Princess Catherine Makes a Statement in a Familiar Hat During Surprise Appearance
The Princess of Wales seems to have the same fedora in at least three different colors
Kate Middleton’s Sunday style came complete with a royal repeat
On Aug. 25, the Princess of Wales, 42, made a surprise appearance when she was photographed driving to church at Crathie Kirk near Balmoral Castle in Scotland with her husband, Prince William. It was a rare sighting of the Princess of Wales, who has attended two public events this year after announcing in March that she is undergoing treatment for cancer — and she appeared to wear the same hat that she sported to Crathie Kirk last summer.
In photos snapped of her sitting in the passenger’s seat as her husband drove, Princess Kate wore a fedora identified as Hicks & Brown’s Suffolk Fedora in dark brown. The Princess of Wales paired the feathered hat with a brown plaid coat, her hair down and dangling earrings, making a similar fashion statement to her drive to church in August 2023 alongside Prince William and Prince Andrew.
