On Tuesday morning the Royal Family came together to celebrate the life of Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh, at a Service of Thanksgiving at Westminster Abbey.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who have just returned from a royal tour of the Caribbean, were joined by their eldest children: Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
Kate drew a strong resemblance to the late Princess Diana wearing a black polka dot dress by one of her go-to designers Alessandra Rich, which was paired with a wide-prim black hat.
The dress, which has already sold out, retailed for £1,495. However, a navy version is still available and currently has 30% off.
The 40-year-old royal has worn numerous ensembles by the British designer in previous year - most notably, a similar polka dot design back in May 2019 during a visit to Bletchley Park.
Kate had previously worn the patterned number for official portraits to celebrate Prince Charles’s 70th birthday in 2018.
While the original Rich dress is no longer available, there is a similar new season frock which retails for £1,335.
While Rich's creations are definitely luxury - the designer dresses usually retail for around £1,500 - we've found some similar polka dot dresses at a far lower price point so you can channel the duchess without breaking the bank.
Case in point: L.K. Bennett is selling a £350 Navy & Cream Polka Dot Silk Tea Dress that holds many similarities to Kate's stylish number with its navy blue and white polka-dot print and contrast cream collar.
Meanwhile, Marks & Spencer and John Lewis have a huge selection of great black polka dot designs to see you through special summer occasions, with prices starting at just £35.
