The Ever After Garden first opened in 2019 and features 30,000 illuminated roses, each dedicated by members of the public in honour of loved ones. To date, the installation has raised more than £1.2 million for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, which exists solely to support The Royal Marsden, a world-leading cancer centre.

The Princess of Wales spent time speaking with volunteers during her tour of the garden and said: “Thank you to all those who have contributed to the Ever After Garden, which raises vital funds for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity. Every flower, every light, is a memory held together, an illumination of shared love, remembrance, and hope.”

The Princess of Wales also dedicated her own rose, accompanied by a heartfelt message that read: “In loving memory of all those who have lost their lives to cancer.”

For this moving tribute, the Princess wore her Blackwatch tartan Holland Cooper double-breasted coat.
Her boots appear to be the Gianvito Rossi Block Heel Boots in Black Suede.
Kate debuted a new pair of Butler & Wilson double daisy drop earrings in silver, their floral motif subtly echoing the glowing roses that filled the garden.

The event was filmed for broadcast and will be aired by ITV on Christmas Eve.
Kate embraced a festive palette in her forest green Catherine Walker double-breasted wool coat — a bespoke design from the London-based atelier, first seen in March 2020.
Kate elevated the midi coat with a tonal faux-fur lapel collar by Troy London, echoing the way she styled it back in December 2020.
Beneath the coat, Kate revealed a hint of a festive Miu Miu tartan midi skirt, a pleated wool design adorned with sparkling crystal embellishments.
On her feet were the black Ralph Lauren Collection Suede High Heel Boots.
Kate completed the look with Robinson Pelham’s Tsar Star stud and drop earrings, adding a subtle touch of yuletide sparkle.

On Wednesday, the Prince and Princess of Wales were on hand to officially welcome German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and his wife, Elke Büdenbender, on behalf of His Majesty The King, as they arrived at Heathrow Airport to commence a three-day State Visit to the United Kingdom.

The Prince and Princess of Wales then accompanied the presidential couple by car to Windsor. Around midday, they joined King Charles III and Queen Camilla in the Quadrangle for the Ceremonial Welcome.
After the military pageantry, the presidential couple joined Their Majesties and Their Royal Highnesses for a carriage procession through the Windsor estate to Windsor Castle for a private luncheon.
This was followed by a visit to the Green Drawing Room, where they viewed a special exhibition of German-related pieces from the Royal Collection.

For the State Visit welcome, the Princess revisited a look first worn on Christmas Day 2023, opting once again for her bespoke blue midi wool coat by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen.
Kate accessorized with many of the same pieces she paired with the coat in 2023, including the Juliette Botterill’s 'Bow and Arrow' Percher Hat in teal blue.
She carried the Emmy London 'Natasha' Clutch in Navy Suede, and on her feet were the custom Gianvito Rossi Block Heel Boots in Blue Suede.
Kate again paired the look with Princess Diana's Cabochon Sapphire Drop Earrings, while the Prince of Wales Feathers Brooch made a return appearance—this time worn without its emerald pendant.
For the exhibition, the Princess removed her coat to reveal a new dress by Burberry.

The Amelia dress ($2,295) is made from 100% wool in a tonal navy Prince of Wales check and features a tailored fit-and-flare silhouette with a twist-lock belt, concealed back zip, and side-seam pockets. Kate’s version was custom-made with the addition of long sleeves.
She finished the ensemble with her Susan Caplan 1980s vintage five-strand faux pearl necklace, adding a touch of classic elegance.

At the banquet, Princess Catherine was seated beside the President.
For this evening’s state occasion, the Princess of Wales stepped out in a cornflower-blue caped gown, echoing Germany's national flower. It is a bespoke Jenny Packham creation, shimmering with sequins in a soft ombré finish. The design features a modern asymmetric neckline, a precisely fitted bodice, and padded shoulders. A sheer tulle cape drapes elegantly from the gown, with only a delicate scattering of sequins for a light, ethereal effect.

The evening’s greatest surprise was the Princess’s choice of tiara — Queen Victoria’s Oriental Circlet. This rarely seen piece has scarcely appeared in modern royal history, last worn by Queen Elizabeth II in 2005.
Also known as the Indian Circlet Tiara, this 19th-century jewel was commissioned by Prince Albert for his wife, Queen Victoria. Its selection for the evening carried diplomatic nuance, with Prince Albert’s German heritage offering a subtle nod to the visiting guests.

