Kate Middleton’s casual farm shop outfits pay tribute to her royal hobbies

It’s back in black.

Kate Middleton surprised fans on Monday when The Sun released a video of the Queen visiting a farm shop with husband Prince William in Windsor over the weekend – and conspiracy theories about her health aside, her casual look also got fans talking.

The Princess of Wales, 42 – who has been recovering from abdominal surgery since January – was spotted for the first time in 2024 at the store, and the mother-of-three wore a loose black sweater and leggings as she strolled next to the Prince of Wales. 41.

It turns out that her sweatshirt is actually a men’s England rugby style and features the pink team crest on the chest, an orange zipper and orange trim on the sleeves.

The hoodie nods to one of her favorite sports given that the royal family acts as sponsor of the Rugby Football Union and the Rugby Football League – and the Princess of Wales could have been heading home to watch England’s big match against France on Saturday night.

As for the rest of her look, the princess wore black trousers with tights pulled over them and the same pair of black Adidas UltraBoost 20 sneakers that she wore in a video after becoming a patron of rugby union in 2022.

For more Page Six style…

As for the Prince of Wales, he also wore a casual look, wearing a baseball cap and jeans with a navy blue coat.

Although photos of the Princess riding in the car with her mother and Prince William have been published (along with the much-discussed Mother’s Day Photoshop fail), Saturday’s outing was the first time the Princess has been seen in public since Christmas 2023.

Many wild conspiracy theories about her health and whereabouts have spread online in recent weeks, but with Easter just around the corner, the princess is expected to return to work soon enough.
