It's hotting up, finally, and who to look for outfoor dining inspiration? Kate Middleton. Duchess Kate is something of a pro when it comes to hosting picnics, from Hampton Court Palace to the boot of her car, and there’s only one place we bet she will be heading to, to stock up on picnic essentials – Cath Kidston. And the best news is, there's up to 50% off!
Both Princess Charlotte and big bro Prince George have been spotted many times wearing the British brand; Prince George wore an adorable Cath Kidston toy soldier tank top worn by in an official snap back in 2014 and it was a pony print Cath Kidston oilcloth backpack that Princess Charlotte carried on her first day at nursery.
