Fashion is surely a form of expression, one that the Royal Family is speculated to be using despite their pale and proper colors. And there could be no better a chance for one to express than at a garden party, one can suppose. Or maybe it accounts for a simple pulling together of outfits that have long been a resident in a princess' closet. Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, could pull off both, in fact. This time, she has used her outfit to pay an ode to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding day.

How do the Royal Family really communicate when they are not speaking? Kate Middleton has come breaking some answers to her annual garden party appearance this time.

Having appeared in a pale yellow ensemble at the garden party set for UK's most charitable citizens, the Princess of Wales had dressed as properly as painfully possible. Save for one particular accessory that stood out in the crowd, and in memory. Put together with her yellow dress and bejeweled earrings, Middleton's Philip Treacy hat can very well be interpreted as a tribute to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding. 

While Middleton has made it a point to attend at least one garden party every year, these outings had been put to a stop following her cancer treatments in 2024. The Princess of Wales, dressed elegantly in a pale yellow dress, for this particular occasion. Donning a pair of Robinson Pehlam earrings from her own wedding completed her ensemble with her very apparent floral hat that she had worn to Meghan Markle and Prince William's wedding. The Princess' dress in itself seems like a pull right off the runway, but, surprisingly, had been a part of her closet for a good few years.

A recent tale from the insider has brought out new details that have been caught in one's monocle glasses, it seems. A detail that followed a tussle between the Princess of Wales and the Duchess of Sussex. The two Royal Family members had been under public scrutiny for having been on heated terms, but it was revealed in Yas Ma'am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants by Tom Quinn, a commentary on the lives of the Royal Family, that the two had been upset over Princess Charlotte's bridesmaid dress for the 2018 wedding, of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. But despite the incident having escalated, the two princesses had amended things between them, maintaining cordiality and friendship till today.

A family that fights with each other definitely stays together, and the Royal Family proves as great evidence for it. Be it with notes and flowers across halls or with hats and earrings through the internet, a refreshing solidarity, even if assumed by one, creates hopes for it to stay. Kate Middleton seems to have done the same in her cordiality towards Meghan Markle, as far as one could sleuth.
