Kate Middleton’s Easter Outfits Through the Years: Custom Coats by Alexander McQueen, Catherine Walker and More

Last week, Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales returned to the spotlight after spending months recovering from surgery. The royal revealed that she has been diagnosed with cancer and is currently undergoing chemotherapy.

It’s unclear whether Middleton will attend Easter services this year along with the rest of the royal family, a long-standing tradition enjoyed by the late Queen Elizabeth II. Since marrying into the high-profile brood, the Princess of Wales has traveled to Windsor for church services at St. George’s Chapel.
