Kate, Princess of Wales and Prince William have made their first joint official visit to Cornwall today. The royal couple is also titled the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and this is the first time they have visited Cornwall together since taking on the new title. For the occasion, Kate wore what first looked to be an old old brown Hobbs coat which she debuted back in 2012 but royal fashion fans believe the coat is a newer version of one she debuted 11 years ago.
Kateās coat is believed to be from the British brand Hobbs London and is a newer version of the 2011 Celeste Coat in Chestnut Brown.
The coat is knee-length in a warm brown with a slight a-line skirt. It is made from a chestnut brown wool fabric.
The original Hobbs Celeste coat formed part of the labelās winter 2011 collection and it came with three leather belts ā one around the waist and two around the cuffs. The original belts also had press studs while the belts on Kateās coat today have buckles.
Other differences that were noticed were the pocket details; the original Celeste coat had pockets that were made from two semi-circles sew together down the side seams of the coat. The coat Kate wore today only has one semi-circle on each side.
It appears Kate has purchased three new belts or has had them sourced and made specially to give her coat a unique look. In 2011, the piece retailed for Ā£369.

Underneath the coat, the Princess had chosen a deep pink or red knitted dress which had a roll neck, and long sleeves. The brand of the dress is not yet known.
She completed the look with her brown pair of suede Gianvito Rossi knee-high boots.
These boots have been a staple shoe in Kateās wardrobe this winter. She wore them on Christmas Day with a khaki long coat, and again when visiting Leeds last month.
Gianvito Rossi has confirmed it made the boots for the Princess, and they are believed to be a bespoke or custom creation.

William made his first official visit to Cornwall since taking on the Duke title back in November.
During this visit he met staff, volunteers and young people at Newquay Orchard, which offers environmental education, employability training and community events.
William and Kate took on the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall title after the death of Queen Elizabeth II, which saw King Charles ascend the throne and relinquish his former title as Duke of Cornwall.
William and Kate are now known officially as the Prince and Princess of Wales, and Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge.
