The Order of the Garter is the most senior and the oldest British Order of Chivalry and was founded by Edward III in 1348. Each year in June, a procession and service take place at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle for the Order of the Garter. Prince William has been a Royal Knights Companion of the Garter since 2008.

The Duchess opted for a new cornflower blue coatdress reportedly by Alexander McQueen. It features a portrait neckline with notch lapels, fitted bodice with a waistband, pleated skirt, and self-covered buttons at the cuff.

She also debuted a blue Juliette Botterill Floral Leaf Teardrop hat (£560) from the milliner's SS22 collection. It features a woven straw base adorned with an array of silk roses, rosebuds, leaves, and silk abaca bow. ID by Katie’s Royal Love (Twitter).

The Duchess looks lovely, but I don't like the neckline of this coatdress. Love the color, the hat is fabulous. This coatdress is similar to others in not only color but style. It would be nice to see a different style for a change. The jewel pieces are beautiful. The shoes, I love and clutch, but too much blue.

The Duchess looked lovely and I love cornflower blue but I'm getting tired of this style. Kate has the best designers at her fingertips and I wish she would use their creativity to have them design different styles rather than repeating the same silhouette with very slight modifications each time.

The combination of blues works well with this outfit. It's good to see some contrast in the tones.

I agree with Ava that the neckline doesn't look effective with the silhouette of the coat. This coat dress is beautifully fitted below the waist but is too open across the chest for my liking. It reminds me of a Catherine Walker coat in light blue that the Duchess wore last year on the Scottish tour where the coat was bottom heavy and the top was too open around the neck.

The hat, jewellery and bag are fabulous.

I think the Duchess looks lovely as always. I think the coat dress works, but it would be nice to see her in some different styles. I would agree with Milly, there seems to be allot of repetition in styles, however they are lovely. I thought the outfit, jewels, clutch and hat were lovely but something felt amiss with the outfit . I wonder if it is the the shoes (though beautiful) they looked too dark to work with the outfit.
