Kate Middleton made a stunning appearance at the Order of the Garter Service at Windsor Castle, showing her support for her husband Prince William. The Duchess of Cambridge donned a stylish long-sleeved white dress with black polka dots by Alessandra Rich, complete with a coordinating hat by Philip Treacy. This event marked Prince William’s first time walking in the procession as the heir to the throne, and he sported the traditional hat adorned with ostrich feather plumes. Previously, he had worn his Order of the Garter adornments during King Charles’ coronation in May. Prince William has been attending this ceremony for years, always accompanied by his wife, Kate Middleton. Their carriage ride together during the procession has become a notable tradition.

Kate Middleton has been attending the Order of the Garter ceremony with Prince William since 2008, which was the same year Prince William received his knighthood. This event was significant for their relationship, as it symbolized Kate Middleton’s acceptance into the royal family. Two years later, Prince William proposed to her with his late mother, Princess Diana’s, ring. At the recent Order of the Garter Service, King Charles III led the procession for the first time as the reigning monarch, accompanied by Queen Camilla. The event took place amidst a heatwave that has been affecting England, with temperatures reaching highs of 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit). Unfortunately, a member of the Household Cavalry fainted before the service began. Last week, during the Trooping the Colour parade rehearsal, at least three British soldiers also fainted due to the heat.
The Order of the Garter is the oldest and most prestigious Order of Chivalry in Britain. It dates back to King Edward III in the 1300s, who was inspired by the legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. The order now welcomes both men and women, and recipients are chosen by the Sovereign based on their contributions to national life or their personal service to the monarch. Other members of the royal family included in the order are Princess Anne, Prince Edward, the Duke of Kent, the Duke of Gloucester, and Princess Alexandra. Notably, Prince Harry is not a member of the Order, while his uncle Prince Andrew is, although he hasn’t been involved in royal duties since 2019. Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle were not invited to the Trooping the Colour celebration, as reported by People magazine. However, Prince Harry recently visited the country for his defamation lawsuit against the publisher of the Daily Mirror.
