Hey now, wind! Dutchess Kate had her very own Marilyn Monroe moment while visiting the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in New Delhi on Monday, April 11.

The Duchess of Cambridge, 34, chose the Emilia Wickstead Wool Crepe Dress with a Peter Pan collar, pocket accents and a sweeping skirt for the second day of her royal tour of India and Bhutan. She teamed the ensemble with blush Rupert Sanderson pointed-toe pumps and a Mulberry clutch.

But then the wind got a little cheeky. While bowing in front of the tomb to show her respect, the front of her dress whipped up. Luckily, she caught the hem, unintentionally recreating Monroe’s famed scene from The Seven Year Itch. (To be fair, the jacket of Prince William‘s navy suit flipped up, too!)

Middleton, who shares son Prince George, 2, and daughter Princess Charlotte, 11 months, with her husband of almost five years, remained composed, smiling through photos and righting her bouncy blowout.

That same day, the royal couple visited the sacred place where Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated. They scattered rose petals on the site and toured the house where he lived, which is now a museum. The duke and duchess also attended a spinning wheel demonstration and met with local entrepreneurs.
