Princess Kate wears Zara for the first time in a year - and it only cost her £26

Sporty Kate, who is known for her competitive streak, took to the ice to try her hand at the sport. She removed her tartan coat, and onlookers got a good look at her rollneck, a Zara purchase that she's had in her wardrobe for many years. 

It features luxurious gold statement buttons at the wrist and is a classic piece that will carry her through the seasons. You can still buy the style today for £25.99. Kate layered up with a Grandpa-core waistcoat featuring a Fair Isle-style heart design, and added a black A-line skirt and flat boots from Tod's. 

The Princess of Wales may have a huge wardrobe brimming with the most exclusive designer pieces from Emilia Wickstead and Jenny Packham to Mulberry, but she loves a high street splurge and has often frequented the Spanish shopping mecca.

Kicking off January 2025, Kate visited Tŷ Hafan, a children’s hospice based in Sully, near Cardiff. The royal delighted onlookers wearing a recycled Zara check dress with a bow-adorned neckline and flippy pleated skirt. The mid-length belted style was teamed with towering stilettos, and she added a longline bridal white coat to keep out the Welsh chill.

In 2020, Kate's green Zara culottes went viral during her visit to SportsAid that year. At the time, they were a sale purchase that had already sold out. Thrifty.

In 2018, Kate had a lovely day out with Prince George and Princess Charlotte at the Maserati Royal Charity Polo event in Gloucestershire to support Prince William, who was participating in the game.

Kate wore a light blue summer dress with a flared skirt from Zara, and at the time, it cost just £39.99.
