The Princess paired the coat with a navy turtleneck, a Johnstons of Elgin x Le Kilt skirt costing 1,695 USD (44.4 million dong), and Gianvito Rossi suede boots during her visit to the National Curling Academy on 21/1. According to the Telegraph, she conceived the design, then collaborated with the Johnstons of Elgin brand and tailor Chris Kerr to create the tartan pattern, which was then fashioned into a long coat with a double-breasted front and an elasticated waist.

Princess Kate Middleton often uses outfits and jewelry to show support for the places she visits. Her choice to wear a custom-designed and tailored coat not only celebrated the material but also British tailoring craftsmanship.

After visiting the academy, she also went to Radical Weavers, a weaving mill and charity in Stirling dedicated to promoting tartan weaving. The Princess received a warm welcome from the public. As she was about to get into her car, she unexpectedly ran back to the waving crowd, shook hands with fans, and accepted a bouquet of red carnations.

According to People, images of Princess Kate running in her boots went viral on social media. Viewers expressed delight at seeing her rare, spontaneous moment. Some said they were moved by the Princess's enthusiasm.

The Princess of Wales is known for her friendly approach during public engagements. In 1/2025, as her motorcade was leaving the Corgi knitwear factory in Ammanford, she requested the car to stop to greet a three-year-old girl by the roadside.
