Marking 15 years of marriage, the Prince and Princess of Wales chose a "full circle" moment for their Crystal Anniversary, visiting a learning center for IntoUniversity in London.

The choice was a poignant nod to their 2011 wedding, when the charity was a key beneficiary of their Royal Wedding Gift Fund. In lieu of gifts, the couple raised over £1 million for 26 charities. Fifteen years on, it has grown into a national network with 35+ centres across the UK.

For this engagement, the Princess chose a sophisticated, polished ensemble, pairing rich brown tones with soft pastel blue.

Her new jacket is the Erdem Wool Crepe Crystal-Embellished Blazer, worn without the crystal brooches. Crafted from 100% wool crepe, it features a slim silhouette with sharp peak lapels, a single-breasted button fastening, two side flap pockets, and a chest welt pocket.
Beneath the blazer she wore her chestnut brown ME+EM Cashmere Straight Sweater Vest paired with her Edeline Lee 'Averill' Trousers.
Kate's jewellery included the Daniella Draper Gold Fixed Alphabet Necklace, personalised with the initials of her three children.
She also debuted a new pair of earrings featuring faceted round blue stones—possibly blue topaz or aquamarine—suspended from gold hoops.

REPLI-KATE THE LOOK FOR LESS
On Saturday, the Princess of Wales marked ANZAC Day in London, commemorating the anniversary of the 1915 Gallipoli landings during World War I.

The day honours the members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who lost their lives in conflict, as well as all those who have served. The Princess first attended a Wreath Laying and Parade Service at the Cenotaph on behalf of King Charles.
She then attended a Service of Commemoration and Thanksgiving at Westminster Abbey.
For the occasion, the Princess of Wales wore a refined ensemble in keeping with the solemnity of the day. She debuted a bespoke navy coat by Sarah Burton for Gievnchy. It's defined by a double-breasted front and contrast lapel.
Laura A. on X suggests that the navy dress worn beneath the coat may be similar in design to the red Alexander McQueen dress worn at Ascot in 2023, noting specific similarities in the sleeve and neckline details.
Kate wore her hair in a half up-do and a navy Jess Collett 'Etta' Wool Felt Percher Hat, customised with a felt bow detail at the back.
She arrived at Westminster Abbey carrying her navy DeMellier Nano Montreal Bag.
On her feet were the Gianvito Rossi 105 suede pumps in navy suede.
To complete the elegant ensemble, Kate accessorised with Princess Diana’s Cabochon Sapphire Drop Earrings and her G. Collins & Sons tanzanite pendant necklace.
The Prince and Princess of Wales joined King Charles and Queen Camilla, alongside senior members of the Royal Family, to host a reception at Buckingham Palace marking the 100th anniversary of the birth of Queen Elizabeth II.
Among the guests were representatives of the late Queen’s former charities and patronages, as well as a group of special centenarians celebrating their 100th birthdays today.
For the celebratory occasion, the Princess of Wales wore a bespoke Emilia Wickstead midi dress in a soft lavender hue.
She also owns another design, aptly named the ‘Kate,’ by the label in a similar colourway.
The closest match in Emiila Wickstead's current collection is the 'Collision' dress.
There are, however, several notable differences: Kate’s dress features structured shoulder pads, a lightly gathered bodice with an empire waist seam, bracelet-length sleeves, and vertical seams running the length of the A-line skirt.
On her feet were the Ralph Lauren 'Celia' Calfskin Pumps.
The Princess paid tribute to the late Queen through her jewellery choices, wearing the Bahrain Pearl Drop Earrings and a three-strand pearl necklace, both from the late Queen’s personal collection.
The Wales family attended the traditional Easter Sunday Mattins Service at St George’s Chapel in Windsor.
The family of five arrived at the chapel alongside King Charles and Queen Camilla, as well as fellow members of the British Royal Family, marking the first time in three years that the Waleses have attended the Easter service since Catherine’s cancer diagnosis.

Kate looked elegant in her Self-Portrait Tailored Crepe Lace Detail Midi Dress, first worn in April 2022 for a joint engagement with Princess Anne.
The cream midi dress is cut from heavy crepe and tailored in a slim-fitting silhouette. The bodice features lace motifs and flap pockets, while a detachable self-fabric belt defines the waist above a flared skirt. Kate’s skirt appears to have been modified, with the original flared hem recut into a slimmer A-line silhouette.
Complementing the dress was a new headpiece by Juliette Botterill - the milliner’s Oak Leaf Teardrop Hat (£680). It is crafted from sculpted felt in a soft oyster tone and elegantly adorned with hand-cut oak leaves.
She offset the cream look with tan accessories, including her DeMellier ‘Nano Montreal’ Bag in Deep Toffee.
On her feet were the Ralph Lauren 'Celia' Calfskin Pump in RL Gold.
The Princess also brought back the Bahrain Pearl Drop Earrings and her unidentified diamond cross pendant.
