On Wednesday, The Prince and Princess of Wales took a train to Pontypridd, in south Wales, ahead of St David's Day on 1 March.

In pictures which appeared on the couple's official Instagram account, an image was shared of the pair walking along a busy platform, and Kate was seen carrying a tan commuter-style bag!

Kate's bag is by Mulberry, and known as the 'Bayswater Tote in Oak Small Classic Grain Leather.' It's priced at £845.

The website says of the style: "The Bayswater is considered a Mulberry icon. This Tote bag update is eternally practical, and spacious enough to fit essentials from an iPad to a pair of shoes. This classic style retains the beloved Postman's Lock hardware of the original. Use the removable pocket to store your most valued essentials."

It seems that Kate knows the havoc commuter build-ups can cause; the royal couple's visit was delayed by almost an hour due to train disruptions.

Back in 2021, Kate was photographed arriving at Glasgow station and stepping off the train,  wearing a casual outfit which consisted of a black roll-neck jumper, skinny jeans, and a Ganni gilet. Swinging by her side was yet another fabulous tote bag.

Kate has the older black version, but it has since been updated and now comes in four different colours. So chic!

Another travel bag Kate often sports is the majorly handy Le Pliage tote by Longchamp, which folds up to a discreet size when you're not using it. 

French for ‘folding’, the 'Pliage' is a classic bestseller from the venerable brand, which started in 1948 as a luxury leather goods company in Paris.

Kate is said to own the handy bags in brown and navy, plus some of the larger travel carryalls.
