There's no one better to take fashion inspiration from than the Princess of Wales, especially when it comes to winter wear. Known for her timelessly chic ensembles, Kate Middleton is nothing if not a fan of a stylish coat - and notably, she's opted for a red number many times through the years.
Though, unless you have the royal budget to bag Alexander McQueen pieces - lucky you, if you can - you'll have to settle for a spot-on alternative, rather than the real thing. That's where Boden comes in. A brand the Duchess has worn before, specifically when she sported the Red 'Lena' look back in 2018, Boden has plenty of outwear for you to peruse, and we're obsessed with this piece in Kate's go-to red shade.
Right now, you can snag Kate's style for less, as this stunning red coat lands on sale with a mega £55 off. But you'll need to hurry if you want to catch this bargain, it won't hang around.
