Kate Middleton just walked in the right eco-friendly coat while visiting Wales on St David’s Day – and meaning about her house move with Prince William.
The Duchess accessorised plain and simple with a set of delicate gold hoops, that are by independent Welsh jewellery Hayley Johnson, whose brand is known as Spells of affection.
It’s a tradition for Kate to aid local designers on official outings, so it’s telling that they used these hoops on St David’s Day, during Wales.
And can turn out it’s not the very first time she’s worn the designer either. Hayley told us, ‘I arrived at to her stylist not long ago not expecting any response. Every item the Duchess has worn has offered out instantly, it’s been so amazing to achieve a lot of customers from countries I’d haven’t expected would have come across my small brand. I’m incredibly grateful and honoured.’
