The Princess of Wales showcased her sophisticated winter style during a solo visit to a nursery on Wednesday.
Kate arrived at Foxcubs Nursery in Luton wearing a classic camel coat from high street brand, Massimo Dutti. The royal was last seen wearing this versatile style on a visit to Scarborough in November 2022 and on this occasion, she paired it with a contrasting orange polo neck and matching skirt by womenswear designer Gabriela Hearst.
Kate added a belt to the look, which was complete with suede boots, a matching clutch bag and gold earrings.
The princess, who has focused her work on the early years, was seen chatting to the nursery staff and joining some of the children in their arts and crafts activities during the engagement. In a post on Instagram, the royal account shared a short video from the occasion and highlighted the importance of supporting children's development from a young age.
"Outstanding early years settings like this play a huge role in positively shaping a child’s development," the Prince and Princess of Wales wrote. "The collaboration between staff and parents is just one of the ways children here are supported in their first five years."
The belted dress and winter coat combination has become a go-to style for Kate. She chose a similar look for a visit to Liverpool earlier in the month, when she chose a statement-making tartan coat from Holland Cooper and a navy knit dress.
