Today marked Kate Middleton's tenth appearance at the royal family's annual Garter Day ceremony—and she wore her wedding earrings!
The Prince and Princess of Wales were all smiles as they rode in a horse-drawn carriage through Windsor, evoking memories of the procession following their wedding ceremony in 2011.
Kate looked picture perfect in a pale gold coatdress, with the diamond and pearl earrings that she wore fifteen years ago as a royal bride sparkling below her hat's brim.

They were commissioned especially for Kate by her parents Carole and Michael Middleton and served as her 'something new' in her iconic bridal look.

The symbols of oak leaf and acorn were drawn from the coat of arms that Queen Elizabeth granted to Michael Middleton a few months before his daughter's marriage to Prince William.
The oak leaf was chosen to represent the area in Berkshire where the Middletons have their home of Bucklebury Manor, a Grade II-listed Georgian property, which is home to many ancient oak trees.
The three acorns in the coat of arms symbolize Carole and Michael's three children, Kate, Pippa, and James.
The incorporation of these symbols into Kate's wedding look was a sweet reminder of her family and the leafy part of the UK where she grew up, never imagining that she would one day be a princess and future queen.
The design of the oak leaves was modelled on the scrolls of the Cartier Halo Tiara that held Kate's wedding veil in place.
We love that Kate still wears her wedding earrings on occasion, and we love the outfit by Patrick McDowell that she paired them with today. Hat season is well and truly in session—this is the third time in the last fortnight that we've seen the Princess of Wales beaming from below a broad-brimmed hat.
The last time was only two days ago, when she wore a saucer-style hat and a baby blue coat dress to King Charles III's birthday parade.

Kate also stepped out in a big hat, plus buttercream tweed dress, for the recent wedding of Queen Elizabeth II's grandson Peter Phillips.
Today the royals were out in force for the 2026 Order of the Garter service, which was held in Windsor Castle.
The Order of the Garter is the oldest and most senior order of chivalry in the UK, and is modelled after the Knights of the Round Table. 24 membership places are reserved for the monarch, the Prince of Wales, and 24 companions who can be knights or ladies.
Members of the royal family who are members include King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Princess Anne.
This was Kate Middleton's tenth time attending Garter Day, but did you know?
When Kate made her first ever appearance at the Order of the Garter's annual celebrations she was still Prince William's girlfriend.
Kate and William were still two years away from getting engaged when they stepped out with the rest of the royals on Garter Day in 2008, the year that William was appointed to the Order of the Garter by his grandmother the queen.
