Kate Middleton never fails to dress the part – and that includes sending her children back to school! The Princess of Wales has given us back to school sartorial inspiration on quite a few occasions over the years, and last year’s arrival at Lambrook School in Berkshire, which marked the first time that Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5, all attended the private prep school together following their move from London to Windsor, is still living rent-free in our minds.
Throwback To Kate Middleton's Polka Dot Dress From 2022
As expected, Kate Middleton, 41, looked remarkable when she and Prince William, also 41, were pictured taking their three children to school for a 'settling in' session on September 7th, 2022, before their official first day back on September 8th. The Princess of Wales looked effortlessly chic and sophisticated in an autumnal brown midi shirt dress with white polka dots, which hailed from London-based brand, Rixo.
The 'Izzy' dress featured gathered cuffed sleeves, a flattering gathered waist panel to show off her tiny waist, and a pleated skirt, which makes it the perfect transitional and versatile piece for the start of the new fall season. She accessorized with brown suede heels and her Annoushka Baroque pearl drop earrings.
Royal experts say that not every day of the school run is as glamorous as this one, as the Princess of Wales is often seen in much more casual ensembles with her hair in a pony (but we bet she still looks incredible!) But the first day that all three of their children started the same school definitely seemed like a good time for the Prince and Princess of Wales to dress up!
Kate Middleton Turned Heads On Princess Charlotte's First Day In 2019
Reminiscing about last year's back to school look also got us thinking about another stand-out, versatile, transitional look that Kate Middleton wowed us with in the past – and this one took place on September 5th, 2019, which just so happened to be Princess Charlotte's first official day of primary school. Aww!
The Prince and Princess of Wales were spotted taking Prince George and Princess Charlotte to school at Thomas's Battersea in London. The Princess of Wales stunned in a long-sleeved red, white, and navy floral Michael Michael Kors dress, which she teamed with a black waist-cinching belt with a gold buckle. Eagle-eyed royal fans instantly noticed that she had worn the dress one year earlier – at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding rehearsal dinner to be precise! She finished her look off by adding some simple, elegant suede navy Prada pumps, while her hair was styled in a bouncy voluminous blowout.
