​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.

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.

Kate looks so effortlessly regal in this glorious red and what a statement this dashing McQueen coat makes. She carries that length so well on a slender figure and it's such fun that the old tartan skirt matches so well. Love the matching scarf. And love seeing her hair in semi updo with crinkly waves - they can do all that on board train?! Just stunning.

I believe it is a custom piece, went on the designer site and only associates is the face mash in the same material. My observation Kate had the Red coat made with a longer length for this beautiful red tartan skirt, so all these items where order a very long time ago. Kate has a long sleeve top in the red tartan that she wore for the Queens Pre-Christmas luncheon in December, 2019 that we only saw her wear it in a car ♥️.

Thanks for the suggestion Emily! In this photo (see link below) you can see the top of the gloves and there is not gold button so unfortunately that rules out the pair by Mulberry:
