On Sunday afternoon, the Prince and Princess of Wales shared a fabulous photo album on their Instagram account, featuring some of their best-loved moments of the season.
In one photo, the Wales family were pictured from the back, stylishly stepping out for the 2026 Commonwealth Games, which took place in Glasgow.
"The Autumn Rewind," they penned, adding: "Thank you to everyone who has been a part of it!"
We couldn't help but notice Catherine's outfit in the first snapshot. Looking as resplendent as ever, the 44-year-old donned one of her favourite fashion items, the Breton-striped sweater by La Ligne, and a racing green blazer by Ralph Lauren.
She paired them with a Christopher Kane pleated midi skirt. As she walked into the venue, her white skirt gently blew in the wind, but thankfully, it didn't compromise her modesty.
It reminded us of the iconic time Marilyn Monroe's skirt hit headlines. Back in 1954, the actress famously stood over a New York City subway grate, holding down her white dress as it billowed around her while filming The Seven Year Itch.
The Princess of Wales' 2016 billowing skirt moment
This isn't the first time the royal has almost experienced a windy fashion faux pas.
Back in 2016, when she was known as the Duchess of Cambridge, Catherine paid a visit to New Delhi's India Gate war memorial and the skirt of her Emilia Wickstead dress got caught in the wind.
Luckily, she was able to catch the hem of her gown just in time to save any embarrassment as she laid a wreath with her husband, Prince William. But the royal was plagued by a number of strong gusts that not only sent the skirt of her ivory outfit billowing into the air, but also wrapped her hair around her face.
Queen Elizabeth's skirt hack
According to the MailOnline, the late Queen Elizabeth II had the most ingenious hack to avoid such a fashion faux pas - and it cost very little.
The former monarch's personal couturier, Stewart Parvin, told the Daily Mail that he would sew circular lead curtain weights in the hemlines of her skirts and dresses to guard against particularly strong gusts of wind.
He said: "I just pop a couple of weights into the hemline of her dresses and coats and it makes them hang beautifully. If there is a flap in the coat, then I will sew in one on each side of the split to even it up. And sometimes, if she is wearing a lightweight chiffon skirt, I will sew in a smaller lead weight the size of a pea or even a length of chain."
