The Princess of Wales sparked a fan frenzy when she donned a stunning red ensemble at her Together at Christmas Carol service at Westminster Abbey on Friday night. Her husband joined the 42-year-old Prince William and their three children alongside 1,600 people at the Church.
Tartan skirts are a timeless classic that was once loved by the late Queen Elizabeth, and many believed it was due to her love and fondness for Scotland and the Highlands. Many members of the Royal Family favour the design and seem to have worn it for hundreds of years.
But now, it appears that high fashion is having another highland fling. Tartan is back, and not just on the red carpet and the runway; it seems to be everywhere.
This season, we have seen it creep more into Highstreet looks, which many are now picking up on. However, it seems that Kate’s was already a staple in her closet, as she was spotted in the garments in 2019 and 2020.
It has been reported that it was created by luxury designer Emilia Wicksteed, and the Princess has worn a selection of her outwear over the years. However, they come with a whopping price tag, with her designs retailing at £1,300.
