Autumn girlies are rejoicing that the weather is cooler and the darker tones are creeping back into the wardrobe. The Princess of Wales is proving to be the poster girl for this transitional period, stepping out on Thursday sporting a chocolate brown trench coat, a green turtleneck jumper and dark jeans.
Princess Kate looked effortlessly chic in her autumn ensemble for her engagement on the Isle of Bute alongside her husband Prince William.
The Burberry trench is the hero piece of the royal's smart/casual look, made distinctive by the brand's signature house check lining, visible at the bottom of the coat. The double-breasted design, which can retail for around £1,895, elevates the outfit, bringing structure to Kate's otherwise low-key look.
After looking inside the club, marveling at photos on the wall and the sports equipment, the mum-of-three took part in the Scottish Gaelic sport of Stinty herself. Kate looked very pleased as she struck the ball with the traditional stick, pulling a shocked expression afterwards.
Undeterred by the brisk Scottish winds, even when the heavy breeze and the motion of her swing swept her locks across her face, Kate was still smiling.
When watching the training session, Princess Kate was given a rose by a royal fan, and she took the time to shake hands and chat.
The Prince and Princess of Wales, known in Scotland as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay, arrived by ferry for their very first visit to the Isle of Bute. They are present to celebrate local community initiatives. The royals stopped by the Bute Shinty Club where they learnt how the sporting venue serves as a vital social hub for residents. The journey builds on their ongoing engagement with Scottish island life, following their visits to Iona and Mull last year.
We often see Princess Kate in the quintessentially British brand, Burberry, and she has now established quite the collection of coats and jackets. Earlier in the year, she sported a camel-hued coat - a classic look for an outing in Winchester. Back in 2023, she wore a quilted jacket, also from the brand.