Crafted by Garrard & Co. in 1853, the tiara originally featured opals and approximately 2,600 diamonds. Its design, inspired by the East India Company jewels at the 1851 Great Exhibition, showcased a distinctive "Indian" aesthetic with Mughal arches and lotus motifs. It was altered in 1858 but never worn again by Queen Victoria after Prince Albert's death.

When it passed to Queen Alexandra in 1901, she replaced the opals with rubies and adjusted the arches for better wearability.

From this angle, you can see how delicately the tiara rests on the head.
Other notable pieces included the late Queen’s diamond chandelier earrings, which Kate has worn on several occasions since 2011. She also wore the sash and badge of the Royal Victorian Order, accompanied by the Maltese Cross, and the Royal Family Order of King Charles III.
The Princess's accessories included the black Anya Hindmarch 'Maud' Satin Clutch and, on her feet, the glittering Gianvito Rossi 'Rania 105' Pumps in Silver.
On Thursday, the Princess of Wales visited the children’s mental health charity Anna Freud, of which she is Patron.

For today’s engagement, the Princess of Wales stepped out in her custom Emilia Wickstead ‘Miles’ houndstooth dress.
She first wore the dress in 2022 during a visit to Harvard University in Boston (shown below). The only change this time was her choice of belt—Kate swapped the original thin, matching style for a slightly wider version in the same fabric.
The Princess arrived carrying a new bag from DeMellier London—the Small Hudson in mocha suede.
On her feet were the grey Hugo Boss 'Staple P90-L' Embossed Leather Pumps.
She finished the look with her sapphire and diamond oval drop earrings.

This marks the sixth time William and Catherine have attended the star-studded show in aid of the Royal Variety Charity, of which the King is Patron.
The Royal Variety Performance is an annual event held in support of the Royal Variety Charity, which provides assistance to those who have worked professionally in the entertainment industry. Through a nationwide grants scheme, the charity offers vital support to performers and industry professionals in need.
The royal couple met a number of performers and representatives from the Royal Variety Charity.

For the dazzling event, the Princess stepped onto the red carpet in an emerald-green stretch velvet gown by the German fashion brand Talbot Runhof.

The style appears to date back several years and was released as the 'Bobonne' Off-the-Shoulder Gown. It features a sleek, figure-hugging silhouette with ruched detailing that accentuates the body. The mermaid design gently flares from the knee into a short, graceful train.
On her feet were the Manolo Blahnik 'BB' Pumps in Dark Green Velvet.
The Princess brought out some serious sparkle this evening, wearing the Greville Chandelier Diamond Earrings, paired with Queen Mary’s Diamond Choker Bracelet.

Princess Kate Steps Out in a Sleek Roland Mouret Pantsuit for the Future Workforce Summit18/11/2025
On Tuesday, the Princess of Wales attended the Future Workforce Summit, hosted by The Royal Foundation Business Taskforce for Early Childhood at Salesforce Tower in London.

The summit brought together business leaders to think seriously about how early childhood underpins not only individual well-being, but also the future workforce. In her remarks, the Princess emphasized that early nurturing, “time, attention and tenderness,” and loving relationships are foundational for building resilient, capable people — and that business has a role to play in cultivating that.
The Princess channelled executive chic with a brand-new pale grey suit from Roland Mouret.
The ensemble features a single-breasted blazer and coordinating wide-leg trousers in a grey sharkskin fabric that may have been a custom commission. The style remains in the designer’s collection, though currently offered only in black stretch cady.
Beneath the sharp tailoring, the Princess layered her ivory Knatchbull Cascade Ruffle Silk Blouse, its soft cascades adding a romantic counterpoint to the structured suit.
She was spotted arriving with her black Smythson Panama East West Zip Tote in hand, the structured silhouette complementing her tailored suit.
On her feet, we saw the return of the Russell & Bromley ‘100Point’ Blade Heel Pumps.
For a touch of timeless sparkle, she turned to her Mappin & Webb ‘Empress’ Diamond Carriage Earrings — a beloved pair she has worn regularly since 2015.
On Tuesday, The Princess of Wales visited the National Memorial Arboretum as it led the nation in commemorating Armistice Day with a Service of Remembrance on the Armed Forces Memorial.

