Princess of Wales Repeats Timeless Style with Trio of Chic Fedora Hats
On August 25, Kate Middleton made a stylish and heartfelt appearance as she and Prince William were spotted driving to Crathie Kirk near Balmoral Castle in Scotland. In a rare public sighting following her recent cancer treatment announcement, the Princess of Wales turned heads with a familiar and elegant fashion choice.
Kate wore the same Hicks & Brown Suffolk Fedora in dark brown that she had donned during a church visit last summer. This chic repeat not only showcases her timeless style but also evokes fond memories of past outings with Prince William and Prince Andrew.
Last summer, Kate captivated onlookers at a Sunday service at Crathie Kirk with this stylish fedora, paired with a classic brown plaid trench coat. On August 25, she revisited the look, pairing the Suffolk Fedora with a brown plaid trench coat that closely resembled her previous ensemble.
Fashion enthusiasts at Royal Fashion Police identified the coat as a design by Holland Cooper, noting its striking similarities in collar, epaulets, and gold buttons to Kate’s earlier outfit. This recent choice suggests a cherished fashion formula, as Kate also owns the Holland Cooper Full Length Marlborough Trench Coat in heather tartan and two other Suffolk Fedoras from Hicks & Brown.
Kate has previously worn the fedora in navy for a January 2020 Norfolk church outing and in olive for a rare home video celebrating her and Prince William’s tenth wedding anniversary in 2021.
