The Duchess of Cambridge was pretty in pink as she joined husband Prince William and the Queen in a gorgeous coat dress at the second Royal Garden Party of the year.
Catherine oozed elegance in the beautiful Alexander McQueen number, which she paired perfectly with a matching dramatic fascinator and dainty pearl earrings that are said to have been owned by Princess Diana, according to The Daily Mail.
Standing tall in nude pumps, the mother-of-three was all smiles for the outing with the duke on the grounds of Buckingham Palace. William looked equally as stylish for the spring event in grey pants, a grey-blue suit vest and a dark red and white spotted tie.
The prince paired his outfit with a small pink flower which was tucked into his jacket to match his wife’s pretty frock while he carried an umbrella and hat to add to the look.
During the event, the royal couple spent time chatting with Kerry Irving and his assistance dog Max. Several photos from their interactions were shared online with one showing the duchess giving the adorable pup a pat.
“In 2006, Kerry’s car was hit by a truck, leaving him housebound with chronic neck and back pain,” Kensington Palace wrote in a post on Instagram.

“Kerry still suffers with pain from his back injury, but he credits Max with helping him to get his life back on track. Kerry has since retrained as a locksmith and Max is always with him.”
The post continued: “Kerry and his wife Angela have held dog walks to give other people the chance to spend time with Max, and helped raise money for local rehoming centre @EdenAnimalRescue.”
Catherine and William were joined by the Queen at the royal event which is the second of a string of garden parties set to be held at the residence over the coming weeks.
The garden parties are deemed an important occasion for the royals who are given the opportunity to mingle with members of the public who have made a positive impact in their community.
At each event, around 27,000 cups of tea are served to excited guests along with 20,000 sandwiches and 20,000 slices of cake. While not held inside the palace, the parties are still considered quite formal with men asked to wear morning dress or lounge suits, while women are invited to wear a day dress and a hat or fascinator.
