See Kate Middleton at Commonwealth Day Services Through the Years
Every year, the British royal family gathers at Westminster Abbey for Commonwealth Day, and Kate Middleton has joined numerous times since marrying Prince William.
Her first appearance at Commonwealth Day came in 2015, when she was pregnant with Princess Charlotte, and she's only missed a few years since. Notably, she didn't attend last year in 2024 amid rising global concern over her health, a day after an image of her for UK Mother's Day was released by the Palace—though the photo was since recalled by numerous photo agencies over concern it was digitally altered. Later, it was revealed Kate had been diagnosed with cancer.
In celebration of Commonwealth Day this year, T&C decided to look back at her best fashion moments at the service over the years.
2025
For this year's Commonwealth Day service, Kate opted for a red dress by Catherine Walker and a hat by Gina Foster.
2023
For her first Commonwealth Day service as the Princess of Wales, Kate wore a matching navy set by Erdem, accessorizing with the Prince of Wales Feathers Brooch and Princess Diana's double-drop sapphire and diamond earrings.
2022
For the 2022 Commonwealth Day services, the first since the pandemic, the then-Duchess of Cambridge glowed in a sapphire blue Catherine Walker coat dress.
2020
In 2020, the Duchess opted for a red Catherine Walker coat for the service. This year's service was notable as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's final public engagement before they stepped back as senior working royals.
2019
Kate turned to Catherine Walker for this bright red coat dress for the 2019 Commonwealth Day service, a repeat from her 2014 trip to New Zealand.
2018
For this year's Commonwealth Day service, Kate was pregnant with Prince Louis, and opted for a Beulah London coat. It marked her return to the service after she and Prince William missed it the previous year.
2016
The Duchess of Cambridge wore a gray lace Erdem coat for the 2016 service.
2015
For her first-ever appearance at the Commonwealth Day service, Kate was pregnant with Princess Charlotte. She chose a blush pink Alexander McQueen coat—one that she had previously worn while pregnant with Prince George at Trooping the Colour in 2013. She accessorized with Kiki McDonough cushion drop earrings and a Jane Taylor Millinery hat, and carried a Prada clutch.
