Kate Middleton steps out in decade-old boots

It’s no secret that when it comes to fashion Kate Middleton is a big fan of recycling outfits.

The Duchess of Cambridge may have a castle-sized wardrobe budget, but that doesn’t stop her from wearing her favourite getups multiple times and sporting the odd dress from Zara or Topshop.  

On Wednesday, while the world met Harry and Meghan's new baby, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, for the first time, the stylish royal made a low-key appearance to visit the Menai Bridge Scouts, at Newborough Beach in North Wales with husband Prince William.

The tassel boots, which hail from British designer Penelope Chilvers are made from Spanish vegetable-dyed leather, and are a style the Duchess has had on rotation in her wardrobe for over fourteen years.

October 2018, was the last time she was spotted wearing the boots, wearing them with Zara jeans to the Sayers Croft Forest School and Wildlife Garden, her first solo engagement since giving birth to Prince Louis.

In 2004, Kate was spotted wearing the same boots while modelling for the British clothing brand Really Wild Clothing during the Game Fair event at Blenheim Palace.

A year later, the Duchess rocked the same leather kicks at the Gatcombe Park Festival of British Eventing on August 6, 2005.

Since then, Kate has sported her favourite footwear, which she usually pairs with her brown jeans and Khaki jacket, during international tours - like her trip to Bhutan with hubby Prince Will in 2016 - and her visit to an Arlingham farm in 2017.
