Posted by Mittie Cheatwood on Tuesday, June 4, 2024

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have bounced back after a night of toasting to Prince Charles. The morning after attending the Prince of Wales' 70th birthday party, Kate Middleton and Prince William stepped out for an appearance at the BBC in London to talk about cyberbullying, in honor of Anti-Bullying Week.

Middleton opted for a long sleeve teal dress by Emilia Wickstead with a pleated skirt that fell right at the knees. She paired the frock with classic black pumps and wore her hair down in her signature brunette curls.

Eagle-eyed royal fans pointed out on social media that this isn't the first time Kate has worn the Wickstead number. She was seen wearing it in 2015, during a visit to the Action on Addiction Centre in Warminster, England.

And before that, in 2014, she sported the look on the other side of the globe during a visit to New Zealand with Prince William. At the time, she wore a matching fascinator to complete the ensemble.

Today's outfit is much more dressed down from last night's appearance at Buckingham Palace, where the Duchess of Cambridge wore stellar diamond earrings and an asymmetrical pink dress. Full photos of her look, or of the party, have not been released yet.

Other members of the royal family in attendance were the Queen, Prince Charles, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, Princess Eugenie, Jack Brooksbank, and Zara and Mike Tindall. Only a few details have been shared about the private celebration, but we do know that Her Majesty gave a touching toast to her son.
