Overview
- Prince William and Catherine hosted the season’s first Buckingham Palace garden party on behalf of King Charles and Queen Camilla.
- Catherine wore a cream-and-black Self-Portrait dress with a tailored top, a polka-dot skirt, and a 3D flower corsage.
- She accessorized with Princess Diana’s triple-strand pearl bracelet and Queen Elizabeth II’s Bahrain pearl drop earrings.
- A vintage wide-brimmed black-and-cream hat by 20th-century British milliner Mitzi Lorenz completed the look.
- The couple’s Instagram post said the party honored public, charity, and community service, and Kensington Palace confirmed the princess will visit Italy next week to study the Reggio Emilia early-childhood approach after missing 2024 parties during cancer treatment.
