After a day of wearing a guest editor’s hat, Kate Middleton is back to her rounds of Royal engagements and visits with hubby in hand. Marking their first joint engagement of 2016, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge flew into Royal Air Force Valley in Anglesey (aka their former home) via helicopters to attend the Search and Rescue Force Disbandment Parade, an event to commemorate the RAF SAR Force’s service and their achievements. On hand to support Prince William (FYI he was the former Flight Lieutenant Wales on the force), Kate chose to recycle a few of her favourite pieces to remind us that she doesn’t always have new clothes for every occasion. Digging up an oldie (but a goodie), the Duchess brightened up the scene with her red L.K. Bennett coat that features a high collar and a belt. While in the past she has worn this topper with her enviously lush hair down, today she puts a new twist on it by opting for a sleek knotted ponytail and topping it another clear fave: her brown Lock & Co brown hat. Sticking to the same colour palette in the accessories department, she finished off her outfit with brown gloves, clutch and suede heels.
