Dress like Kate for less

As the Princess of Wales returns to royal duties with a series of swoon-worthy outfits, here's how to recreate her look

- 

Since returning to public life after cancer treatment last year, Catherine, Princess of Wales, has thrown herself back into her royal duties - showcasing an array of stellar outfits in the process.

Her summer style has been a masterclass in on-trend elegance, and she's relied on the dresses, hats, shoes and jewellery already in her wardrobe. Yet the 43-year-old's look has subtly changed in other ways. “Since becoming Princess of Wales, she’s gone from wearing print and lace detail to colour-blocking,” says fashion writer Simon Glazin, whose TikTok account @theverysimong is followed by 40,300 royal style watchers.

“The Queen was almost always seen in one colour, and looking at the queens of Europe, they all like to wear one colour at a time. For Kate, it signifies that she is very much stepping into her queen era.”

But her picks aren't just for royals. Here's our guide to channelling Kate's style on the high street - and nabbing some bargains in the sales too.
