When Princess Kate arrived in Scotland for a day out with Prince William on January 20, royal fashion fans initially assumed her new blue tartan coat was an Alexander McQueen style or a similar designer piece. But it was later confirmed that the princess herself collaborated on the design of her Chris Kerr coat, created with a special tartan she worked with heritage brand Johnstons of Elgin to create.
It was an interesting announcement from Kensington Palace, especially in the wake of last year's media storm surrounding Princess Kate's wardrobe. While a palace source later insisted the comments didn't come from Kate herself, the insider originally claimed that the royal's team would no longer be commenting on her clothing and suggested that the focus should only be on her work.
