The Princess of Wales has worn some incredible winter looks since entering the spotlight as Prince William's girlfriend in the noughties.
Kate, 42, wears the most luxurious of fabrics in the cooler months from wool coats to satin skirts but the Princess rarely wears leather these days.
However, in 2009 Kate was seen supporting her royal beau at a polo match at Cirencester Park Polo Club where she rocked a fitted leather jacket with utility pockets.
She was seen styling the earthy grey number with black wedges and a lemon blouse with embroidered detailing.
