The Princess of Wales never fails when it comes to providing us with sartorial inspiration.
But while we simply love her royal style, sometimes we like to hark back to the days before she was the future queen to help us conjure a fashion epiphany.

If your autumn wardrobe is on your mind, then look no further because this particular look from the senior royal is one we cannot wait to recreate.
Cast your minds back to 2007: Kate and her then-ex-boyfriend, Prince William, were "on a break" from their relationship, and reports of a reconciliation were rife. Kate made an appearance alongside her brother, James Middleton, at The Concert For Diana at Wembley Stadium.

Ciara and Russell Wilson have another child on the way.
In a post shared on Instagram, the 40-year-old singer-songwriter and 37-year-old former NFL star confirmed that they're expecting their fourth child together. "One more person to love," Ciara wrote alongside the carousel post on Instagram, which included videos and photos showing her hanging laundry with a baby ***** p.

Princess Diana captivated the world in June 1994 when she arrived at a Vanity Fair gala wearing a bold, off-the-shoulder black silk dress by Christina Stambolian. That very same night, King Charles publicly admitted to being unfaithful to Diana during their marriage.
Diana's daring outfit dominated headlines and overshadowed Charles' confession, and thus, the ensemble was dubbed a "revenge dress."

Prince Harry is wasting no time stepping back into the spotlight since returning to England.
Harry, 41, has unveiled a busy schedule of appearances in Britain and the U.S., according to a People report published Friday, September 11. The news comes just days after King Charles III made clear that Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, remain non-working royals whose charitable activities are carried out privately — a position sources close to the Sussexes have challenged.
"Members of the public know who they are. The idea that they can live a normal, 'private' life is sadly not realistic," an insider said, per the outlet.

Issues arose shortly after Harry and Meghan, 45, returned to Britain with their children Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5. Charles, 77, authorized guidance reaffirming that the couple's decision to step away from royal duties in 2020 remains in effect despite their move back to the U.K.

#harry #people

Prince Harry is preparing to return to the United States just weeks after moving back to the U.K. with Meghan Markle and their children. The Duke of Sussex, 41, is scheduled for another major appearance in New York.
Harry is set to attend Bill and Hillary Clinton's Clinton Global Initiative annual meeting in New York City on Sept. 22 and 23. This will be his second appearance at the event after he joined in 2024. The meeting will take place during United Nations General ******* embly week. It will also feature Chrissy Teigen, Bill Nye and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman.
Meanwhile, the trip comes less than a month after Harry, Meghan and their children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, returned to the U.K. on Aug. 26. The family is now living outside London. However, they continue to maintain their home in Montecito, Calif.
This year's meeting is ******* led "How Do We Get It Right?" It will focus on artificial intelligence, climate resilience, democracy, humanitarian response, economic opportunity and health.
At the same time, Harry's appearance comes as attention remains on the Sussexes' public role following their move to Britain. Recently, sources close to the couple pushed back against guidance from King Charles that described their position as "akin to private citizens."

Paola of Belgiumturns 89 this September 11: the Belgian press isn't publishing big special features on her, and so far the official channels also haven't marked the day with a new photo or a public gesture, as they tend to do when it's a milestone birthday. It's been a while since the woman who was queen consort for two decades stepped into the background; she suffered a stroke in 2018, from which she recovered, and now lives a quiet life between Belgium and the south of France.
Her public appearances are now rare; here she is with her husband, Albert II, and the current monarchs, her son, Philippe of the Belgians, and his wife, Queen Mathilde. The picture was taken in 2023 during National Day. (@ Patrick van Katwijk)

Now that the late Princess Diana's iconic "revenge dress" is heading to auction at Sotheby's, one particular person has their eye on taking it home.
A Friday, September 11, report in journalist Rob Shuter's Naughty But Nice Substack claims the late royal's son Prince Harry is incredibly fond of his mother's iconic ensemble.
"He doesn't want it disappearing into a collector's closet," a source told Shuter, adding that the Duke of Sussex, 41, "believes it should stay connected to Diana" and "belong to" wife Meghan Markle.
Diana — who was just 36 when she died on August 31, 1997, following a car crash in Paris — was known for her incredible fashion sense and became synonymous with the term "revenge dress."
On June 29, 1994, the royal stepped out for a gala held at the Serpentine Gallery in London wearing a black, fitted, chic, off-the-shoulder dress by designer Christina Stambolian that featured an asymmetrical hemline and chiffon train.

