Kate Middleton paid a visit to the Wellbeing Garden at Colchester Hospital on Wednesday in Colchester, England. The British royal family member, who has taken on more public royal engagements since completing her chemotherapy treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer in September, spent some time speaking with staff and planting flowers in the garden. For the special outing, she opted for a select few designers for her business casual attire.

Ralph Lauren, a designer also worn by Middleton’s sister-in-law, Meghan Markle, has several pieces featured in Kate Middleton’s royal wardrobe. Last April, Middleton wore the “Schmitt” herringbone tweed blazer in olive courtesy of the American designer.
The Princess of Wales wore the jacket during her joint visit to the Ardura Community Forest in Ardura, Isle of Mull, Scotland, alongside her husband, Prince William. The trip coincided with the royal couple’s 14th wedding anniversary.
