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.

Kilauea Volcano Update, The Latest: Some Hawaii residents leave as Kilauea spews ash HONOLULU (AP) — The Latest on the summit eruption of Kilauea volcano on Hawaii's Big Island (all times local): 8:30 a.m. The summit explosion of Hawaii's Kilauea volcano created booming sounds in the nearby town of Pahoa and resident Toby Hazel says she's had enough and is preparing to leave town.

Chelsea 1-0 Manchester United | Chelsea Beat Man United To Win The FA Cu...

Chelsea 1 Manchester United 0 RECAP as Eden Hazard wins FA Cup for Blues at Wembley The Belgian was hauled down by Phil Jones and picked himself up to convert the penalty in what could be Antonio Conte's final match in charge Eden Hazard fired Chelsea to FA Cup glory against Manchester United as Antonio Conte's expected farewell ended with a memorable triumph against old foe Jose Mourinho. The 137th FA Cup final - and first utilising a video assistant referee - was not as cagey as some had feared but was hardly a rip-roaring affair as the Blues looked to atone for last season's shock finale defeat and a tepid Premier League title defence. Mourinho came into the match looking to frustrate his former club and write his name into the record books, but Conte - subject of so much speculation regarding his future - emerged triumphant as Hazard's first-half penalty secured a 1-0 win at Wembley. Many had fancied United to win a record-equalling 1...
