Two days after attending Trooping the Colour, the Princess of Wales stepped out in another exquisite ensemble. Catherine exuded elegance on Monday, June 16, at the Order of the Garter service in Windsor.
For the occasion, Her Royal Highness recycled the Self-Portrait Tailored Bouclé and Chiffon Midi Dress she wore just last month to the celebratory concert marking the 80th anniversary of VE Day and to the Platinum Party at the Palace in 2022. As in May, Catherine accessorized the gorgeous design with her five-strand faux pearl necklace from Susan Caplan and the same earrings she wore to the concert, also from the vintage jewelry brand.

Several members of the royal family gathered at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor for the service, including King Charles, Queen Camilla, the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Princess Anne, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester.

Alongside photos from this year’s Garter Day, the Waleses’ social media accounts wrote: “A pleasure attending the Order of the Garter today in Windsor. A brilliant celebration of tradition, service and duty. Thank you to everyone involved.”
The Princess of Wales, who shared last September that she had finished her chemotherapy treatment and announced this past January that she is in remission, arrived at the service with the Duchess of Edinburgh on Monday, and later left in a carriage with her husband Prince William.
Catherine also rode in a carriage on Saturday at Trooping the Colour. The Princess and her three kids, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, traveled from Buckingham Palace to Horse Guards Parade in the Ascot Landau carriage, while Prince William participated in the King’s birthday parade, riding on horseback. It was a stylish mother-daughter outing for Catherine and Charlotte, who coordinated in aquamarine looks. The Waleses later shared a family snapshot on social media, writing, “Another brilliant day at Trooping the Colour for His Majesty’s Birthday Parade. Thank you to everybody who came, and to all those who took part.”
