Catherine, Princess of Wales, has returned to Royal Ascot after being absent from the event since 2023!
The 44-year-old royal joined her husband Prince William to ride in a carriage during a royal procession for day two of the event on Wednesday (June 17) at the racecourse in Ascot, England.
Kate has not been at the Royal Ascot since 2023 as she was diagnosed with a form of cancer in early 2024 and took a break from the public eye.
Kate Middleton wore a Roksanda dress that she has worn on two separate occasions in the past. She wore the same dress for an appearance in Jamaica in March 2022 and again at Wimbledon in July 2022. See those photos below!
For the Royal Ascot appearance this year, Kate also wore Gianvito Rossi shoes, an Anya Hindmarch clutch, and a Nigel Milne bracelet that previously belonged to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana.
This is Kate‘s sixth time attending Royal Ascot, which is a five-day horse racing festival held in Britain, known for its pageantry and attendance by the royal family.
