​The WI is the largest women’s organisation in the UK and was long supported by Queen Elizabeth II, who became a member in 1943 and served as President of the Sandringham branch from 2003 until her passing in 2022.

For this outing, Kate debuted a plaid printed midi dress by Alessandra Rich from the Pre-Fall 2021 Daisy Desire collection, featuring an oversized flat collar, short puff sleeves, and decorative buttons.

Below is a closer look at the black, white and pink plaid printed crepe de chine fabric, along with the pearl-and-diamanté buttons.

The dress was paired with her grey pointed-toe pumps by Hugo Boss.

Kate’s Kiki ‘Grace’ earrings provided the perfect finishing touch, their delicate design subtly echoing the pearl-and-diamanté buttons on her dress.
