Channelling Duchess Kate in her tartan number, the royal paid tribute to local heritage during her Scottish visit with her symbolic skirt in shades of red and blue.
But it was her statement coat that really caught our eye – a soft suede with button detailing and a boxy cut, it certainly wouldn't have looked out of place in Kate's wardrobe!

The Princess Royal unveiled a special plaque before conversing with members and touring the new facility, which is the first Men's Shed to team up with Legion Scotland in a bid to help ex-servicemen in need.
Men's Sheds are community spaces for men to connect, converse and create, aimed at reducing loneliness and isolation.
Paul Evans, the chairman of Banchory and District Men's Shed, told The Press and Journal: "We are honoured to welcome HRH The Princess Royal to mark the opening of our Men's Shed.
"It has been heartening to see this project finally come to fruition after many hurdles. It can now go forward as a resource for men in our community who are looking for new social contacts and activities, for example, after retirement."
