Princess Kate made a stylish return to the Royal Charity Polo Cup on Friday, July 10, cheering on Prince William in a summery gingham dress as temperatures soared in Windsor.
The Princess of Wales last attended the polo event in 2023, missing the charity match in 2024 as she received cancer treatment and skipping it in 2025. But the newest member of the Royal Family, Harriet Sperling, has been a regular at the polo cup since she started dating Peter Phillips in 2024, and the couple joined Kate for the equestrian action on Friday.
For this year's event, the Princess of Wales chose a past-season Temperley dress with a black and white gingham pattern, per Instagram account Kate Middleton Styled. The sleeveless style features a square neck, thick straps and a full skirt, and the princess styled her dress with tortoiseshell Ralph Lauren sunglasses.
Her choice of dress may have been a subtle sign of support for designer Alice Temperley, who announced Thursday that she will be stepping down from her fashion brand after 26 years.
The Princess of Wales wore her hair down in beachy waves, accessorizing with a pair of brown Sezane statement earrings she wore to the charity polo event in 2022. She also sported the string friendship bracelet Princess Charlotte made her to wear during the National Three Peaks Challenge along with one of her Halcyon Days bangles and a gold Sezane cuff.
Meanwhile, Harriet Sperling leaned into pastel blue for the event, wearing a Beulah London dress with elbow-length sleeves and a matching belt. Fresh off her appearance with husband Peter at Wimbledon, Harriet wore another pair of Finlay sunglasses and the same green amethyst Kiki McDonough earrings she wore to the tennis championships.
She also continued to show her allegiance to handbag designer Anya Hindmarch, toting a whimsical straw style with googly eyes. Harriet finished off her polo outfit with a new pair of strappy nude sandals by Loeffler Randall that showed off her coral pedicure.