Prince Harry reportedly had his sights set on one of Princess Diana's most famous fashion pieces. The Duke allegedly wanted Meghan Markle to own the iconic "Revenge Dress."
The striking Christina Stambolian creation was heading toward a major auction in New York. Its potential sale also carried decades of royal history, making Harry's alleged interest especially intriguing.
According to Rob Shuter's Naughty But Nice Substack, Harry wanted to buy Diana's famous black dress. Sotheby's planned to auction the off-the-shoulder gown in New York on December 9. The auction house estimated its value between $150,000 and $300,000.
According to a source cited by Shuter, Harry viewed the dress as more than royal memorabilia. "Harry sees that dress as a symbol of his mother taking back her power," the insider told Naughty But Nice. The source said Diana wore it while pushing back against Charles, Camilla and the institution.
Diana wore the daring Christina Stambolian dress in 1994. That same day, then-Prince Charles publicly acknowledged his infidelity. The fashion moment quickly became one of Diana's most recognizable public statements.

On September 11, Kate Middleton made her first solo engagement since her summer break, visiting The Royal Marsden Hospital in London, where she received cancer treatment in 2024.
The Princess of Wales said that she was "really, really grateful on a personal level" for her treatment there.
For the occasion, the future queen rewore an apple green Suzannah London dress that she owns in multiple colors.
For a poignant visit to the hospital where she received cancer treatment throughout 2024, Kate Middleton chose another vibrant pop of color—this time, apple green.
On September 11, the Princess of Wales visited The Royal Marsden Hospital, which she supported earlier this summer through her grueling Three Peaks Challenge. The trek saw the future queen climb the highest mountains in Scotland, England, and Wales in under 24 hours, and in doing so, the princess raised money for the London hospital.

As Norway continues to follow the ongoing case involving Marius Borg Høiby, with a verdict expected on June 15, concern over Princess Mette-Marit's health has also intensified. The crown princess, who is reportedly on a waiting list for a lung transplant, was notably absent from a milestone event that holds special meaning for both her and her husband, Crown Prince Haakon.
On June 11, Haakon attended the 25th anniversary celebration of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess's Fund, a charitable initiative established on the day of their wedding and one that has since become a cornerstone of the couple's public work.
This year's event carried particular emotional significance. For the first time, Princess Mette-Marit was unable to attend the annual celebration of the fund that was created as a direct result of her marriage to Haakon. Her fragile health prevented her from taking part in an occasion they have always hosted together, adding a poignant note to an event that represents a major part of their shared legacy.
Her last public appearance was on Norway's National Day, May 17, when she appeared visibly weakened and was seen relying on supplemental oxygen.
Crown Prince Haakon married Mette-Marit Tjessem Høiby on August 25, 2001, at Oslo Cathedral in a ceremony attended by royals from across Europe, including Spain's Queen Sofía and the then-Prince Felipe.

NEW YORK – It was a fairy tale brought to life as a princess and a queen at New York Fashion Week.
Brandy and Whoopi Goldberg, the stars of 1997's live-action "Cinderella," reunited front row at Christian Siriano's fashion show Thursday, Sept. 10, during the first official day of NYFW. Brandy, who played the ***** le princess in the film, and Goldberg, who played Queen Constantina and mother of Prince Christopher (Pablo Montalban), hugged and smiled as they posed together for photos nearly 20 years after the Rogers and Hammerstein film debuted.
The "Boy Is Mine" singer donned a white two-piece ensemble with cutout details from head to toe, while "The View" cohost opted for a metallic gray jacket with black polka dots paired with a white collared shirt and charcoal pants.

A dress worn by Princess Diana dubbed her "revenge dress" is being put up for auction.
The late Princess of Wales wore the strapless black silk evening dress to a party in London hours after her then-estranged husband Prince Charles admitted to committing adultery during their marriage.
Her dramatic arrival at the Serpentine Gallery in 1994 in the outfit became an iconic pop-culture moment.
Auction house Sotheby's expects the dress to sell for up to £220,000 ($300,000) when it goes under the hammer on 9 December - the first time it has been up for auction since 1997, when the princess sold 79 of her dresses just months before her death to raise money for charities.
Morgane Halimi, Sotheby's Global Head of Handbags and Fashion, said in a statement that Princess Diana "understood instinctively" that fashion can be a language in its own right.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's UK return could have a familiar royal figure at its center. An expert claims Princess Diana's legacy may help shape their re-entry into Britain. The timing has also prompted speculation about a possible project marking the 30th anniversary of Diana's death. However, one commentator has questioned the ethics of bringing the late princess into the couple's next chapter.
According to a discussion on "The Royalist" podcast, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry could use Princess Diana's legacy to help reintroduce themselves to the British public. Host Tom Sykes was joined by Samara Gill, who discussed the timing of the couple's return and its possible connection to Diana.
Diana's 30th death anniversary is approaching in 2027. Against that backdrop, there has been speculation that the Sussexes may be working on a possible documentary focusing on the late princess. The project has also apparently been ******* ociated with Netflix. However, no documentary has been officially announced by Harry, Meghan, or the streaming platform.
For Gill, the potential project could serve a wider purpose. She claimed the couple may be looking to reconnect with the British public through Diana's enduring popularity. Gill said they could be "using Diana to relaunch" their return to the UK. She argued that the late princess remains someone "most people — the majority of the public — can get behind." By contrast, she claimed that Harry and Meghan face strong opposition from a large section of the British public.
From a public relations perspective, Gill acknowledged that the strategy could be effective. She described it as a "smart PR move." However, she also questioned the ethics of making Diana part of such a comeback. "Morally, I find it a little interesting, a little sticky and icky," Gill said. She added that the idea of using Diana in this way gave her "a bit of a sick feeling."

