There are, surely, many perks of being the mother of the future queen consort of England, Kate Middleton. But my favorite has to be this: raiding your daughter’s closet.
This appears to be what happened on June 14, day one of Royal Ascot, the annual horse racing event; this year’s was attended by several members of the royal family, including Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall. Kate Middleton’s mom, Carole, was also photographed at the event wearing a familiar pleated pink shirtdress by ME+EM.
The two-toned dress, which Carole styled with a black fascinator and matching black clutch, looks like the very same dress that Kate wore in 2021 while visiting with a young girl, Mila, who has leukemia.
