Kate Middleton wore a 17 year old pair of gloves on St David’s Day that had a sweet and sentimental meaning. The princess, 41, attended a parade at Combermere Barracks, Windsor, alongside husband Prince William, 40, on Wednesday to celebrate the Patron Saint of Wales.

Arriving at the Barracks, the Princess of Wales sported a stunning Alexander McQueen red coat - a colour associated with the Welsh Dragon - and a glamorous black fascinator-style hat which she paired with a pair of black gloves.

Eagle-eyed royal fans spotted that Kate had been seen in the gloves before, 17 years earlier, when she first wore them as William graduated as an army officer at his passing out parade at Sandhurst in 2006.

One fan @foundbybojana tweeted: "The Princess of Wales visited the 1st Battalion Welsh Guards to attend the St David’s Day Parade in Windsor. "As confirmed by the designer Evica Milovanov-Penezic she wore one of their designs.They were first seen on Kate Middleton in 2006." The fashion expert added: "According to the designer, Kate owns over 10 Evica gloves and purchased them in a small London shop. “Kate's gloves were part of the riselle embroidery collection."
