This Is Kate Middleton’s Hardest Working Coat—and It’s Bespoke

While the palace is supposedly moving away from reporting on Kate Middleton’s wardrobe, royal fans won’t have to dig too deep to get the details on the Princess of Wale’s current fashion. Yes, it’s another rewear.

Catherine Princess of Wales made an appearance yesterday at a mother and baby unit at HMP Styal in Cheshire, England, where she met incarcerated women, staff, and advocates. The royal spoke with both formerly incarcerated women and those still in prison who access help from the charity Action for Children, where she is a royal patron.

She wore a bespoke burgundy windowpane check Blaze Milano coat (which had been lengthened for the princess), a Gabriela Hearst turtleneck sweater, an Edeline Lee skirt, and brown pointed boots.

Most recently, she wore this same, typical and elegant outfit to visit The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust—of which she and husband Prince William had been made patrons—where she met medical staff and patients. It was one of her first official royal appearances, marking a tentative return to duties now she is in remission from cancer. Kate also wore the coat back in December 2021 for Christmas Day mass.
