The Duchess of Cambridge traveled alone to Edinburgh on Wednesday, leaving the Duke of Cambridge at home in Norfolk with their children Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

Kate had a series of engagements in the Scottish capital, for which she wore a £440 ($613) tweed kilt by Le Kilt.

She paired it with a long forest-green coat by MaxMara, which we last saw on Christmas Day 2015 when it was being sheltered from the rain by an umbrella held by Prince William.

Did you know that Kate's official title in Scotland is the Countess of Strathearn? That’s what she was addressed as when she visited a primary school in association with the children’s mental health charity Place2Be, of which she is patron. Click link for full post from Parade.

Queen of Jewelry

Brooches, usually worn on the left shoulder, were a favourite for the royal and the Queen was believed to have over 100 in her collection. A selection that would go with an outfit were presented to her - usually three at a time - by her senior dresser and confidante Angela Kelly on special trays that once belonged to Queen Mary. The royal had a wide variety of different brooches which she often wore with her usual pearl earrings and necklace, including a spray of flowers brooch by the people and government of Australia during her Coronation tour of 1954./
