The Princess of Wales, 41, donned a pair of Collingwood drop pear earrings gifted to her from Princess Diana’s collection.
She also wore a high neck black and white polka dot midi dress by Alessandra Rich, and a matching hat by Philip Treacy.
She chatted animatedly with Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh as they watched their husbands William and Edward.
Queen Camilla arrived with Charles and could be seen clinging to her hat as the wind whipped up around her.
The Order of the Garter, a 700-year-old ceremony renowned for its pomp and pageantry, recognises great public service.Â
It sees royals don grand velvet robes and plumed hats for a procession from Windsor Castle to St George’s Chapel for a private service.
New knights will be invested and a lunch will be served in the castle’s Waterloo chamber.
The order is limited to 24 Knights or Ladies Companion.
Those given the honour have held public office, contributed to national life or personally served sovereign.
Members of the Order at the event included former prime ministers Sir Tony Blair and Sir John Major.
Former Labour minister Catherine Ashton was made Lady Companion while Chris Patten, the final governor of Hong Kong, became a Knight Companion.
Some 800 guests were invited inside the chapel and 2,900 members of the public who won ballot tickets watched from outside.
Meanwhile, Prince Andrew is allegedly refusing to leave his Royal Lodge home during renovations – in case he “never gets back in”.
The royal, who no longer has official duties, shares the sprawling 30-room mansion in Windsor with just his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson.
King Charles is said to be keen for Andrew, who was given Royal Lodge on a long-term lease by the Queen Mother, to leave the £30million home as part of plans to scale down the monarchy.
But Andrew has forked up £7million of his own money for roof repairs this summer – and is allegedly refusing to move out for them.
The Sun revealed that Andrew cannot live in the property for much longer – as it has a serious damp problem and needs a new roof.

A source told the Mail: “It’s become farcical. Andrew has roof repairs scheduled later this summer which will take several months to complete.
“He has been advised that staying in the house during those renovations could prove problematic. But he is reluctant to leave.”
