The Princess of Wales (Kate Middleton) dashes through rain at Windsor Castle.

Kate Middleton used to be noticed braving the rain throughout the Changing of the Guard at Windsor Castle on Thursday.

The Princess of Wales used to be viewed rushing, retaining an umbrella with an aide, in the history of a video of The Changing of the Guard.

The future queen used to be clad in a crimson costume which she wore for a reception at Windsor Castle honoring England's Women's Rugby team.

The Princess of Wales, who is Patron of the Rugby Football Union, acquired the Red Roses following their World Cup win in September 2025.

To greet the women, who received the World Cup ultimate September, she wore a crimson Alexander McQueen go well with with an asymmetrical front.

After the reception, Kensington Palace shared her pix on social media with the caption, "A awesome day internet hosting Women’s Rugby World Cup winners @redrosesrugby nowadays at Windsor! Congratulations to you all - what an achievement!"

On January 15, 2026, the Princess of Wales (Kate Middleton) made headlines for her first solo public engagement of the year at Windsor Castle, where she hosted a reception for England’s women’s rugby team (the Red Roses) to celebrate their Rugby World Cup victory from September 2025.

The rainy British weather turned the day into a relatable and charming moment that fans loved. Kate drove herself to the castle (a short trip from her nearby home at Forest Lodge), stepping out in a striking red Alexander McQueen pantsuit and 4-inch stilettos—breaking with the usual tradition of senior royals being chauffeured.

Videos and photos captured her dodging raindrops across the castle’s quadrangle, skipping lightly to protect her suede Gianvito Rossi pumps—proving even royals deal with typical rainy-day struggles! Fans called the whole thing “iconic” for her down-to-earth approach, like holding her own umbrella and driving in heels.

She looked elegant as ever in the red suit (a nod to the team’s “Red Roses” nickname) while chatting with the players, joking about rugby and family.

This lighthearted sighting shows Kate back in action after a challenging period, bringing some warmth to a drizzly January day.
