Summary

  • Catherine, 44, made a surprise Friday appearance at Guards Polo Club, watching Prince William from the sidelines before stepping onto the field to congratulate him with a kiss.
  • The Princess paired a black-and-white Temperley London dress with a new three-bracelet stack — an aquamarine Halcyon Days bangle, a Sezane howlite cuff and a turquoise band believed to be new.
  • The outing highlighted a rare shift in her styling: Catherine usually skips bracelets, though she has increasingly embraced stacked jewelry, especially rings, over the past year.
  • William was playing the Royal Charity Polo Cup for the 15th time, and this year's event is expected to push total fundraising above £15 million for charities backed by the Waleses.
  • The polo appearance opens a busy sporting weekend for Catherine, who is due to continue her public role at Wimbledon as patron of the All England Club.
