Kate narrowly avoids hat mishap at historic royal engagement

The Princess of Wales almost lost her hat during the enthronement of the first female Archbishop of Canterbury.

On Wednesday (25 March), Kate attended the ceremony installing Dame Sarah Mullally as the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury at Canterbury Cathedral.

As she arrived in Kent for the historic ceremony, the blustery wind forced Kate to quickly grab onto her wide-brimmed Juliette Botterill hat to avoid it being swept away.

The service was attended by 2,000 people, including the Prince of Wales and Sir Keir Starmer.
