Prince William and Kate return to royal duties with visit to Wales

Kate’s coat is from the British brand LK Bennett and is the Spencer Red Recycled Wool Blend Snaffle-Detail Coat.
Some royal fans suggest the coat colour and name is a nod to the former Princess of Wales, Princess Diana.
She also wore red during her first official visit to Wales when she became the Princess of Wales back in 1981.
Kate’s coat, on the other hand, is described as a “statement with heritage-inspired snaffle detail”.

During the Royal Train Tour in December 2020, she wore it twice and then before that in October whilst in London.
