Kate Middleton to honour Prince William with Trooping the Colour 2025 outfit

Kate Middleton, who is known to make statements via her sartorial choices, is set to make a major decision as a significant event on the royal calendar inches closer.

The Princess of Wales, since her promotion from Duchess of Cambridge in 2022, made major style changes to mark a new era for herself as the Queen-in-waiting. Kate began opting for more power suits and brighter, bolder colours to stand out during royal duties.

Now, Kate marked yet another era with key changes after she underwent treatment for cancer. During her treatment, Kate had retreated from public appearances but made an exception for Trooping the Colour to support King Charles. She wore an upcycled white and black Jenny Packham dress.

This year, as new changes are taking place in Kensington Palace, Kate’s is yet again set to make an important decision about the message she wants to send on the occasion of the monarch’s official birthday on Saturday, June 14.

According to royal editor of Woman&Home, Emma Shacklock, Kate will stray away from her favourite colour – red – in favour of something more subdued like white.

“As with any royal event, the fashion is sure to attract a lot of attention and I have my suspicions about what Kate could wear,” the expert said. “I wouldn’t be at all surprised if she arrived at Horse Guards Parade in head-to-toe whit and avoided one of her favourite hues.”

She noted that Kate is known for wanting the importance of her engagements and events to speak for themselves. Shacklock suggested that white “features on the British flag and since Prince William always wears his red Welsh Guards uniform to Trooping the colour and the kids tend to wear blue, Kate wearing white would complete the tones”.
