Kate and William joined other royals at the Order of the Garter at Windsor Castle, one of the most traditional events on the Royal Family calendar.

Kate, who missed the service last year while receiving cancer treatment, was in good spirits as she watched the procession of Ladies and Knights of the Garter through the grounds to St George’s Chapel. The 43-year-old mother of three received a cheer from the waiting crowd.

Kate’s wore a stylish white Self Portrait brand dress that was matched with a white blazer — complete with a belted waist and pocket flaps — over a pleated midi skirt with a white lace trim. She paired it with a Sean Barrett hat. It was the same outfit she wore to recent VE Day celebrations in London.

The King and Queen followed convention and were dressed in white plumed hats and dark blue velvet robes, as were the other members of the order including Prince William.

The Order of the Garter is the oldest and most senior orders of chivalry in Britain dating back 700 years, with knights chosen in recognition of their public service.

The King and Queen and Prince and Princess are expected at Royal Ascot in coming days.
