KATE'S OUTFIT
REPLIKATE THE LOOK FOR LESS ...
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge travelled from Manchester to Wales overnight to arrive in Cardiff this morning on their final day of the Royal Train tour.
They visited Cardiff Castle to highlight how the local tourism industry has coped in the pandemic. Kate looked elegant yet festive in her red Alexander McQueen double-breasted long coat which she debuted for the ‘Hold Still’ Outdoor community exhibition launch in October. Underneath the coat we got a glimpse of the Emilia Wickstead 'Pris' Red Tartan Skirt. You may recall seeing it at the 2018 Christmas party which the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge hosted at Kensington Palace for the Royal British Legion. The new scarf Kate wore today appears to have the same tartan print, hence we can only assume it's by the same designer. The bold red ensemble was offset with familiar black accessories consisting of the Grace Han Love Letter Small Top Handle Bag and Ralph Lauren Collection Suede High Heel Boots.
Kate completed the look with her Spells of Love Alia Hoop Earrings.
During the visit to Cardiff Castle, the Duke and Duchess joined students from Cardiff University for some marshmallow toasting, a Secret Santa exchange and to hear how their mental health has been during this challenging year.
They then hopped back on the Royal Train for an express journey to Bath. William and Kate visited the Cleeve Court Care Home to pay tribute to the efforts of care staff across the country, hearing from staff about their experiences of providing care and helping residents stay connected to their loved ones throughout the pandemic.
Kate wore her Amaia Reusable Cotton Face Mask in Liberty Print during the visit.
The next stop for the Duke and Duchess on the Royal Train tour was the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading.

Kate coordinated her outfit with the red Emilia Wickstead Tartan Face Mask, featuring the same print as her skirt and scarf seen earlier today.
The final stop for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will be Windsor Castle where they will join The Queen and members of the Royal Family to welcome a number of local volunteers and key workers.

The Ralph Lauren suede boots remained on from earlier in the day.
Kate opted to carry a minaudière, bringing back the black velvet box clutch by Alexander McQueen.
First spotted at last year's Festival of Remembrance, the custom clutch combines the body of the designer's Beetle Box clutch and the jewel clasp seen on the Mini Crystal-Embellished Leather Bag.
The Cornelia James 'Alice' Merino Wool Gloves were also worn again.
The Duchess completed the yuletide look with Queen Elizabeth II's diamond orbital teardrop earrings - believed to be on permanent loan from Her Majesty.
I'll conclude with a photo of The Queen looking particularly festive in red.

The Duchess combated the chilly Scottish weather in her teal blue Catherine Walker coat.
The bespoke garment was first seen during the 2018 Scandinavian royal visit, and later worn for the 2019 Sunday Service. Today Kate contrasted the coat with black accessories. She wore black leather gloves and carried a new clutch bag by Strathberry. It is the Scottish brand's 'Multrees' Chain Wallet in embossed croc black ($335).
Completing the look were her Sapphire & Diamond Oval Drop Earrings, and a new Amaia reusable cotton face mask in Blue Emma & Georgina print.
