It might only be January, but 2018 is proving to be a busy year for the royal family. Not only are there two weddings and two new royal babies to look forward to, but there are plenty of official engagements already in the diary. The Duchess of Cambridge already has seven royal visits under her belt this year - and she has lived to all expectations with her incredible wardrobe choices. Kicking off the year in style, Kate stunned on January 7 in a tweed coat by Moloh, which cost £445, as she stepped out for a church service in Sandringham. Eagle-eyed fans were quick to point out that the Kate had worn the stylish outerwear item before, back in 2014. This time round, she complemented the brown coat with a large hat, chocolate brown high heels and chestnut quilted bag by Chanel. We have rounded up the wife of Prince William's 2018 looks so far - which one is your favourite?
For her first engagement of the year, Kate visited London's Reach Academy Feltham school as part of her work as patron for mental health charity Place2Be. The pregnant royal wore a smart navy coat by Hobbs, which covered her pretty floral Seraphine maternity dress.
Duchess Kate visited Coventry for her second official visit of 2018, where she started her day at Coventry Cathedral. The mother of Prince George, four, and Princess Charlotte, 2, dazzled the waiting crowd in a punchy pink coat by Mulberry, which she first wore in 2015 when pregnant with little Charlotte.
On 17 January, the wife of Prince William visited Great Ormond Street Hospital in central London, and wore high street brand Boden for the very first time. The tomato red coat featured a structured design and ruffled detail around the neckline and above the pockets. She accessorised with a simple black clutch bag and pearl drop earrings by Annoushka.
Keeping it sporty! The Duchess certainly looked the part as she showed her support for the Wimbledon Junior Tennis Initiative at Bond Primary School in Mitcham. Kate, 36, dressed in a white tracksuit top by Clarice, black track pants and Nike trainers - andmanaged to make the casual get-up look incredibly stylish.
On 23 January, Duchess Kate visited Roe Green Junior School in Kingsbury, north-west London, where she met with teachers and staff. Kate was a total blue beauty in the Sportmax coat and shoes by Rupert Sanderson, and she jazzed up her neckline with a printed silk scarf by Beluah London.
On 24 January, the mother-to-be braved the cold and rainy conditions to wow the waiting crowd at Kings College in a pastel coat by her favourite maternity brand Seraphine. The baby blue hue gave the pregnant royal a lovely fresh look, and she carried a quilted clutch bag.
Next up for the busy Duchess was her much anticipated royal tour of Sweden and Norway, accompanied by her husband Prince William. On the 30th January the pair kicked off their trip in Stockholm with a Bandy hockey match, and a giggling Kate clearly enjoyed the game, wearing a snug black coat by Burberry, lace-up boots and bobble hat.
William and Kate posed for a group photo with Sweden's King Carl Gustaf, Queen Silvia, Prince Daniel and Crown Princess Victoria before their luncheon at the royal palace in Stockholm. The Duchess looked suitably chic in a long-sleeved green shift dress by Catherine Walker, with sheer black tights and heeled court shoes.
Later that day, the couple were accompanied by Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel of Sweden for a walk through the city to Stockholm's Nobel Museum. The Duchess changed into an emerald coat to match her shift dress underneath - again by Catherine Walker - leg-warming boots and her signature fur hat, to protect her from the chill.
The Duchess truly stunned with her evening looks during the royal tour - kicking off proceedings with this beautiful yellow floral Erdem gown. With her hair swept up in a chignon and a simple clutch to accessorise the look, she certainly set the bar high for the rest of the trip!
Kate continued her fashion partnership with Catherine Walker on the 31st January with this gorgeous red houndstooth coat for the next stop of the royal tour, which saw her and Prince William visit the Karolinska Institute, to meet with academics and practitioners to discuss Sweden's approach to managing mental health challenges. Her beautiful burgundy Chanel bag caught the eye of many, too, as well as the cream tweed Alexander McQueen dress she wore underneath.
The Duchess carried on with her exquisite evening looks at a reception at the Fotografiska Gallery in Sweden with another beautiful Erdem dress, this time in a blue midi-length with bell sleeves and a rounded high neckline. With her elegant updo and fine teardrop earrings, this was a refreshingly modern look for Kate - finished with pointed ankle-strap stilettos.
The Duke and Duchess arrived to snowfall in Norway on the 1st February, where once again Kate showed off her enviable coat wardrobe in another Catherine Walker number - this time in light blue with a flattering high neck collar. Styling the look with another updo, black courts and gloves, she certainly looked winter-wonderful!
Later, the royal couple attended a luncheon hosted by Norway's King Harald and Queen Sonja, where the Duchess removed her coat to reveal a beautiful blue Seraphine midi dress, with long lace sleeves and a flattering empire silhouette.
Another dazzling evening wear moment came when Kate stepped out with King Harald at the Royal Palace in Oslo for an official dinner - her nude pink Alexander McQueen gown, with a dramatic cape and beautiful neck embellishment, was a true head-turner. The Duchess teamed the show-stopping look with another simple undo and sparkling earrings.
It was business as usual the next day as the Duchess chatted to crowds at Norway's Hartvig Nissen School - the location for the successful Norwegian television programme 'Skam'. Her flattering burgundy coat with gold military buttons is by Dolce and Gabbana, worn with cosy black gloves and Tod's court shoes.
Always in her element when it comes to active pursuits, the Duchess looked naturally beautiful as she arrived at the Holmenkollen ski jump with Prince William on the 2nd February, to watch junior ski jumpers from Norway's national team in action. Her cosy ski jacket is by KJUS Duana, teamed with a cute Barts Jasmin bobble hat to keep her ears warm.
The Duchess dazzled waiting photographers and members of the press on 28 February when she arrived at the National Portrait Gallery wearing this gorgeous floral dress by Orla Kiely, which retails for £490. She braved the snowy weather with no coat and completed her look with coordinated nude high heel shoes and a classic clutch bag. She wore her rich brunette tresses in a slightly curled style and her makeup made the most of her fresh pregnancy glow.
The Duchess coordinated with her soon-to-be sister-in-law Meghan Markle when they made their first official appearance together at the Royal Foundation Forum in London. The pregnant royal stepped out in a dress from her favourite maternity brand, Seraphine, which retails for £99. The design, which features button detailing at the waist, highlighted the Duchess' neat baby bump, and she completed her look with a pair of matching blue court shoes and simple accessories.
