Kate Middleton continued her style streak after a show-stopping appearance at the BAFTAs 2023 last month, looking elegant in yet another monochrome ensemble – although this time, it featured some high street pieces.

Kate Middleton nailed early spring style in her latest engagement, while visiting South Wales to mark St. David's Day, the country's patron saint, which takes place on 1 March.

The Prince and Princess of Wales toured a number of charities and organisations while in the country, wearing the national flower, the daffodil, on their lapels.

They started their trip with a visit to Brynawel Rehabilitation Centre, which treats people suffering from alcohol dependency. While there, the couple visited their rehabilitation garden, where Kate sowed some Sweet William flower seeds.

Next, they visited Aberavon Leisure & Fitness Centre in Port Talbot where William and Kate were challenged to a spin off, a 45-second race on spinning bicycles. Despite wearing a midi skirt and heeled boots, Kate managed to win against her husband, nabbing the mini gold trophy.

They finished their trip with a visit to the Wales Air Ambulance Charity.

For the trip, Kate wore a long cream overcoat, featuring an A-line silhouette, flap pockets, and lightly padded shoulders. She wore this over a past-season skirt from Zara, which featured an elegant black and white houndstooth print, raw edges at the hem and front placket, an A-line silhouette and self-covered buttons on the front.

She finished her look with a cream turtleneck jumper and bespoke Gianvito Rossi boots, in a slouchy style in suede with a block heel.

She accessorised with the Mulberry Small Amberley handbag, which features crocodile print and metal hardware. She added some sparkle with her Heavenly Necklaces Pearl and 'Diamonds' Earrings.
