It's been a busy week for the Princess of Wales! The mother-of-three has just completed her first solo trip to Italy, and we've loved seeing her fabulous display of outfits.

After her resplendent arrival on Wednesday, in which she wore a turquoise suit by Edeline Lee, the 44-year-old arrived at the Salvador Allende pre-school during her two-day trip.

Kate donned an off-white, pleated midi skirt by Jenni Kayne, which she teamed with a stone-hued pinstripe blazer by Blazé Milano. Accessorising to perfection, she added Chanel-style capped-toe shoes with a buckle-adorned slingback strap by Camilla Elphick and jewels by Kiki McDonough.

Kate's new bracelet could be seen, alongside her Cartier watch

As she was seen chatting with the children, the royal rolled up her sleeves to reveal not only her Cartier 'Ballon Bleu' watch - worth around £5,000 - but a new bracelet! The wrist candy was made from fabric printed with florals and was woven delicately around her wrist. It also features cubic gold charms, bearing the initials of her children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. Designed by Atelier Molayem, the bracelet itself costs under £10, and the initial charms cost £78 each.

Kate wore this stunning Cartier necklace in 2012

Her most iconic piece is widely considered to be this stunning pendant. Making a fashion statement in 2012, Kate had an engagement connected to the Olympics, and amped up a classic blue Stella McCartney dress as she visited an exhibition about the Games at the National Portrait Gallery.

Kate's Cartier necklace is thought to be a gift from Prince William

The brunette beauty added a £50,000 Cartier Trinity Necklace with an 18-carat chain, which featured pavé diamonds as well as three intertwined circles of pink, yellow, and white gold. At the time, many speculated it could have been a gift for her 30th birthday from Prince William.

A St James's Palace spokesman said of the necklace: "It's a personal piece which she's had for some time. It's not an official Olympic item, but it's appropriate to wear it."
