Looking pretty in pastels, back in June 2020, the Duchess of Cambridge stepped out in one of her most
memorable summer dresses to date.
Wowing royal fans in a lilac midi by Faithfull the Brand, the ‘Kate
effect’ well and truly took over as shoppers wiped it from stock. And now, with
the sunnier seasons fast approaching, Marks & Spencer has just dropped the loveliest lookalike.

Priced at £39.50, this timeless tea dress is adorned in a stunning sky
blue and lilac print. Fitted with a simple round neckline and puff sleeves, it
can be styled with everything from colourful heels to box-fresh trainers and
white ankle boots. A versatile addition to your wardrobe, we reckon Kate would
absolutely love it!
Keeping her accessories to a minimum, during her 2020 visit to The Nook
children’s hospice in Norfolk, she teamed her floral dress with her favourite
pair of espadrilles – thought to be the Russell & Bromley ‘Coco-nut’ wedges. Kate also appeared to be wearing her
Accessorize ‘Twisted Circle’ earrings, which cost just £5.

The Duchess has long been a royal patron of East Anglia’s children’s
hospices, and opened the facility herself back in November 2019 – so she was no
doubt thrilled to return for one of her first engagements since the coronavirus
lockdown, as well as marking Children’s Hospice Week.
In a sweet moment, she also gave an insight into how her family had been
keeping occupied during the lockdown, revealing that her kids had enjoyed a
sunflower-growing competition, with Prince Louis taking the lead.
Whilst teaching Star Pope-Saunders, 11, her brothers Hudson, eight, and
six-year-old Sonny how to loosen the plants from their pots to replant them,
the Duchess said: “The children are really enjoying growing their
sunflowers, Louis’s is winning so George is a little grumpy about that!”
