Princess Of Wales

The Jenny Packham dress that Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, wore for Trooping the Colour was familiar, hopeful, and classic Kate Middleton. Here Vogue looks at the symbolism behind Kate’s latest look.

On 14 June, the night before Trooping the Colour, Kate Middleton made a surprise announcement: she would attend the official state celebration with the rest of the royal family. It made worldwide news. This would not only be the Princess of Wales’s first public appearance in six months but the first since she shared her cancer diagnosis.

Internet sleuths also quickly deduced that the dress was upcycled: the princess wore a remarkably similar look to a coronation lunch in May 2024 and updated it with a black-and-white-striped belt and a bow. She picked something that felt reassuringly familiar and, most of all, like classic Kate. Which was probably the point. There’s an oft repeated quote by Queen Elizabeth: “I must be seen to be believed”. The Princess of Wales knows this better than anyone.
