Kate Middleton Marks Easter With a Reworn Favorite

Kate Middleton returned for the annual Easter Matins Service at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle on April 5, after being absent from the service in previous years due to health reasons. The Princess of Wales, her husband Prince William and their three children, joined the king and queen for the traditional celebration.

For the occasion, Kate wore a cream dress she had previously worn in 2022 for a royal engagement with Princess Anne. The Self-Portrait dress featured a blazer-cut bodice, defined by long sleeves, a belted waist and a midi skirt. Lace appliqués were designed across the top as well as side-flap pockets.

She continued the monochrome moment with a fascinator designed with floral motifs. Kate wore Bahrain pearl drop earrings crafted from rare pearls that had been gifted to Queen Elizabeth II by the Hakim of Bahrain during her 1947 wedding.

She completed the look with Ralph Lauren gold calfskin pumps, adding a warm contrast to the cream palette, and carried a small toffee-colored bag by London-based designer DeMellier. Walking alongside her daughter, Princess Charlotte who wore a chocolate brown coat layered over a blue dress, a quiet nod to her mother’s long-favored Easter color, even as Kate Middleton departed from her signature shades this year.

This year marks the sixth time she has attended Easter Sunday celebration in the Windsor, and most of the times, Kate has favored the shade of blue. During the family’s last appearance in 2023, she wore a royal blue Catherine Walker & Co. coat dress, with a matching hat and clutch. She was absent in 2024 and 2025 while undergoing cancer treatment.
