On Tuesday, the Princess of Wales attended the Cancer Research UK 125th anniversary reception, hosted by King Charles as patron, with Queen Camilla. The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester were also in attendance.
The event at St. James’s Palace highlighted the charity’s work in cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
The cause holds particular personal significance for the royal family following the King’s cancer diagnosis in February 2024 and the Princess’s own battle with the disease, which ended with her announcing she was in remission in January 2025.
For the occasion, the Princess debuted a red printed dress by Rodarte, marking her first appearance in a design from the Los Angeles-based label.
Made in the USA, this midi dress showcases Rodarte's penchant for romantic, delicate aesthetics. The style is made from soft silk twill with a dainty heart print, a belted waist, and a contrasting collar. The floral appliqué adds a whimsical touch.
The silhouette is offered in a number of colourways.
The red heart print also appears on a mini dress design from the collection.
Keeping her accessories tonal, Kate opted for her red suede Miu Miu bow-embellished shoulder bag, while on her feet were the red suede Gianvito Rossi 105 pumps.
The Princess completed the look with her ruby and diamond pendant necklace and coordinating drop earrings, first seen at VE Day’s 80th Anniversary Celebrations in 2025.

The ruby pendant appears to be slightly different from the one worn during the Poland trip, particularly in the design of the bail. That said, it’s difficult to determine whether the setting was altered or if it is in fact the same stone pendant. It’s really hard to say with certainty.

The Ruby and Diamond set is reportedly from G. Collins & Sons

I've seen this mentioned many times, but I don't think the jeweller ever confirmed this, and I've been unable to find where this ID originated from.

I don't like this dress, specifically the line above where the pleating starts, I dislike. The floral appliqué is also a no. Regardless she looks lovely. I like her shoe and bag color. I would have loved to see a single strand pearl necklace and pearl earrings from the royal vault.

I don't like this dress either. It does not suit the situation. It looks like picnic dress.