She debuted a new wide-brim chapeau by Jane Taylor — the milliner’s Decima hat, crafted in black felt and finished with a bow.
Kate grounded the ensemble with her custom black Gianvito Rossi block-heel suede boots.
Adding to the refined aesthetic were her Cornelia James Alice merino wool gloves.
For her jewellery, Kate re-wore the unidentified ruby and diamond earrings and paired them with the Irish Guards Regimental Brooch.
On Sunday morning, the Princess of Wales attended the annual National Service of Remembrance at the Cenotaph in Whitehall, London.

She watched the service from the Foreign Office central balcony alongside Queen Camilla.
King Charles III led the nation in Remembrance, joined at the Cenotaph by his brother, Prince Edward and his son, Prince William.
For today's solemn ceremony, The Princess chose to wear her black Catherine Walker 'Evie' Coatdress, a piece she first wore for Remembrance Sunday in 2022.
She elevated the coat by adding a black jabot.
Kate’s hat is a new design by Lock & Co. Hatters — the £1,079 'Belvedere' Percher.
The piece showcases sculptural elegance, defined by its exquisitely shaped form and a bold, 3D ridged ribbon trim that sweeps gracefully from front to back.
She likely carried her black Chanel Mini Flap Bag — only a hint of it can be seen in several of today’s images.
The Princess accessorised with the Collingwood Diamond & Pearl Drop Earrings and pinned her Lock & Co. Hatters x Izzy Ager Handmade Silk Poppy alongside the Fleet Air Arm Brooch.
On Saturday evening, the Princess of Wales attended the Festival of Remembrance, joined for the first time by her eldest son, Prince George, who stood in for his father as Prince William traveled back from the COP30 UN Climate Change Summit in Belém, Brazil.

For the solemn occasion, Kate debuted the black Alessandra Rich ‘Envers’ Dress. Priced at $2,470 and part of the designer’s Spring ’25 collection, the dress evokes vintage elegance with its crepe de chine construction and lace-trimmed mikado collar. A bow detail and peplum ruffles add a touch of sweetness, while the double-breasted buttons lend a tailored, polished finish.
She accessorized with her Mulberry ‘Bayswater’ clutch. Her shoes may have been the Gianvito Rossi 105 pumps in black suede, though available photos aren’t clear enough to confirm this with certainty.
The Princess also wore the late Queen Elizabeth II’s Bahrain Pearl Drop Earrings and her unidentified diamond pendant cross necklace.
Kate completed the look with her HMS Glasgow Brooch and a new poppy created by Izzy Ager of Lock & Co. Hatters. Ms Ager, a hand-embroidery artist, crafted the poppy by hand using silk and glass beads.
On Wednesday, the Prince and Princess of Wales welcomed the Crown Prince of Jordan, Al Hussein bin Abdullah II, and his wife, Princess Rajwa Al Hussein, to Windsor Castle.

Kensington Palace shared a video of the meeting.
For the Windsor audience, Princess Catherine opted to rewear her beige Roland Mouret pantsuit, first seen in September 2023 during a visit to Streets of Growth. The tailored separates comprise a single-breasted stretch-cady blazer and coordinating wide-leg trousers.
Under the blazer, Kate wore an off-white pussy-bow blouse — possibly by Burberry, similar to the pink version she owns, though more photos would be needed for a confident identification.
She appears to have worn her tan Ralph Lauren 'Celia' Calfskin Pumps.
The Princess completed the look with her Cassandra Goad ‘Temple of Heaven’ Girandole Pendant Earrings, a long-time favourite in her jewellery collection.

Their first stop was the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service’s new Learning and Development College in Cookstown, where they learned about the training programs that prepare young people to become the next generation of firefighters.

Afterwards, the Prince and Princess of Wales visited Mallon Farm in County Tyrone to highlight the revival of Northern Ireland’s flax-to-linen heritage. There, they heard from the farm’s owners about their mission to develop a sustainable linen industry.

