A shirtdress is a timeless essential in the wardrobe of any modern royal, something Princess Kate clearly understands well.
Recently, the Prince and Princess of Wales gave the public a rare glimpse into their family life during a personal and emotional moment. In a heartfelt video message, Kate announced that she had completed chemotherapy, sharing her cancer journey with the world.
The video, which captured intimate moments of the family enjoying the summer holidays, featured Prince William, Prince George (11), Princess Charlotte (9), and Prince Louis (6), all spending quality time together.

One particularly touching scene showed the family playing cards around a table, joined by Kate’s parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, at their Norfolk home. Amid this candid glimpse into their family’s life, Kate showed her down-to-earth side by wearing a simple, affordable denim dress from H&M.
The choice of this low-key outfit, spotted by dedicated royal fashion fan Valerie Nijssen and confirmed by the Royal Fashion Police, surprised many. Though Kate is often seen in high-end labels like Alessandra Rich and Alexander McQueen, she has no qualms about incorporating high-street fashion into her wardrobe.
This particular number, a casual, light blue denim shirt dress, featured short sleeves with rolled cuffs, chest pockets, and a button-down design. A belt made from the same material cinched her waist, completing the relaxed yet polished look.