NEW YORK – Concrete jungle where dreams are made of, there's nothing Tommy Hilfiger can't do.
The designer brought together an A-list crowd for his spectacle of a New York Fashion Week show at the famed Plaza Hotel in Midtown Manhattan Thursday afternoon.
The front row brought together some of the winners of the summer that brought New Yorkers together: New York Knicks stars and NBA Finals champions Josh Hart, Miles McBride and Karl-Anthony Towns (plus Towns' new wife, Jordyn Woods), as well as "Love Island USA" winner Trinity Tatum, all of whom New Yorkers cheered on while gathered at watch parties in summer 2026.
A gaggle of onlookers and perhaps 100 photographers crowded the entrance, hoping to catch a glimpse of one of the massive stars in attendance Sept. 10, including Kate Moss, former Knicks star Carmelo Anthony, Jisoo, Camila Cabello, Patrick Schwarzenegger and more.
Screams penetrated the air both indoors and outdoors: Former "Real Housewives" star Lisa Rinna exclaimed as she ran into actor Lukas Gage, and fans outside screamed for K-pop princess Jisoo.

The actress, who plays Maeve Harrigan, head of the Harrigan crime family, brought her usual dazzle and charm to the red carpet wearing the Jenny Packham Dulcet sequinned gown.
Jenny Packham, a long-time favourite of the Princess of Wales, has built her reputation on eveningwear that celebrates embellishment, so perhaps it was inevitable that the sequins wouldn't be the end of the story. Rhinestones across the shoulders created an almost armour-like effect. It could have felt excessive, yet on Helen it only added to the sense of occasion.
A silver-metal Tyler Ellis Perry clutch and an updo, which showed off her Anabela Chan earrings, completed her look.

Two princesses are rewriting the rules on what a future queen is supposed to look like — and the story is told entirely with their jewelry boxes. Spain's Princess Leonor and the Netherlands' Princess Amalia are both heirs apparent, both members of the same Gen Z cohort now stepping into royal life, and both destined, eventually, for a crown. But side by side, they could not be telling more different stories with their jewelry.
Princess Leonor completes her college outfit with a roomy black leather bag that balances style and practicality. (@ Europa Press via Getty Images)
Diamonds have always carried outsized meaning in royal circles — treasured by some dynasties, quietly set aside by others, but historically the clearest marker of status that Europe's reigning houses had at their disposal.
That symbolism is fracturing along generational lines. As Gen Z heirs move into the spotlight, the old formula of grand dynastic jewels signaling status is splitting in two: one path toward deliberate restraint, the other toward unapologetic opulence.
Leonor has planted her flag firmly in the first camp, favoring costume pieces, pearls and low-key designers over anything resembling a vault heirloom. Amalia has done the opposite, reaching for the Orange-Nassau family's most formidable pieces when the occasion calls for it.

Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet have reached the milestone that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had been preparing for since announcing their return to Britain: both children are now attending school in the United Kingdom.
Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, have begun the new school year, PEOPLE reported on September 10. It is the first time either child has attended school in Britain, although details about the school and the family's new home are being kept private.
A source close to Harry and Meghan said getting the children settled "has been, and remains, their focus" since the family relocated from California. "There is a lot to do. They have just moved halfway across the world, and it's been really busy getting the kids settled," the source said.
The Sussexes arrived in Britain in late August after six years based primarily in California. Their move and the children's enrollment were announced several weeks before classes began, but the new update confirms that Archie and Lilibet have now made the transition into their first British school year.
The September start represents different firsts for the two children. Archie was born in London in May 2019 and spent part of his infancy in Britain, but he moved to North America with his parents before reaching school age. Lilibet was born in California in June 2021 and has only previously visited her father's home country.
