Catherine, Princess of Wales, was in high spirits today as she stepped out for a meaningful day of engagements in South Wales. With the announcement of her new patronage for Tŷ Hafan, a children’s hospice dedicated to supporting families with life-shortening conditions, the Princess began her visit by bringing warmth and kindness to those in need. She then made her way to Corgi, a family-run textiles manufacturer specializing in high-quality socks and knitwear.
For the occasion, Catherine opted for a chic black-and-white houndstooth dress from Zara, proving once again that she can seamlessly mix high street with high fashion. The belted silhouette, bow-adorned neckline, and pleated skirt gave the look a touch of retro charm, while still feeling undeniably polished.
Now, if there’s one thing Catherine is known for, it’s her meticulous approach to colour coordination, so I expected a classic black coat to match the dress, but she surprised me by reaching for her bespoke Chris Kerr ivory wool coat instead. A piece she last wore to the Together At Christmas Carol Service in 2023, the coat added a soft, elegant contrast to her monochrome ensemble.


Classic black Russell & Bromley Blade 100 pumps grounding the outfit. But the real standout detail? Her choice of Spells of Love Alia earrings—a subtle yet meaningful nod to Wales, as the brand hails from the very country she was visiting.
With effortless sophistication and a touch of playfulness, Catherine once again demonstrated her signature style—thoughtful, timeless, and always perfectly put together.
