Looking sophisticated in torrential rain isn’t easy and yet the Princess of Wales has had to master this over the years. She tends to only step out in her best waterproof jackets when she’s doing an activity-focused engagement and the rest of the time she goes for the slightly chicer option of an umbrella to complement her polished outfits.
Kate has used multiple different designs over the years but one thing they all have in common is their size. Her umbrellas are seriously roomy, providing enough coverage for at least two people and making sure that every inch of her is covered. Once you’ve noticed this, you can’t unsee it and the Princess’s go-to in recent years has been a plain black umbrella with a wooden handle.
