She wore her hair down in soft face-framing waves, and sported a Holland Cooper double-breasted blazer, brown wide-leg trousers from Jigsaw (the fashion brand where she once worked in 2006, after graduating from the University of St. Andrews), and Emmy London heels.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-fkZDUs kHRAYC asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-eEeytc eRSvCP asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-zEXFr koTknX responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cIfZLr fHIkTW asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Image may contain Adult Person Dimples Face Head Happy Smile Photography Portrait Clothing and Coat\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-eNxvmU cfBbTk responsive-image__image\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/gettyimages-2258477286.jpg\" title=\"gettyimages-2258477286\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"CaptionWrapper-jYrTxZ jNLyNY caption AssetEmbedCaption-fyuOdR iTyhpv asset-embed__caption\" data-testid=\"caption-wrapper\"><span class=\"BaseWrap-sc-gzmcOU BaseText-eqOrNE CaptionCredit-eowWKH deqABF mdLVF gxwcqg caption__credit\">Photo: Getty Images<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"GridWrapper-cFSKbf cxzKYj grid grid-margins grid-items-2 ArticlePageChunksGrid-hkPQhP lnoYVP grid-layout--adrail narrow wide-adrail\" data-journey-hook=\"grid-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"GridItem-beYvyV kCPYUp grid--item grid-layout__content\">\n<div class=\"BodyWrapper-kzyFNv nCpFP body body__container article__body\" data-journey-hook=\"client-content\" data-testid=\"BodyWrapper\">\n<div class=\"body__inner-container\">\n<p>Later in the day, she continued her official duties with a stop at a local rugby league club, Wakefield Trinity, where she chatted with teenage players.

For the event, the Princess wore a Really Wild Baker Boy hat, a Dubarry of Ireland olive jacket, and Berghaus walking shoes. (The nature walk also perfectly aligns with Kate\u2019s recent video message about the healing power of nature.) Multiple hair and outfit changes?
