Today, the Princess of Wales made her first public appearance since Garter Day two weeks ago in Essex at the RHS’s Wellbeing Garden at Colchester Hospital. The visit coincides with the donation of 50 Catherine’s Rose plants, named after the princess by the RHS; funds from the sales of the rose flowers goes to the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.

During the rain-soaked visit, the princess had the opportunity to plant one of her namesake roses herself.

In addition, the princess met with patients and candidly discussed the “rollercoaster” of her cancer recovery and opened up about the “really, really difficult” period of her life. The princess previously revealed she has been in remission from cancer since January. (She was diagnosed in March 2024.)

For the outing, the mom of three wore her beige Blazé Milano Wind Hunter Charmer pinstriped blazer.

She paired the jacket with a new Ralph Lauren Capri button-up shirt featuring contrasting stripes.

In addition, she wore new Joseph Coleman Gabardine stretch trousers in brown.

For accessories, she wore her Auree jewelry Bali garnet necklace featuring her birthstone. She also owns a promise ring gifted from Prince William with the same red stones. 

The princess elevated the business-casual ensemble with her Cartier Trinity classic hoop earrings featuring white, yellow and rose gold bands interwoven together.
