Back in April 2014, Kate Middleton hit Manly Beach in Australia wearing a stunning white broderie anglaise midi dress from Zimmerman, and every year we’re reminded that it may just be the perfect spring dress. Although Kate’s exact one has long since sold out there have been plenty of other versions to hit retailers since, but this year Marks and Spencer may have just brought out the best one yet.
The Pure Cotton Broderie Midi Shirt Dress, £59 here, is giving us some major Kate-inspired vibes with its embroidered broderie material and fitted silhouette, and it’s quickly becoming one of this spring’s must-have dresses. The midi dress is made from pure cotton which means it’s lightweight and breathable – perfect for sunny days – whilst still having enough weight and a crisp finish that lets it hang beautifully.
It has a slightly tailored bodice with an A-line skirt that flares out and the tie waist belt can either be worn fastened to cinch in your figure or removed to give a more relaxed look.
The short puff sleeves help add a little volume and drama, whilst the classic collared neckline means this is a dress that can be worn for a whole host of occasions. It also has a button up front and – (best of all) it has two side pockets.
We love it paired with some gladiator sandals and a straw basket bag for casual brunches or days at the beach, but you could just as easily layer it with a blazer and some block heels for the office. Alternatively, pair with trainers and a denim jacket for a comfy, relaxed look, or even team with cowboy boots and a leather jacket for a chic twist on festival fashion.

In a matter of days, The Prince and Princess of Wales will celebrate their 13th wedding anniversary.

business development consultant Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital. “There have been too many examples of the ‘Sussex Survivors Club’ for the allegations not to be true … In contrast, not even one such report has ever been raised regarding Kate Middleton.”Fordwich was referring to former palace aide Samantha Cohen, who confirmed in a recent interview with the Australian Herald Sun that she was one of 10 staffers who were questioned about allegations that Markle “bullied” staffers during her time in the palace.

When it comes to footwear, loafers are a tried and true classic that never goes out of style.Timeless, sophisticated and perfect for nailing a whole host of different looks, no wardrobe is complete without a pair of the iconic shoes, as Princess Diana knew all too well. The late Princess of Wales was often spotted wearing a pair whilst off duty, and one of her most recognisable outfits saw her wearing a brown and cream pair of pointed loafers with white skinny jeans, a white T-shirt and a khaki blazer whilst shopping in Knightsbridge, London, in 1994.The look is the perfect embodiment of the quiet luxury aesthetic, and if you want to recreate it, La Redoute’s Two-Tone Leather Loafers, £79.20 here (was £99), are the perfect way to do it.

10th anniversary of the Invictus Games.And it seems as though both camps are looking to put the past behind them, as the monarch, 75, is reportedly considering playing “peacemaker” between the feuding brothers.Palace sources claim that Charles has given Harry the go-ahead about a potential meetup with the Prince of Wales.“It is very likely that Harry and William will see each other next month and anything is possible. The King will want the brothers to patch things up so it’s more than likely that he could play peacemaker,” a source told Sky News Australia.“King Charles wants to make a peace deal between Harry and William in his life,” a separate insider told the outlet.The Post has reached out to Buckingham Palace and reps for the Sussexes for comment.While Harry’s rumored trip is still unconfirmed, it’s believed that celebrations will take place at St Paul’s Cathedral.It’s unclear if the trip will be yet another solo venture, following hot on the heels of his mad dash to his home soil in February.It’s believed that the Duke did not see William, the heir to the throne, during his blink-and-you-miss-it 24-hour trip to London last month.What’s more, Harry stayed at a luxe London hotel rather than with family at one of their many royal residences peppered across the country.The Waleses have had a yearslong rift with the Sussexes, but last month it was reported that the pair may be looking to bury the hatchet once and for all.The Prince and Princess of Wales have reportedly asked the Sussexes to bring their children with them the next time they visit the UK, but apparently, Markle has politely passed up on the offer.
