On July 10, 2026, the Prince and Princess of Wales attended the DMMI Royal Charity Polo Cup 2026 at Guards Polo Club in Windsor. The Prince rode alongside top professional players during the match. Funds raised by the event will be distributed among ten charities and causes supported by the Prince and Princess of Wales. For the occasion, the Princess wore a black-and-white gingham dress by Temperley London.
The event is set to raise funds for charities supported by the Prince and Princess of Wales, including Wales Air Ambulance, The Royal College of Paramedics, Shout, Ty Hafan, The Forward Trust, Evelina London Children's Hospital, the Maternal Mental Health Alliance, We Are Farming Minds, The Passage, and the Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity.
Love love love this gingham dress! The bold print on a classic and feminine silhouette is a perfect match and length. The tan shoes are a more interesting choice than black, plus they disappear to make the dress shine even more. Also love the sunglasses and casual photos of husband and wife. The POW looks smashing!
ReplyDeleteAgree!
DeleteThe dress is a bit tableclothy but I like it. Perfect for a hot summer day.
ReplyDeletePOW looks effortlessly beautiful! Navy gingham is such a classic! MR
ReplyDeleteTrès,très jolie Kate qui porte une très jolie robe, la plus jolie vue sur ce site cet été. Josée.
ReplyDeleteI don't love the dress nor the look in general,I'm hoping to read more eloquent comments since I'm doing a very poor job here, apologies.
ReplyDeleteBUT I love their interactions, they are so tender and kind, full of love and companionship. It fills my heart with appreciation for these two but also for my husband.

I agree with your comments and possibly what you did not state but thought. These muscular arms are private, strictly speaking, and need some
Deletecovering to improve the overall look on a thin body. This casual dress is fine for the beach but does the princess no favour in public.

“These muscular arms” and “a thin body”… you’re talking about Catherine in a strange impersonal way. She looks fantastic and in hot weather she’s found a dress which works. “Strictly speaking” it sounds like you’re writing from an air conditioned room. Absolutely nothing wrong with a woman showing her arms.
Delete@ Virginia 8:03
DeleteI am not annoyed in the least by a gorgeous lady showing her well toned arms (better than seeing sagging arms anyway) on a seemingly hot day.
Princess or not, she is a human , after all, forced to cope with the heat like many people do in other countries.
Gingham on adult women isn’t my favorite (and can look perilously like a picnic blanket made into clothing), and the brown accessories - earrings, shoes - seem an odd choice. Regardless, Catherine looks summery and relaxed. William looks handsome in his sporty polo gear. They look happy and in sync with each other.

A smart summery dress.
ReplyDeleteGingham never goes out of fashion.
I think Kate would have looked even smarter with her in a ponytail
as she did at Wimbledon last week.
Cate.
Correction
Deleteher hair in a ponytail

This Temperley London dress imo is perfect for the Princess. It gives her some shape, suits her perfectly. The skirt has nice flair and swish. She looked lovely. Not a fan of the color of her shoes. The earrings, I dislike. Wonderful the money raised, well done to the participants.
ReplyDeleteKate looks great in this Temperley gingham sun dress. The black and white colours suit her well. She and William look great together.

That's how to dress for a heatwave love the large gingham checks. The best thing....they're a loving couple when they think no ones watching
ReplyDeleteOf course they know exactly well that people and cameras are watching. They are a highly experienced couple in public. It is nice to see nevertheless, but of course they know it.
DeleteOh this is a stunning dress on Catherine. A very much less is certainly a whole lot more look. She’s obviously incorporated muscle training into her life and looks absolutely fabulous in a sleeveless dress of perfect proportions. One of my favourite Catherine looks to date!
ReplyDeleteMi viene da scrivere solo che è una bella coppia e che li adoro ❤️ Aggiungo anche che mi piace molto l’abito di Catherine, è il modello che più le dona e questo sembra leggero e fresco. Il suo sorriso e l’abbronzatura completano il tutto.
ReplyDeleteJ'ai toujours adoré le Vichy et là , je reconnais qu'il convient à merveille à Kate pour cette canicule dans ces couleurs noire et blanche ; à mon avis, pour finaliser son look, des chaussures blanches auraient été parfaites !

