wore a dark suit and subtly patriotic tie, navy with thin red and white stripes. Taking a leaf out of her mother Catherine, Princess of Wales’s style book (who, when together, will often share lovely mother-daughter dressing moments), Charlotte opted to re-wear a frill-shouldered, navy polka-dot…

Inside the Monaco Red Cross Gala, Where Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene Danced Past 1 AM
She added, personally: “Albert, you know that I am always by your side, along with the Monégasques. We are standing with you, with all our hearts, to protect Monaco and its future under your leadership. We love you, we support you, and we thank you for being there for all of us.” She concluded, raising a toast: “Let’s raise our glass to our Prince—to you, Albert!” Following her speech, 10 members of the Prince’s Carabinieri—Monaco’s military guard—performed a moving a cappella version of the Monégasque anthem. Prince Albert sang along from his seat, visibly touched. Around 800 distinguished guests attended the soirée, dressed in black-tie attire and dripping in jewels,…

Kate Middleton’s Best Wimbledon Outfits Through the Years
Since making her debut in the Royal Box in 2011, Kate Middleton’s Wimbledon outfits have fallen loosely into four categories. There are the ones that nod to tennis whites (see: the pleated Temperley design she chose for her first Centre Court appearance as a newlywed); the polka-dotted ones (Kate’s staple summer print); the Wimbledon-green ones (she is, after all, Patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club); and the wild cards (like the mint Balmain blazer she debuted in 2023). For anyone tasked with covering royal fashion, the latter are most welcome—recall her skull-, lipstick-, and butterfly-printed Alexander McQueen dress from 2016’s tournament? But if you’re simply trying…

Kate Middleton and Princess Charlotte Opt for Aquamarine for Trooping the Colour 2025
Trooping the Colour is the annual official celebration of the reigning monarch’s birthday; it’s a joyful occasion, featuring the Royal families in a mode of celebration—and if you’re Prince Louis, with a bit of cheekiness and carry on—with outfits to match, to see and be seen. Kate Middleton has long made it the time to debut her most striking, spirited looks. Crowds gathered in their thousands to watch the parades in central London that continued down the Mall toward Buckingham Palace, seeing members of the Royal family arrive in their house-drawn carriages. Catherine, Princess of Wales, husband Princess William, and their children George, Charlotte, and Louis were among them. The…
