Kate Middleton and Prince Williams in 'Canada Day' Celebrations

July 1 is ‘Canada Day’ and happened to be the 50th birthday of Princess Diana. The occasion called for wearing the national colours of Canada; therefore, Kate wore a red Maple Leaf fascinator from Lock and Co. paired with a white dress to honour the flag of Canada, which quite resembled the famous white Reiss dress she wore for her official engagement photos. She also reportedly wore the Queen's brooch.

The Royal Couple, Prince William and Kate Middleton, then were taken in a horse drawn carriage to a Canada Day Show. William and Kate next hop into an open-air carriage and headed to Parliament Hill to watch the start of a parade.
