Pregnant Duchess of Cambridge recycles hot pink Mulberry coat for Coventry trip with Prince William
This morning, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrived in Coventry for their first joint royal engagement of 2018.
The couple kick-started the day with a visit to the ruins of Coventry Cathedral, which was bombed during World War Two.

The royals were then greeted by members of the choir before having a cup of tea with volunteers at the Rising Cafe, a social enterprise which supports members of the public overcoming drug and alcohol addictions.
Later this afternoon, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will then be given a tour of Coventry University’s science and health building before opening the institution’s £59 million new facility.
The royal couple will learn about the innovative training centre which teaches nurses, wives and paramedics about every stage of a patient’s medical journey from their hospital stay to rehabilitation.
And to mark the couple’s first royal engagement of 2018, Kate Middleton recycled one of her go-to Mulberry coats.
The Duchess of Cambridge first donned the fuchsia-hued number during a visit to New York back in December 2014 while five months pregnant with Princess Charlotte. She was last photographed in the £1,500 garment the following March, before going on maternity leave.
Today, Kate chose to accessorise the look with a pair of suede black block heel pumps and a co-ordinating clutch.
The royal couple’s latest royal engagement is in the run-up to their four-day tour of Sweden and Norway which kick-starts on Tuesday 30th January.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will be welcomed by King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden to a special luncheon at the Royal Palace of Stockholm before joining King Harald V and Queen Sonja in Norway at Oslo’s Royal Palace for an official dinner.
As this will be the royal couple’s first tour of Sweden and Norway, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will meet with as many members of the public as possible ranging from leaders in the mental health sector to those in business, government and creative industries.
