The Princess of Wales is undeniably a style icon with a wardrobe full of red carpet gowns and effortlessly chic daytime ensembles that turn heads on every outing.
Just this weekend, Kate, 42, was spotted on a rare occasion as she arrived at Balmoral for the annual summer stay with her husband Prince William, and their children, as well as King Charles, and Queen Camilla.
Kate arrived at Balmoral in style
Prince William's wife was spotted in the 'Full Length Marlborough Trench Coat' in Tawny by Holland Cooper. But it isn't the first time the royal mother of four has donned a stylish trench - in fact, an unexpected purple style from 2021 remains the highlight of her autumn wardrobe.
