On 31 January 2026, Catherine shared a personal video of her visit on Instagram, expressing her admiration for how The Arc has placed creativity at the heart of the community and made art widely accessible. She described the exhibition as “a powerful reminder of the connection between nature, creativity and craft,” and extended her thanks to the team at The Arc for the inspiring experience.
For the outing, Kate is seen wearing a camel single-breasted wool coat with coordinating trousers. It's been suggested the coat could be bespoke piece by Burberry but this has not been confirmed by the brand.

It's also suggested the orange scarf could be the pashmina first worn in April 2016 for a private dinner with the King and Queen of Bhutan during the Royal Tour.
However, I disagree. A closer look at the draping and appearance in the released video footage suggests otherwise. The scarf appears thicker, shorter, and more structured in how it sits around her neck—qualities more consistent with a denser wool or blended knit rather than the lighter, more fluid drape typical of a pashmina stole.

She appeared to be wearing chucky flat boots in dark brown suede.

She began the day with a visit to Family Action’s Children’s Trauma Therapy Service in Bradford.
The Princess, who has been Family Action’s royal patron since 2019, supports the organisation’s work helping children aged four to eighteen, and their families, to understand and recover from the effects of complex trauma. The service works closely with families who have experienced adversity, abuse and traumatic bereavement.

The Princess’s next engagement took place at Wakefield Trinity Rugby League Club, where she learned how the club’s outreach programmes bring generations together and support individuals experiencing isolation within the community.

Kate’s first look embraced tailored tonal browns, combining her Holland Cooper double-breasted blazer with a chocolate knit turtleneck (previously worn in February 2025) and new pair of Edeline Lee 'Averill' Trousers.

For the mountain walk, the Princess rugged up, layering her Dubarry ‘Friel’ olive utility jacket over the Seeland ‘Hawker’ pine green quilted jacket.
It's been suggested the teal-toned turtleneck may be the House of Bruar Ladies Merino Roll Neck in Racing Green (£59.95).
For extra warmth, Kate added a Brora cashmere fine-cable snood in Mushroom — a familiar style previously seen in her wardrobe in Bordeaux.
Her pants are the Holland Cooper Jodhpur Jean in Chocolate (£99).

For their day of engagements in Stirling and Falkirk, the Duchess of Rothesay wore a bespoke blue tartan double-breasted midi coat by London-based tailor Chris Kerr, crafted from wool fabric specially woven by Johnstons of Elgin.
She collaborated closely with Johnstons of Elgin to design the custom tartan pattern, selecting colours that evoke the Scottish Saltire flag.
Kate removed her coat during the visit to the curling centre, revealing her navy ZARA Buttoned Cuff Turtleneck paired with a new navy Le Kilt × Johnstons of Elgin long kilt (£895).
She also wore a new Fair Isle knit vest by Bamford. The owner of the British luxury lifestyle brand confirmed on Instagram that the piece is from their AW18 collection and was made in Scotland from British-spun wool.

For much of the day, the Princess wore her custom black suede block-heel boots by Gianvito Rossi. However, while on the ice at the curling centre, she changed into a new pair of Tod’s ankle boots in black suede (thanks to Kate Middleton Style for the ID).
Priced at $1,095, the Chelsea style boots feature a side elastic inserts, Tod's logo tag and rubber outsole with iconic embossed detailing.
Kate's beloved Sapphire & Diamond Oval Drop Earrings finished the ensemble.

Kate made a striking appearance at the reception in her red Alexander McQueen separates, first worn in January 2023 for the Shaping Us launch and later re-worn that year for the Coronation Concert.
It is difficult to say with certainty, but the blouse may be her Holland Cooper shirt bodysuit, which she has worn on several occasions with the lapels tucked neatly behind her blazer.
On her feet were the Gianvito Rossi 'Gianvito 105' Suede Pumps in Granta Red.
The Princess finished the look with her Katherine James Vintage Pearl Earrings and Auree 'Bali' January Garnet Birthstone Necklace.
