She has done so with elegance and decisiveness during two key events on the British royal calendar: Trooping the Colourand Garter Day. In both appearances, she has excelled not only for her impeccable style, but also for her ability to connect with the people, inevitably recalling the unforgettable Lady Di.
The princess has worn a style that has moved both monarchy followers and fashion experts. She has managed to unite tradition with a modern vision, always with delicate and symbolic nods. It has been a clear tribute to Lady Di, not only through aesthetic choices, but also through the attitude and the implicit message in her presence.
Kate has participated in the Trooping the Colour paradewith an aqua and white coat-dress designed by Catherine Walker, one of Diana's favorite brands. She has completed the ensemble with historic earrings from Queen Elizabeth II, thus reinforcing her commitment to the crown's legacy. Her elegance has been widely discussed, both in national and international media.

Two days later, she attended the Garter Day ceremony at Windsor Castle. For this occasion, she wore a white Self Portrait dress, which she had already worn on three previous occasions. She has shown that she knows how to reinvent pieces and give them new life without losing strength or sophistication.
The white outfit, accompanied by a large floral hat and biscuit-colored shoes, has confirmed her mastery when it comes to dressing for official events. In addition, she has chosen vintage-style earrings that evoke the classic glamour of the eighties. The pearl necklace she wore, also reused, has added a harmonious final touch to the ensemble.
This step has not only been aesthetic, but also deeply symbolic. Kate Middleton has reaffirmed that she has inherited the responsibility that comes with her title, the same one held by Lady Di. She has done so naturally, without imitating, but honoring with respect and affection the one who was known as "the people's princess".
