Attending the Wales vs. England Six Nations rugby match in Cardiff alongside Prince William on Saturday, the Princess of Wales sported a familiar red and white patterned wool coat — last seen as a maternity look. The distinctive houndstooth design, which features a double-breasted silhouette and oversized red buttons by Catherine Walker & Co., was previously worn by Kate while pregnant with Prince Louis during a tour of Scandinavia in 2018. Fast forward five years later, and Kate styled it with black opaque tights, black suede ankle boots and a glimpse of a cozy turtleneck sweater when she took to the stands of the Principality Stadium alongside her husband.

Kate wore a smart teal coat to the same royal tour of Scandinavia in 2018 while pregnant. Another Catherine Walker & Co. design, the coat with its chic funnel neckline re-emerged the following year at a service Kate attended at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham. Kate wore it again in 2020 when the couple visited Edinburgh in Scotland to meet frontline workers during the coronavirus pandemic. The coat had clearly been tailored from its original size and shape. Kate Middleton wearing the same teal Catherine & Walker coat during and post pregnancy.

However, Kate's jewelry choice definitely put her firmly on England's side, as she chose a silver rose brooch pinned to the retro coat, in support of England. The brooch was first worn by Kate in a video supporting the women's rugby team in October. How Kate Middleton's Power Dressing Moment 'Marks a New Era in Her Royal Life' Despite cheering for different teams — Kate took over as patron of the Rugby Football Union in early 2022 while William has been patron of the Welsh Rugby Union since 2016 — the couple united at a pre-match reception to officially open a new suite at the stadium, meeting injured players receiving assistance from the Welsh Rugby Charitable Trust.
