The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge travelled to Cowes on the Isle of Wight on Thursday to host the annual King’s Cup regatta, which raised awareness and funds for numerous royal patronages.
Although Kate arrived in a trendy striped top, which was on sale for £81, the sport-loving duchess quickly changed for the sailing race, which put her head-to-head against her husband.
Sporting an official King’s Cup grey waterproof jacket and blue cap, the 37-year-old also donned a pair of black shorts.
The ensemble marked the first time that the duchess had been seen in shorts since becoming a member of the Royal Family, the mum-of-three usually opting for leggings or skinny jeans for sporting events.
