It's been less than a month since Kate Middleton and Prince William welcomed the arrival of their third child, Prince Louis. As a result, it was touch-and-go whether the new mother would make an appearance at her brother-in-law, Prince Harry, and his fiancée, Meghan Markle's royal wedding today.

But, in true royal fashion, Kate Middleton wasn't going to miss out on some family fun with her nearest and dearest.

This afternoon, the mother-of-three made her first public appearance since giving birth at the couple's royal wedding and looked exquisite dressed in a pale yellow Alexander McQueen coat dress, matching hat and her signature nude heels.

The look is a stark change to the design she sported at her sister, Pippa Middleton's nuptials last May, with the Duchess opting for a more tailored, minimal outfit to reflect Meghan's chic Givenchy wedding dress.

Flaunting her enviable hair, Middleton opted for a glossy bouncy blowdry that sat perfectly under her large sculptural hat complete with full white blooms.

Last year, the proud sister donned a dusty pink Alexander McQueen dress with a matching fascinator, giving us all royal wedding flashbacks to her McQueen-designed dress at her own nuptials in April 2011.

Earlier this week, Vanity Fair reported the Duchess of Cambridge was spotted icognito taking a walk in Kensington Park Gardens on Tuesday afternoon with Prince Louis in an old-fashioned pram and Princess Charlotte by her side.

On 23 April, Kate gave birth to her son, Louis Arthur Charles, at the private Lindo wing of St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington, London.

Following the birth, Kensington Palace announced 'Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well', hours before the new parents and their child greeted the public with a wave on the steps of the hospital.

Doesn't Kate look glowing!
