It was an exceedingly busy weekend for Kate Middleton at Trooping the Colour, where she was given a “powerful” role and channeled Princess Diana in an aquamarine Catherine Walker coat dress. On Monday, June 16, Princess Kate stepped out in support of her husband, Prince William, at the Order of the Garter service at Windsor Castle. And as queen of the re-wear, Kate’s Garter Day outfit didn’t disappoint.
For the special occasion, which honors individuals for their service to society and the Royal Family, Princess Kate selected a Self-Portrait dress she’s worn more than once. The Cream Tailored Bouclé And Chiffon Midi Dress features a structured blazer jacket top and a partially sheer, layered lace skirt, and retails for $570.
The Princess of Wales accessorized the sleek dress with Susan Caplan’s 1980s Vintage 5 Strand Faux Pearl Necklace and a pair of vintage pearl cluster earrings from the designer.

Princess Kate wore her Self-Portrait blazer dress in September 2021 for a reception honoring everyone involved in her Hold Still photography project. The royal also re-wore the dress in June 2022 to attend the Platinum Party at the Palace in honor of Queen Elizabeth II’s 70th anniversary on the throne.
Most recently, Princess Kate re-wore the chic dress to the VE Day concert in May 2025. It was there that the Princess of Wales also wore her pearl jewelry from Jewish designer Susan Caplan, subtly honoring Holocaust victims with her significant choice of accessory.
It looks like this keeps on happening over and over again. Of course, we are talking about Prince William and Kate Middleton and their supposed lack of a decent work ethic.
The Palace Is Frustrated With Prince William And Kate Middleton For This Reason Again
That’s because there’s a new report that suggests palace aides behind closed doors are once again upset that the Prince and Princess of Wales seem to be way behind when it comes to the number of royal engagements and public appearances they’ve made so far this year compared to other members of the royal family.
And while they’ve had an eventful year that has also included Kate Middleton’s battle with her cancer, royal aides still believe that they could put in more effort to show up to work. But sadly, that hasn’t happened.
Then again, the Prince and Princess of Wales have always been called the most ‘work-shy’ couple in the monarchy, despite the fact that they are significantly younger than everyone else.
