Princess Kate's casual midi dress wins HELLO!'s fashion editor's vote as best-dressed school run mum of 2025

The Princess of Wales has been pictured dropping the royal children off at school a handful of times, and each time the wife of Prince William has stepped out, she's looked as chic as can be, says HELLO!'s fashion and beauty editor Laura Sutcliffe.

"As a mother myself, the school run conveys quite a conversation style-wise. Most of the time, you are dashing out the door in a huge rush, and what you look like really is at the bottom of your list. However, one does like to look presentable, and I love to throw on a dress so I still appear smart," she says.

Check out Kate's own look here.
