On Thursday, the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay—the titles used by the Prince and Princess of Wales in Scotland—visited Rothesay on the Isle of Bute, marking their first official visit to the Scottish island.​

The visit focused on community, volunteering and the environment. Their first engagement was at Bute Shinty and Amateur Athletic Club, where they met local players and volunteers and tried their hand at the traditional Scottish sport of shinty.

They then travelled to Ettrick Bay, where they joined volunteers from Beachwatch Bute for a beach clean-up, helping to remove litter from the shoreline.

Their final stop was the Anchor Tavern, a community-owned pub and hub in nearby Bannatyne, where they met people involved in the local community.

After leaving the pub, the royal couple did a walkabout to greet the locals that had gathered outside.

For the visit, the Princess embraced a practical autumnal look, centred around a new Burberry trench coat in dark brown.

It appears to be crafted from cotton gabardine, although the exact style remains unidentified and does not appear in Burberry’s current collection. The closest silhouette is the brand’s long 'Kensington' trench, available in black, beige and navy. 

There is also a cashmere version of the Kensington, which more closely matches the length of Kate’s coat.

Beneath it, she wore a new Really Wild Cashmere Ribbed Rollneck Sweater in Loden ​ - a style she also owns in black.

Kate paired it with her Holland Cooper’s ‘Jodhpur’ Jeans in Chocolate.

A statement Maison Hotel 'Guadalupe' belt added contrast to the tonal ensemble. It's designed in rich jacquard with an intricate floral motif in a brown leather base and finished with a brushed silver buckle.
