Princess Kate debuts new hairstyle as she joins toddlers on fun-filled play session

For today's visit, Kate wore a Zara red textured double-breasted blazer which she has worn a few times previously, including a royal trip to Denmark and the Euro Football Championship in 2021.

Its description says: "Long sleeve blazer with a lapel collar. Featuring pronounced shoulders, front flap pockets and double-breasted metal button fastening at the front."

Although the jacket is sold out on the Zara website, royal fans can purchase the garment on eBay for £50.

Kate wore a plain beige top underneath the blazer and LK Bennett "Frieda" black trousers, which looked very smart on the princess.

The £83 trousers have the following description: "Classic tailoring has longevity and versatility, and our Frieda trousers make for stylish workwear - whether you wear them with the matching jacket or contrasting separates.

"Crafted from black stretch crepe, they follow a slim-cut cigarette shape and have classic tailoring details.

"Wear them with the matching jacket and a printed blouse or light knit for a seasonal, pulled-together look."

The Princess of Wales also opted against wearing high heels today and instead wore Boden Pointed Black Suede Ballet Flats, which cost £91.

For accessories, Kate donned Spells of Love Medium Twist Hoops in Gold, which are worth £60.

One royal fan posted on Instagram: "I think she’s deliberately steering towards single colour palette like the late Queen did, in her own way though and more modern.

"I think it’s nice, she seems to be reserving the wow factor for evening dresses."

Another commented: "Flats and a bun are relatable to me. And these are repeats. I like this blazer.

"I don't think her trouser suits are boring. I think they've all looked chic."

However, one royal watcher said: "I'm just over the blazers now. I'm waiting for the upcoming presidential visit and state banquet."
