Overview

  • The portraits released on June 15 show Prince William embraced by Princess Charlotte and her brothers in a candid Father’s Day tribute.
  • Charlotte’s deep green and navy tartan scarf mirrors the Kiltane cashmere check wrap Kate Middleton wore at Sandringham on Christmas Day 2024, prompting speculation she borrowed it from her mother’s wardrobe.
  • At Trooping the Colour on June 14, Kate Middleton returned to public duties in a bespoke aquamarine Catherine Walker coat dress while Charlotte matched her in a soft blue dress and wore a diamond horseshoe brooch gifted by Queen Elizabeth.
  • Hiring photographer Josh Shinner for the Father's Day session marks a departure from the Princess of Wales’s usual role as the family’s amateur photographer.
  • The coordinated outfits and shared accessories underscore the close mother-daughter bond and the royal family’s blend of tradition with modern touches.
