Princess Kate returns to Royal Ascot in bright yellow dress

Princess Catherine, the Princess of Wales, made her first appearance at the Royal Ascot horse race since a two‑year break for cancer treatment. The event, founded by Queen Anne in 1711, is a key fixture of the British social calendar.

On 17 June she arrived in a striking yellow Roksanda ensemble, complemented by an Anya Hindmarch reticule and Gianvito Rossi heels. She paired the look with a wide‑brimmed JT Millinery hat, a diamond chandelier earring inherited from the late Queen Elizabeth II, and a pearl bracelet originally owned by Princess Diana. The outfit, previously worn during a Caribbean visit and at Wimbledon in 2022, was promoted as a statement of sustainability.

The Princess was accompanied by Prince William, and her appearance highlighted both the fashion influence of the royal family and the ongoing public interest in her health recovery.
