Kate Middleton Arrives at the Royal Wedding Less Than a Month After Giving Birth to Prince Louis

The second most-anticipated arrival of the royal wedding is here: Kate Middleton is in the chapel!

The royal mom is making her first public appearance since she welcomed her third child, Prince Louis, with husband (and Harry’s best man!) Prince William on April 23. (She was spotted in the car on the way to Harry and Meghan’s wedding rehearsal on Thursday, but this is the royal mom’s first official appearance.)

It’s been less than a month since Louis’s arrival, and Kate was back to her stylish self, wearing a light yellow coat dress featuring and a matching hat, as well as a big smile as she waved to the crowds gathered outside of St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle. Kate’s elegant post-baby appearance is no surprise considering her effortless debut on the steps of the Lindo Wing at St. Mary’s Hospital just a few hours after giving birth to little Louis.

She arrived with her children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, who are serving as a page boy and bridesmaid in the wedding. She sat next to Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall during the ceremony at the front of the church.

It’s the event of the year! Be sure to keep up with all of PEOPLE’s royal wedding coverage and don’t forget to check out everything you need to know about Meghan Markle’s perfect style.

Kate’s Alexander McQueen dress is a piece by one of her favorite designers. She’s previously worn designs from Alexander McQueen on several occasions, including her own wedding in 2011. She also wore a hat by Philip Treacy and shoes by Jimmy Choo.

Though the dress very much resembled another Alexander McQueen dress Kate favors — the white dress she wore to Trooping the Colour in 2016 and Princess Charlotte’s christening in 2015, it is a different dress. This one is a pale yellow, the other dress is white.

Monaco Grand Prix qualifying: Daniel Ricciardo on pole for Red Bull

Monaco Grand Prix qualifying: Daniel Ricciardo on pole for Red Bull Daniel Ricciardo claimed pole position for the Monaco Grand Prix after Red Bull Formula 1 team-mate Max Verstappen missed qualifying thanks to his practice crash. Ricciardo topped the first two stages of qualifying, with Verstappen unable even to take to the track thanks to damage sustained in a morning accident at the second part of Swimming Pool that forced a gearbox change, before banging in a 1m10.810s on his first run in Q3 to take top spot. Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton briefly threatened Ricciardo's position with the fastest first sector time of qualifying on his final flier, but lost pace later in the lap and ended up third behind Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel. Ricciardo, meanwhile, looked set to improve, but dropped time in the final sector and ended up posting a lap 0.036 seconds slower than his first attempt. This is only Ricciardo's second pole position in F1, coming two years afte

Royal Wedding Reflects A Changing Britain : Parallels : NPR

Royal Wedding Reflects A Changing Britain When millions of people tune in Saturday morning for the British royal wedding, there will be talk of fairy tales and plenty of cinematic shots of Prince Harry and his bride, Meghan Markle, riding in a horse-drawn carriage past thousands of cheering fans with the turrets of Windsor Castle in the background. But beyond the pageantry and royal stagecraft at which the British excel, there is a genuine story about a changing Britain, a complicated American family, a resilient monarchy and the redemption of a wayward prince. What makes this wedding interesting is not Prince Harry's position. He is sixth in line to the throne and extremely unlikely ever to sit upon it. Instead, much of the focus has been on his unconventional choice in a bride: a biracial, divorced American TV actress. For years, Harry dated from the usual pool of upper-class women. "These girls were always the same," said Kate Williams, a profes