Love the dress style fantastic, Kate looks happy. William looks good,cute bum.
ReplyDeleteCould have done without thinking of William's bum.
DeleteUsually I don't like gingham, but combined with such a very feminine, skin-baring, flowing dress it is very nice, probably nicer than it would be with floral pattern. Another point why this gingham is not "disturbing" for me is the colour. you don't see a tablecloth with this colour, it is an excellent "background" for the very feminine design. 10/10!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more, @ Anonymous 04:32!
ReplyDeleteA splendid couple performing a most laudable joint engagement.
What is it with these royal ladies these days ? As well the PoW as the GD of Lux. are using table cloth pattern for their summer dresses.
ReplyDeleteI do like the style of the PoW dress, but I would have liked it in another plain colour like fuchsia pink, emerald green, butter yellow, light or lavender blue,....
What is it? It’s fashion. Gingham is in.
Delete@ 16:04
DeleteI only see pictures of the U.K. where ladies are wearing this. Since I am living on the continent I never see it here nor in my neighbouring countries.
The Wales family have had to deal with the PoW illness. Their lives and priorities have changed. If Charles a sick man himself,wishes to have contact with his grandkids then so be it. But,it’s unfair to expect W&C or any other member of the family who choose not to have contact with them. It is what it is.
DeleteLowri.
Are they going to meet Harry and Megan, and their kids? That would be nice!
ReplyDeleteIf Harry and Meghan apologize them for the public attacks, disparagement, privacy exposure, and selling privacy to the entire world for millions, then maybe they could meet.
DeleteWell according to the royal journalists the palaces give away information about Harry and Meghan and always have so maybe they should apologize first. I don't see Harry and Meghan apologizing at all. He didn't sell privacy he wrote a memoir that corrected palace lies and royal journalists lies which upset them. They all work with journalists with their books. An unhinged one is coming out with a book that's probably filled with lies if his usual work is anything to go by.I doubt his brother attacks it.
DeleteIt's better for Harry and Meghan to stay away from the Wales right now for their children's sake
Delete@ 9:14
DeleteDopo tutto quello che hanno detto e scritto è già molto che Carlo li abbia incontrati...probabilmente perché ha da farsi perdonare molto.
No the should keep the children away from William and Catherine.They'll put it in the tabloids every moment. Charles and Camilla already have. Everyone attacks Harry for setting the record straight on stories that "journalists" claim came from the palace, but no one criticizes Charles and Camilla or William and Catherine if they didn't want them to put the stories out they wouldn't.
DeleteTo anon 19:05
DeleteNo, Harry is not putting things in perspective. He dragged his family through the mud, kicked Catherine over trivialities like lip gloss and bridesmaids' dresses. I hope Catherine´s children are protected from their uncle. Harry is not a person they could trust.
Here we go again. Camp A against camp B. I feel pity for King Charles that he cannot get to know his grandchildren, at least I think he is not the one to blame. A man who had (or still has, under control) cancer and is looking good again and who would not want to see his grandchildren. I cannot believe this.

"Recollections may vary", said a very wise lady.
DeletePerfect dress for polo on a very hot day in Windsor,she looks fantastic just effortless

ReplyDeleteI love gingham but I don't love this dress. It looks a bit off. Temperley London? Why did I think it was out of business? Her hair looked pretty good until the wind got to it. Not sure about the shoes and earrings. Have to check the Temperley website.
ReplyDeleteSublime!
ReplyDeleteInteressant, wie hier das Kleid trotz keinem übereinstimmenden Verlauf des Musters in den höchsten tönen gelobt wird, beim Kleid von harriet Philips wurde aber genau das bemängelt. Warum ist es bei der PoW nicht problematisch, bei HP hingegen schon?
ReplyDeleteHarriet Phillips' dress had a drop waist and then the check pattern was totally messed up between the upper and the lower part of the dress. In the case of the Princess of Wales we are dealing with a natural waist and a ribbon serving as some sort of belt which is tied in the back. The discontinuing of the gingham pattern is not too obvious here (although there clearly is one gong on) also because of darts that are in place. The tailoring is done much more cleverly than with Mrs. Phillip's dress. Hence why I disliked hers more and liked the gingham number of the PoW better.
DeleteI love this look on POW. She looks gorgeous. Hope she cuts her hair short.
ReplyDeleteI hope she does not.
DeleteI hope not, it’s her choice and she has great hair.
DeleteI so want that dress! Picknick blanket or not. I don't care. However, I would have paired it with black Espadrilles (and different earrings then, of course) instead.
ReplyDeleteGreat dress on her, gives her a feminine shape. I like the earrings but not sure why she chose brown and these shoes instead of sandals., but it works. I would say that the armhole could be a tad smaller, it exposes the unflattering skin.
ReplyDeleteThis is what I mean, she is not my next door neighbour, she is the Princess of Wales, and the unflattering armhole, to quote, is not to her advantage.
Delete🌞 Virginia
Nice dress definitely something different.

The Princess of Wales looks perfect from head to toe in this darling happy summery dress!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, feminine, classic gingham check summer dress from Catherine! She looks wonderful here. I love the pictures of William and Catherine together--in love and so happy together. Her choice of casual resin earrings are also a great summery choice.
ReplyDeleteJanet
Well cut dress. I don’t mind a sleeveless dress for a casual outdoor sporting event. Yes, she has muscular arms, same as Letizia, but Kate wears outfits that reveal them a lot less (she also lives in a different climate, I know, this isn’t a comment aimed at the Spanish queen). Gingham is a classic summer print, the size on this dress is slightly unusual (almost feels too big, I think a slightly smaller one would have been even better). Also, I would have preferred it in navy and white, versus black and white- but that’s just me. Pleased to see she is wearing lower heels
ReplyDeleteAs she isn't on 'official royal duty' she can wear what she wants and break every royal dress code rules if she so desires.I love her sundress especially in this heatwave
