Recent reports suggest Kate Middleton made a subtle gesture toward Meghan Markle and Prince Harry by wearing the same Philip Treacy hat to a Buckingham Palace garden party on May 20, 2025, that she wore to their 2018 wedding. This choice, the day after the couple’s seventh anniversary, was interpreted by some as an olive branch amid their ongoing rift.

The move sparked speculation about reconciliation, with some believing Princess Diana, known for her desire for family unity, would have been pleased by such a gesture. However, tensions persist, with reports indicating Prince William remains cautious, fearing any communication could be misinterpreted or used in future tell-alls. No direct response from Meghan has been reported, but the gesture has stirred public and media interest.
