Kate Middleton showed off her style during a whirlwind day of engagements in Northern Ireland, seamlessly moving from city chic to country casual.
The Princess of Wales began the day in a military inspired coat dress by Alexander McQueen, joining Prince William at a training centre for rescue workers. The look was polished and professional, perfectly suited to the occasion.
Later, Kate embraced a more rural vibe, swapping her designer coat for trusted brown boots, a tweed midi skirt, and a well worn Barbour jacket as the couple visited a farm in County Tyrone.
The visit, which was unannounced, delighted royal watchers and allowed the couple to shine a spotlight on organisations supporting creative and entrepreneurial opportunities for young people in Northern Ireland’s rural communities.
Both Kate and William appeared in excellent spirits, engaging warmly with locals and showcasing their ongoing commitment to nurturing talent across the UK.
The Princess of Wales shared laughs with volunteers and even joined in a training exercise, joking at one point that she wouldn’t mind “driving around in a fire engine with the sirens on.”
The 43-year-old royal first debuted the piece at Bradford City Hall in 2020, pairing it with black patent heels, a snakeskin bag, and statement earrings.
Kate has proven she’s not afraid to repeat a beloved outfit, having worn the same McQueen coat for the 2022 Christmas Day service at Sandringham.
