Kate Middleton’s Trooping the Colour Outfits Through the Years: Seeing Pink in Alexander McQueen and More Looks
Since joining the royal family when she married Prince William in April 2011, Kate Middleton attends Trooping the Colour every year along with other distinguished members of the British royal family. Over time, Kate has come into her own when it comes to an approach to the royal wardrobe, allowing the public to witness Kate’s style evolution through the years.
Although she’s been absent from the public eye in 2024, the Princess of Wales announced on Friday that she would attend this year’s Trooping the Colour parade on Saturday amid her ongoing treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer.
