Adding an autumnal finish to her Parisian-inspired getup, the royal slipped into chunky leather boots - a rare change from her sky-high heels and pointed-toe pumps worn to most official engagements.

The mother-of-three elevated her casual ensemble with tumbling curls and a soft smokey eyeliner, adding delicate gold hoops for a touch of glamour.
