Surprising scenes at Ascot as the Princess of Wales steps back into the limelight with Prince William — and a sunny outfit to match. Read on to discover the full story!

Royal Return

On June 17, 2026, Kate, 44, joined Prince William, 43, for the second day of Royal Ascot, marking her first appearance at the event since 2023. The couple arrived in the Royal Procession in the same carriage as the Duke and Duchess of Richmond and Gordon while Ascot welcomed them on social media. Their visit fell on the day of the Prince of Wales' Stakes.

Style Moment

After a pale yellow coat dress for Garter Day, Kate chose a bolder yellow Roksanda Brigitte dress with a matching hat at Ascot. William wore a top hat and morning suit, with a yellow flower pinned to his jacket. As she stepped into the carriage she told onlookers, "Thank you. Hopefully the sun stays out."
