Kate Middleton opted for one of her go-to power suiting styles for an intimate occasion on Wednesday. The Princess of Wales, alongside her husband Prince William, met with inspiring young photographer Liz Hatton at Windsor. Sixteen-year-old Hatton is battling an aggressive form of cancer.

For the special occasion, the prominent British royal family member re-wore a burgundy suit by Roland Mouret. The suit set included a single-breasted stretch cady blazer, which Middleton paired with the coordinated wide-leg stretch cady trousers.

As for her accessories, the Princess of Wales wore a pair of temple of heaven girandole pendant earrings by Cassandra Goad. Middleton also wore a taupe blouse beneath her single-breasted blazer. The British royal previously wore the suit in January 2023 for a reception for the England Wheelchair Rugby League Team.

Middleton’s connection to Hatton runs deep. Both Hatton and the Princess of Wales share a love and appreciation for photography. Middleton publicly revealed the completion of her chemotherapy treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer last month.

“Although I have finished chemotherapy, my path to healing and full recovery is long and I must continue to take each day as it comes,” the Princess of Wales said in a video directed by Will Warr, featuring the royal in a Veronica Beard dress. “I am however looking forward to being back at work and undertaking a few more public engagements in the coming months when I can,” she said.

“Everyone’s kindness, empathy and compassion has been truly humbling,” she added. “To all those who are continuing their own cancer journey — I remain with you, side by side, hand in hand. Out of darkness, can come light, so let that light shine bright.” The Princess of Wales revealed her cancer diagnosis last March.
