On the eve of the anniversary of Princess Diana's death [1], Kate Middleton, Prince William, and Prince Harry visited the Sunken Garden at Kensington Palace [2]. Never failing to dress for the occasion [3], Kate wore a green and orange poppy-printed dress. The Prada number was most appropriate for the garden, which was dedicated to Princess Diana and filled with some of her favorite flowers. The dress flowed as Kate walked, and long sleeves kept the outfit modest.
As Kate toured the area with the two princes, we took note: the cheery print was perfect for battling rainy-day blues. The Duchess of Cambridge didn't seem to mind the weather too much and despite all odds, glowed in her dress. She even wore her trusty L.K. Bennett pumps [4] in the rain. If you fell in love with Kate's dress too, it's luckily still shoppable, along with similar options ahead.
