Catherine, Princess of Wales, made a public appearance at the Easter Matins Service in Windsor alongside Prince William and their three children. The family returned after skipping the event for two years while she underwent cancer treatment. She wore a new cream hat from milliner Juliette Botterill with a familiar Self Portrait dress.
The Wales family gathered for the Easter Matins Service at St. George’s Chapel on the grounds of Windsor Castle on Easter Sunday. Catherine, Princess of Wales—known as Kate Middleton—joined Prince William, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis for the occasion. This marked their first attendance in two years, as Catherine had focused on her cancer treatment during that period. The appearance was warmly received by onlookers. The princess chose a cream Self Portrait dress featuring lace appliqués on its blazer-like top and full midi skirt, last seen in 2022 during an engagement with Princess Anne. She accessorized with Bahrain pearl drop earrings, a toffee-colored Nano Montreal bag from DeMellier, and gold calfskin Ralph Lauren pumps. Her standout piece was a new teardrop-shaped cream hat adorned with leaf appliqués from London-based milliner Juliette Botterill, a favorite brand in her collection of at least eight hats. Princess Charlotte complemented her mother in a latte and brown tailored coat with a collar. Prince George and Prince Louis matched their father in navy suits and blue ties. The royal Easter tradition at Windsor has long featured vibrant spring outfits, with past appearances by figures like Princess Diana and Queen Elizabeth showcasing pastels and elaborate headpieces.
