In 2012, Kate joined the Royal Family for her second Trooping the Colour ceremony, a special celebration that marks the Queen’s birthday.  Kate travelled in the procession with Camilla, both ladies looked elegant in blue:

The Queen wore a canary yellow outfit. You may recognise it from Kate and William’s wedding in 2011.  Here we take a look at The Queen (left) and a picture of Kate laughing with Prince Philip on the balcony during the traditional Royal Air Force flyover (right):

About Kate’s outfit:

Kate wore a pale blue dress by Canadian designer Erdem for the ceremony. The dress was a bespoke design, made especially for Kate.  It featured a distinctive rolled, scooped neckline and pale embroidered flowers stitched into the material.  You can see this detail better in the photo below:

With her blue Erdem dress, Kate wore a hat by milliner Jane Corbett.  Meanwhile, she held a plain grey suede clutch bag.  The bag appears to be by Alexander McQueen, but modified without the skull charm on top.