For their final stop, the Prince and Princess of Wales visited Long Meadow Cider in County Armagh, a family-run farm.
Picture by Andrew Parsons / Kensington Palace
They joined in harvesting apples and toured the production facilities before helping to make traditional potato apple bread using the owners’ family recipe.
For today’s engagements in Northern Ireland, the Princess opted for a mix of familiar favourites and new pieces. At the first stop with the Fire and Rescue Service, she wore her forest green Alexander McQueen midi coat.
The bespoke coat has been part of her wardrobe since January 2020 and has made several appearances over the years.
On her feet, she wore her custom Gianvito Rossi Block Heel Boots in brown suede — a custom, pointed-toe version of the brand's ‘Glen 85’ boot.
For the farm visits, Kate swapped her wool coat for her trusty Barbour Waxed Defence Jacket, a staple in her wardrobe since 2012.
She also swapped her high-heeled boots for a pair of brown suede flat boots, a style we have not seen her wear before. The brand remains unidentified.
The Princess paired her Ralph Lauren Collection ‘Evelyn’ Birdseye Tweed Skirt with a new WNU sweater — the British brand’s Jura Cardigan (US$290) in a warm coffee hue.
Kate cinched her look with Brora’s Woven Leather Belt in chocolate brown.
The Princess topped off her look with the Daniella Draper Mini Cupid Hoops With Baby Shamrock Charms.
And finally, a look at Kate’s softly styled, flowing locks.
On Thursday, the Princess of Wales visited Home-Start Oxford, a local charity in Oxford, southern England, that is part of a national network of 175 Home-Start charities providing free, trusted, relational support to families across the UK.
The Princess took part in a volunteer training session from The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood’s Explainer Series, focusing on ways to strengthen nurturing connections between parents and young children. The program will soon reach Home-Start UK’s 9,000 volunteers nationwide.

Catherine then participated in a vibrant ‘Stay and Play’ session, where families build relationships and benefit from the guidance of skilled volunteers and staff. Afterwards, Her Royal Highness met with parents supported by Home-Start Oxford, gaining insight into their experiences and the charity’s impact.

The Princess made a striking appearance in a sophisticated willow-green Victoria Beckham pantsuit, previously worn in May 2025 for the Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design.
The two-piece ensemble features the Patch Pocket Jacket paired with the 'Alina' Trousers.
Today Kate styled it with a perfectly colour-coordinated crewneck knit top, which some have suggested may be the ME+EM Merino Cashmere Barely There Trim Jumper with the white trim removed.
Picture by Andrew Parsons / Kensington Palace
The superfine knit fabric and colour appear to be an exact match, though I can’t say with complete confidence that it is the same sweater and she had the trim removed.
On her feet we saw the return of the Ralph Lauren 'Celia' Calfskin Pump in RL Gold.
To complete the look, the Princess wore her Kiki Classics Green Amethyst Pear Drop Earrings and Daniella Draper Personalised ‘Midnight Moon’ Necklace.
On Thursday, the Princess of Wales visited RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire in her capacity as Royal Honorary Air Commodore.

During her first visit to the station, the Princess received an overview of RAF Coningsby’s recent operations, including deployments to Poland in support of NATO. She met Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) personnel, viewed a QRA Typhoon aircraft, and visited the ‘Lounge’ to speak with members of the Welfare Team and junior ranks about their roles and experiences on site.
For her first visit to RAF Coningsby, Kate re-wore the Prince of Wales check Bella Freud pantsuit she debuted just a few weeks ago during her textile tours in Suffolk and Kent (shown below).
The British designer’s two-piece wool-blend ensemble featured the ‘Earl’ jacket paired with coordinating ‘School Boy’ trousers.
The grey top worn beneath her jacket is the Alexander McQueen Fine Ribbed Knit Top, first seen in January 2021.
A navy croc-embossed leather belt complemented her Gianvito Rossi ‘Gianvito’ 85 suede pumps in Midnight Blue.
We saw the return of the beloved Cartier Ballon Bleu Watch.
Finishing off the look were her Sapphire & Diamond Oval Drop Earrings and Fleet Air Arm Brooch.
On Tuesday, the Prince and Princess of Wales made a poignant return to Southport to offer support to families affected by the tragic knife attack of July 2024, which claimed the lives of three young girls: Bebe King, Elsie Dot Stancombe, and Alice da Silva Aguiar.

The couple visited Farnborough Road School and Churchtown Primary, engaging with local children, parents, and community members still grappling with the aftermath.
Picture by Andrew Parsons / Kensington Palace
Their visit, filled with genuine compassion, highlighted their commitment to supporting the Southport community’s healing journey.
The Princess stepped out in a sombre grey ensemble, softened by her pink Burberry silk blouse.
The Princess carried the Smythson Mini Lytton Crossbody Bag in Dark Taupe.
