Things heated up on social media. "This dress is terrible, she needs a new styling team," one user wrote.
Another sniped, "Who let her leave the house like that? The dress is unwearable for any woman." And yet another added: "Grandma Kate is back!" However, Kate is known for her sure sense of fashion. Whether it's a state banquet, reception or charity event - she usually almost always meets the taste of royal fans. This time, however, opinion was clearly divided.
Along with Kate and son George, King Charles III, Queen Camilla, Prince Edward with Sophie, and Prince Richard and his wife Brigitte were also present. Only one was missing: Prince William. The heir to the throne was on a business trip in Brazil, where he gave a speech on behalf of the king at the UN Climate Summit COP30 and awarded his environmental prize, the Earthshot Prize, in Rio de Janeiro.
