The outfit came to £414 in total.

She wore the fit whilst visiting a children's hospice based in Sully, which has been supporting the community since 1999.

The facility supports families in Wales to enable children with life-shortening conditions to live fulfilling lives.

It comes two weeks after Princess Kate announced she was "in remission" from cancer after she undertook her first solo engagement in more than a year at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London.

During her visit, the Princess spent time with children receiving care and their families at the hospice.

Kate also joined a "stay and play" session, which sees the children enjoy meaningful play and activities alongside their care as well as meeting with bereaved families supported by Tŷ Hafan.
