Kate Middleton's 2006 Style: A Chelsea Girl Throwback
2 Jun
Summary
- Kate attended a 2006 party in a floral skirt and black top.
- She lived in a £1.88 million Chelsea apartment with siblings.
- Prince William visited their shared London flat during their courtship.
A stunning fashion moment from 2006, when Kate Middleton was dating Prince William, has recently resurfaced. Attending Richard Branson's pre-Wimbledon party, the then-future royal showcased a memorable outfit.
Her ensemble featured a black and red floral skirt complemented by a waist-cinching black top. She accessorized with black pointed stilettos, a small velvet handbag, and a silver watch, highlighting her legs.
During this era, Kate lived in a £1.88 million Chelsea apartment with her siblings, Pippa and James. Her brother James shared anecdotes in his book, recalling Prince William's visits to their SW3 flat.
James Middleton's memoir details how Prince William would sometimes visit their home, even causing him and his dog, Ella, to take extra laps around the block to avoid disrupting the couple.
He also admitted that the apartment could become "messy" due to his presence, with damp clothes and unwashed crockery sometimes left out, much to his sisters' mild chagrin.
