Kate Middleton made her latest public appearance of 2025 during a trip to Glasgow, Scotland, on Thursday. The Princess of Wales, known in Scotland as the Duchess of Rothesay, was joined by her husband of 14 years Prince William for the naming ceremony for HMS Glasgow.
For the occasion, Middleton opted for nautical inspiration — an appropriate and thematic choice for the occasion. The Princess of Wales wore a coatdress in navy with white accents around the collar, front placket and waist pockets courtesy of Suzannah London.

The Prince and Princess of Wales’ trip to Scotland comes only a few days after the couple attended a Buckingham Palace garden party on Monday. At the springtime event, Middleton went back into her royal wardrobe to rewear one of her most famous frocks.
The Princess of Wales opted for a butter yellow dress courtesy of Emilia Wickstead, with a coordinated fascinator by Philip Treacy. The last time Middleton wore the dress was back in June 2022 for the late Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations. At the time, Middleton’s look was the top-searched style according to data from fashion e-commerce aggregator Lovethesales analyst Hussain Ul-Haq.
