The garden parties are a cherished royal tradition, with the Monarch hosting several each year during late spring in the grounds of Buckingham Palace and the Palace of Holyroodhouse. The events provide an opportunity for members of the Royal Family to recognise and celebrate individuals from across the community for their outstanding public service and contributions to society.​

Kate is still in her 40s, idk why after covid she has started to dress herself in looks that women wear in their 50s and 60s.

I'm not a fan of this look.

That dress is made of 100% polyester and made in China. I'm surprised she is wearing this. Are you sure it is not from another brand?

The Princess looks nice, but I am not a fan of this outfit. The flower on the jacket, I dislike. The jacket and skirt combination, I don't like, something doesn't combine well, I 'm not sure what that is. The color of her accessories, shoes and clutch is a no. I think black would have elevated the overall look. The triple strand pearl bracelet is beautiful, glad to see her wearing it. The pearl earrings are gorgeous. A single strand pearl necklace would have been the perfect wear here.
