Princess Kate has honoured the nation of Wales as the royal pinned on daffodils to an outfit that she last wore 18 years ago.
The Princess of Wales stepped out in a brown tweed piece during a visit to Wales with Prince William on Wednesday.
The jacket, reportedly designed by Ralph Lauren, was first worn by Kate in March 2007 at the Cheltenham Horse Racing Festival.
This marks one of her oldest fashion rewears, dating back to when she was still dating Prince William, four years before their marriage.

Shortly after Kate was photographed wearing it at Cheltenham in 2007, she and William briefly separated.
During the Wales visit, the Princess initially arrived in Pontypridd wearing a vibrant red Alexander McQueen coat, paired with a brown roll-neck jumper and check skirt by Gucci.
Royal fans have noted that the red coat was tribute to Wales, whose flag has a red dragon at its centre.
The Princess of Wales often incorporates colours from nations flags during state visits, wearing a burgundy coat dress and matching hat to match the Qatari flag during a visit in December last year.
Both the Princess and Prince William also pinned on daffodils, the national flower of Wales and a symbol affiliated with St. David's Day, in a touching tribute to the home nation

The mother-of-two later changed into the tweed jacket for their visit to Meadow Street Community Garden and Woodland.
Princess Kate is renowned for recycling her wardrobe, with some items dating back nearly two decades.
Among her longest-serving pieces are brown leather Penelope Chilvers boots purchased in 2004, which she has worn on numerous occasions including a five-hour Himalayan hike in 2016.

The recent outfit rewear comes after Kensington Palace issued a clarification regarding Princess Kate's fashion choices.
A Kensington Palace spokesperson told GB News: "Over the last week, I have received numerous questions about a story regarding The Princess of Wales’s clothing and how Kensington Palace shares information about her outfits. To clarify, the comments that appeared in the article were from me, not The Princess of Wales.
"The comments that were reported should not be directly attributed to The Princess of Wales. To be clear, there has been no change in our approach to sharing information about Her Royal Highness’s clothing."
This followed a Sunday Times article titled "Princess of Wales: Focus on my work, not my wardrobe" which sparked debate about royal fashion coverage.
