Princess Kate Middleton gave a style nod to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry during her appearance at the Buckingham Palace Garden Party.

The Princess of Wales donned a Philip Treacy-designed hat during the Tuesday, May 20, event alongside husband Prince William. Kate wore her hair in an updo, while maintaining the attention on the detail of the creme-colored hat that featured a large, floral embellishment.

The fashion piece looked familiar on Kate, as she first wore the hat during Meghan and Harry’s royal wedding in 2018. Life & Style compares photos of Kate’s fashionable moments with the hat at the 2025 Garden Party and Harry and Meghan’s wedding.

Same Hat, Different Style

Unlike her loose, flowy hairstyle at Meghen and Harry’s wedding, Kate wrapped her hair in a low side bun at the Royal Garden Party in May 2025.

Kate paired the accessory with a matching long-sleeved dress that fell down to her knees.
