Though the Princess of Wales' wardrobe is a sartorial haven filled to the brim with various shapes, styles and silhouettes, the stylish royal never strays too far from the brands that she knows best.

One of those is the Italian-born label Alessandra Rich.

A brand that seamlessly blends feminity with timeless elegance, it embodies everything that Kate stands for and epitomises her signature fashion flair.

Founded in 2010 with headquarters in London and an office in Milan, the collections are made in Italy and presented during Paris Fashion Week - arguably the most illustrious week in the fashion calendar.

Princess Kate turns to the brand for every kind of occasion - from Wimbledon to Royal Ascot and garden parties at Buckingham Palace, notably wearing polka dot pieces that stand the test of the convoluted trend cycles.

In 2023, Kate donned an understated yet effortlessly elegant green midi dress from the brand. A double-breasted-style button fastening at the chest and subtle pleating detail added an extra touch of elegance.

No more evidence is needed that the classic polka dot is totally timeless. On the Friday of Ascot in 2022, Kate wore a white long-sleeved Alessandra Rich piece with a contrasting black dotty pattern.

She paired it with suede brown court heels and a black and white headpiece.
