Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, looked sensational as she attended a gala dinner at the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Kate Middleton looked every inch a Princess as she arrived at the V&A for a the 100 Women in Finance gala dinner.

The gala was organised to help raise money for mental health initiatives in schools, a charity close to the Duchess of Cambridge’s heart.

For the occasion, Meghan Markle’s sister-in-law wore a stunning pink gown, complete with a flowing skirt and a velvet ribbon around the waist.

In the ensemble, fans were quick to compare the Duchess to a famous Disney Princess – Princess Aroura.

Also known as Sleeping Beauty, royal fans compared the pink dress to one worn by the Disney character in the 1959 film.

One fan commented on the outfit: “I LOVE THIS DRESS! She looks like a Disney Princess. And the maroon velvet belt and clutch are so on trend.”

Another added: “She looks like a Disney princess...Aurora is shaking!”
