The mum-of-three was captured giggling as a huge gust of wind threatened to fully blow up the hem of the dress at Princess Eugenie’s wedding to Jack Brooksbank.

Thankfully Kate handled the situation like a pro and managed to smooth down the dress as she left St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle with husband Prince William.

Clearly not fazed by her Marilyn Monroe moment, Kate smiled as she stood next to other royals, including the Queen and Sophie, the Countess of Wessex.

Typically Kate is known to weigh down her hems to avoid her dresses blowing up, and also has another handy trick to avoid a wardrobe malfunction.

Earlier on in the day, Kate caused royal fans to gush after her and Prince William were pictured in a rare moment of PDA holding hands in the chapel.
