Aside from royal duties, Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, managed to find time to pop into the Cheltenham races last week. For the occasion she wore a lovely wool coat — on the pinker side of beige — by high street retailer Joseph.

She paired the coat with her now oft-worn brown 'Betty Boob' style hat by Lock & Co and her favourite Stuart Weitzman knee high boots that I could really do without. It may just be me.

The coat was hellava short, for a pregnant Kate, it needs to be said. As someone who has tracked every outfit she has ever worn, I can tell you this is very unusual. But I was relieved to see that there was a dress underneath the coat. Phew. You can spot it in the image of her getting out of the car. Good girl. I like to see a risk every now and again. And I adore how the collar is half turned up. Fun.
