Kate Middleton's latest appearance has a special connection to the early days of her romance with Prince William.
The 43-year-old Princess of Wales joined her husband at the Order of the Garter Service on June 16, held at St George's Chapel. As the couple headed to the event, they rode side-by-side in a horse-drawn carriage and appeared to be in good spirits. Prince William, a member of the order, could be seen wearing the traditional velvet robes and high ostrich plume in his hat.
The annual event honors the oldest and most senior order of chivalry in Britain, with knights chosen in recognition of their public service. The prestigious organization was founded by King Edward III back in 1348.
Middleton's appearance marked the first time in several years that she attended the event, as she spent last year mostly out of the public eye while receiving treatment for cancer.

The celebration was also a significant occasion for the couple as 17 years ago, Middleton made her royal debut as Prince William's girlfriend at the very same event. Back in 2008, Prince William received his knighthood in the Order of the Garter and Middleton was invited to attend.
During the event, Middleton could be seen standing in the crowd alongside Prince Harry as well as Queen Camilla, then known as then Duchess of Cornwall.
It was a momentous occasion for the royal family, as it signified their acceptance of Prince William's relationship with Middleton. The couple had been dating since 2003 after meeting at the University of St. Andrews and were engaged in 2010.
Since then, Middleton has attended the event on numerous occasions, including just two months after tying the knot with Prince William in 2011. That year marked the first time Middleton was invited to ride in the carriage alongside her husband.
Middleton has only missed the event a few times, including when she was on maternity leave and going through cancer treatment.
