Kate Middleton Zara leopard skirt: How to buy Thrifty Kate’s affordable outfit

Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, 38, is the future Queen Consort of Britain and has her pick of luxury labels. However, the Duchess often opts for affordable items and yesterday she wowed fans in Cardiff and Birmingham by wearing a £9.99 skirt from high street shop Zara.

Kate paired the midi-length leopard print skirt with a simple black polo neck and high heel boots.

The Duchess is known to prompt flurries of sales every time she steps out in a new outfit.

Yesterday was no exception as the pleated Zara skirt she wore sold out online within hours.

You can check the Zara online store (zara.com/uk) for similar skirts and to see if it comes back into stock.

To stay warm Kate wore a gorgeous camel coat by designer Massimo Dutti.

The £349 tailored coat also sold out soon after Kate was snapped wearing it.

While royal fans couldn’t get enough of Kate’s ensemble there was an important point to yesterday’s visits.

The mini-tour marked the launch of Kate’s ‘5 big questions on the under 5s’ survey which aims to spark a national conversation about the early years of child development.

Kate is a huge advocate of early years education and much of her charitable work focuses on supporting young children and families.

The Duchess hopes the new survey, which contains five short questions to be put to under five-year-olds, will help bring about lasting change for generations to come.

During the 24 hour tour, Kate visited Birmingham, London, Cardiff and Surrey.

In Cardiff, the mother-of-three delighted chatted to children, parents and staff at the Ely and Careau Children’s Centre.

Later she visited a women’s prison in Surrey.

Wednesday’s engagements came just days after Kate and Prince William hosted their first-ever Buckingham Palace reception.

The Queen put the future King and Queen consort in charge of the event to mark the UK-Africa Investment Summit, while she remained in Sandringham for her winter break.

Kate wore a stunning red sequinned evening gown at the state reception by British designer Needle & Thread which cost £410.

The Duchess looked gracious and she and William greeted business leaders and delegates from Africa and the UK.

Last week Kate wowed fans in another Zara number when she and Prince William visited Bradford for the day.

The black and white dress was on sale for £15.99 at Zara and sold out within hours after Kate was seen wearing it.

Kate and William have been busy with several royal engagements in the days since Prince Harry and Meghan announced they were stepping down as senior royals.

The couple are expected to take on more responsibilities in Meghan and Harry’s absence.
