Yesterday, the royal mother-of-three joined Prince William, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall on a rare joint engagement in Loughborough, England.

Braving the nation's threat of snow, Kate wrapped up warm in a military-inspired co-ord by go-to designer Alexander McQueen.

A pair of Ralph Lauren boots, black gloves and a dainty bag - also by the designer - completed the winning ensemble.
