Kate Middleton Embraces French Girl Chic for a Rare Family Outing With Prince William and Her Three Children.
It’s a rare public appearance for the family of five.
The Wales family took a break from their summer vacation to watch the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games. Prince William and Kate Middleton brought their three children along—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—to what is being described as the kids’ first official public engagement in Scotland.
For the sporty outing, brothers Louis and George wore button-down shirts, while Charlotte was in a polka dot dress. The Princes and Princess of Wales, meanwhile, both wore blazers; Kate’s looks to be a forest green one from Ralph Lauren.
The last time the Waleses stepped out as a family of five was for Trooping the Colour in June, and for Easter Sunday church services in April. In addition, William and Kate brought Prince George and Princess Charlotte to the Wimbledon men’s finals; they all met winner Jannik Sinner after his victory.
Other members of the royal family have attended the Commonwealth Games so far this summer, including King Charles, Queen Camilla, Princess Anne, Prince Edward, and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh. The games, held every four years, are a version of the Olympics—but specifically for athletes from the Commonwealth of Nations.
“Seeing the Batons arrive into Scotland today, in all their colorful glory, carried by inspiring athletes and para-athletes, reminds us once again that the Commonwealth is a unique and extraordinary family of nations,” King Charles said in his remarks during the opening ceremony. He added, “As we gather, we celebrate the dedication and talent of every athlete and team. Your perseverance inspires us, and we eagerly anticipate your achievements in the coming days.”
There are a few styling formulas that just scream Kate Middleton. A perfectly tailored coat dress. A clean A-line skirt. A sharp blazer. And, of course, a classic horizontal Breton stripe. For her latest outing, Kate embraced her penchant for the French girl staple print—and added a few of her other signature touches while she was at it.
Kate appeared in the stands at day nine of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow on August 1 alongside her husband Prince William and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. It was their first family outing since Trooping the Colour in June.
For the family outing, Kate returned to her trusty stripe with a white sweater with thick black horizontal stripes. She paired the classic piece with a white pleated skirt and a deep forest green tailored blazer. She completed the look with a delicate pair of drop pearl earrings and her signature side-parted curled hair style.
Back in 2024, InStyle explored Kate’s love of the nautical stripe. “Whether it’s a top or a jumper, the Breton acts as somewhat of a comfort blanket for Catherine,” Clemmie Fieldsend, fashion editor at The Sun told us. “It’s become a uniform for her, which means when she wears it she’ll instantly feel confident and at ease, especially through difficult times. It’s also a reminder of consistency, not only for Kate, but for us, too. The royals, as a British consistent that we can rely on, as is a Breton top, thanks to its long historical popularity.”
As for her daughter, Charlotte, she coordinated with her mom in a white dress with fluttery sleeves and a black print of both stripes and polka dots. Meanwhile, William wore a gray suit with a pale blue shirt. George wore a white shirt and Louis wore a royal blue shirt.
