Kate’s coat is the perfect style staple

 The coat is a bespoke item, but the designer charges upwards of £3,500 for similar styles. The royal last wore the style at Christmas, as she hosted her carol concert.

The pair also paid a visit to Pontypridd Market, where they toured the food hall and helped prepare a batch of Welsh cakes! 

Afterward, Kate and William were shown a community garden and woodland area.

Kate’s last visit to Wales

The Princess last visited Wales back in 2022. During her stay, she met different communities across the nation and they learned about the work of key charitable organisations.

The mother of Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis looked sublime wearing an all-black ensemble, which she jazzed up with a stunning red coat from one of her favourite labels, L.K. Bennett. The coat cost £599 at the time of purchase and featured bold gold buttons and gold horse-bit detail on the pockets.

It was interesting that she chose the L.K. Bennett coat as her first appearance with her new title, the Princess of Wales, after the loss of the late Queen Elizabeth months before. The coat was actually named the ‘Spencer’ coat – a sweet nod to her mother-in-law, Princess Diana as Spencer was her maiden name. The coat sold out immediately and has since been re-issued as part of their hero, ongoing collection.

Kate’s busy month

We last saw Kate just under two weeks ago, when she visited a Mother and Baby Unit (MBU) inside HMP Styal, a women’s prison in Wilmslow.
