Kate Middleton Celebrates Easter: See All Her Easter Services Looks

Every spring, the British royal family gathers at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle to observe the holiday of Easter, an event eagerly anticipated by fans of the monarchy. While Kate Middleton does not attend the celebration every year, her advent is always sure to stir excitement—as much for her charming demeanor as for what she chooses to wear.

Over the years, for various and sundry reasons, Prince William and Kate Middleton have sometimes missed the family celebration, and Buckingham Palace has yet to confirm if the couple, as well as children Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, will attend this year’s services.

But as others are expected to skip, many are expecting William and Kate to return as an expression of familial solidarity. Those absent will include Beatrice and Eugenie of York, who politely declined the Easter invitation of their uncle, King Charles III, in the wake of the arrest of their father, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. (Formerly known as Prince Andrew, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has denied all allegations of wrongdoing.) Andrew’s ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, returned to the royal family’s Easter celebrations beginning in 2024, but will also celebrate elsewhere this year.

Looking back at Princess Cate’s Easter appearances, one sees her fondness for blue, which she has donned in a variety of shades. It’s a color that lends itself to spring, as well as to the festive day. Her outfit is frequently topped with a classic coat, complemented by a playful hat. While we wait to see if the Princess of Wales will join the royal family for Easter 2026, let’s review the looks she’s chosen in the past.

Easter 2014 in baby blue

In April 2014, three years after she married Prince William, Kate Middleton spent Easter with her husband on a royal tour through Australia. While at an Easter celebration at Sydney’s St. Andrew’s Cathedral, the princess chose an elegant knee-length coat by Alexander McQueen, with clean and essential lines. Unmissable was her Jane Taylor hat, as well as her ice-colored pumps. It was a look that Kate enjoyed so much, she recycled it a few years later.

Easter 2017 in ivory

In 2017, we got our first look at the couple at St. George’s Chapel, where they celebrated the holiday with the rest of the royal family. That year, Kate opted for an ivory look, including a coat by Catherine Walker, one of her favorite labels in those years. Topping it all off was a square-shaped pillbox hat in perfect Jacqueline Kennedy style, and nude pumps by the Rupert Sanderson label.

Easter 2018 in brown

In 2018, Kate Middleton was expecting her third-born child, little Prince Louis. But she still attended Easter services, clad in a refined, chocolate brown, Catherine Walker coat—one she also wore when pregnant with daughter Princess Charlotte. With a flared line to embrace her pregnancy shape, Kate embellished the garment with a pearl brooch and matching earrings. To complete the look, she wore a pillbox hat and nude pumps by Gianvito Rossi.

Easter 2019 (again) in baby blue

For Easter 2019 Kate Middleton dusted off her 2014 look, but refreshed the accesssories. This time, the Princess opted for a pearl-colored clutch bag from the Emmy London brand, as well as matching pumps.

Easter 2022 in sky blue

After a pandemic-era absence, Kate Middleton made her return to Easter services in 2022. On that occasion she again opted for a shade that was nothing short of heavenly, a coat dress by Emilia Wickstead recycled from a 2017 event. She paired the cheerful and vibrant sky blue look with a pair of suede pumps in a dustier shade of blue, the same color as her hat.
