Kate Middleton's 'beautiful' gingham blouse 'perfect for summer' is back in stock
Princess of Wales Kate Middleton never fails to impress with her public wardrobe choices, particularly with her love of timeless prints like polka dots and florals. Behind the scenes, her more off-duty attire is equally as chic if not a little more casual, including a gingham blouse that's recently seen a restock in time for summer getaways.
The royal was seen wearing a gorgeous pink gingham button up shirt in a video posted on the Kensington Royal Instagram back in 2022. Princess Catherine could be seen decorating cakes with her children wearing the Brora Cotton Gingham Chelsea Collar Blouse, which comes in at £129.
Naturally, immediately after being spied on the 43-year-old, it sold out, but is back in stock in all sizes from 6-18. And due to its classic print, it is still as trendy today as it was three years ago - and will remain so for years to come.
The blouse comes in a peony pink gingham print in a seersucker fabric, which is ideal for those who want low maintenance pieces in their wardrobe as it requires little ironing. It has a 'flattering' Chelsea collar - a silhouette we've seen plenty of in 2025 - with frill detailing and a half sleeve, which was a great choice for Kate's baking activity, but is also great for the warmer weather.
For those looking for a more affordable alternative or slightly different colourway, Nobody's Child has this Gingham Birdie Blouse for £59. It comes in pink or green gingham, as well as a plain white option, with long balloon sleeves and scalloped edging on the collar.

Product Description
Elsewhere, Joanie is offering this Marsha Scallop Collar Blouse in plain pink with a contrast trim. It's usually £59, but shoppers can currently use the code SUMMER40 to save on the piece, taking it down to £35.40.
The Brora Gingham Blouse has earned a number of five star reviews from shoppers, some loving it so much that they've bought multiple variations of it. One said: 'Both pretty and smart. Beautifully made and comfortable to wear. So versatile that I have bought another one in blue.'
Someone else shared: 'Nice fit, good cotton for English weather,' with a third commenting: 'I've rarely gotten more compliments than I have while wearing this lovely blouse.'
One shopper mentioned that they had to 'size up' due to the cut of the fabric. They said: 'Not a biggie, but beware if it's something that bothers you - the sizing is made for a more 'straight silhouette', so I had to size up to a 14 because it clung to my hips and pooled at the back in a weird way and then I had to use a pin to gather the excess material around the waist.'
Someone else left a glowing review which reads: 'I love the Cotton Gingham Chelsea Collar Blouse, I own two. Beautiful design and colour, great quality fabric and sewing work. It's not too long or too short, you can tuck it in or leave it out. V cut is not too low, it's just right. Perfect for spring and summer.'
Another brand that Kate is a fan of is Monica Vinader, often accessorising her looks with their jewellery pieces. One specific piece that has been sported by Princess Kate on several occasions, including during a visit to Copenhagen in 2022 and in London in 2023, is the Nura Pearl Necklace. This necklace, crafted from 18k gold vermeil and pearl, has seen a reduction of £19, bringing the price down to £110 in the summer sale.
For shoppers looking to steal the Princess of Wales' style with her Brora blouse, it's available here for £129.

Roman summer dress 'so comfortable' shoppers 'can't resist' buying all colours
The Roman Cotton Broderie Tiered Smock Dress is available in sizes 10 to 20 and comes in four colours - black, khaki, turquoise and pink. Roman shoppers are going wild for a dress that's not only enhancing their comfort and confidence but also nailing this season's broderie trend. The retailer's Cotton Broderie Tiered Smock Dress is priced at £40, but with the current discount already applied, fashion fans can snag it for just £30, saving them 25%. Customers have a choice of four stylish colours - classic black and khaki, as well as eye-catching turquoise and pink for those looking to add a splash of colour to their wardrobe. Available in sizes 10 to 20, this adaptable frock is ideal for teaming up with sandals during the heatwave. Made from 100 per cent breathable cotton, the dress is crafted to keep the wearer cool. It boasts three quarter length sleeves and a comfy smock style, reports the Manchester Evening News. And customers needn't worry about the smock shape being unflattering, as reviews confirm it has a 'lovely shape' and is 'very flattering'. It's even been hailed as a 'fabulous dress for holidays', with additional compliments for being 'lined'. A glowing five-star review states: "Such a pretty feminine little dress: perfect for hiding lumps and bumps." Another happy customer raved about the pink version, declaring: "Fabulous colour and hides all your bumps." Shop the Roman dress Product Description Some customers have said they have bought several colours to round out their collection. One delighted shopper said: "Love love love these dresses, so pretty and comfortable to wear, true to size, I now own five of these in different, colours can't resist them." A newcomer to Roman was so thrilled with their buy that they headed straight back to the site for additional purchases. They said: "Really lovely dress, bought as a last minute extra dress for long trip and wore it over and over again, never bought from Roman before but just ordered another couple of dresses on the strength of this purchase." But one buyer knocked off a star from their rating as they felt the frock was too short. They wrote: "Nice style dress, looks nice with the ties left loose, however doesn't sit right on the neck if tied. Nice shade of Khaki. I would prefer a few inches longer though at 5ft 1ins it sits on my knees." For shoppers hunting for a lengthier smock frock with comparable styling, Nobody's Child stocks the Green Broderie Anglaise Tiered Lee Midi Dress, presently slashed by 50% to £48 from £95. Another alternative can be found at Debenhams - the Warehouse Broderie Drawstring Waist Midi Dress, coming in at £65. Buyers have voiced their adoration for the garment, revealing they 'got so many compliments' and dubbing it the 'best summer dress out there'. Yet it's been recommended that prospective purchasers 'should go down a size'. One critic praised the Roman frock 's adaptability, emphasising its year-round wearability. The review gushes: "Fab dress, true to size. I love it as it doesn't cling and its a good length. It's lined too so will go through the seasons with sandals then leggings and boots." This makes the bargain price of £30 even more tempting, given the array of occasions you can don this number. If you're prioritising summer style, this could well be the most adaptable addition to your wardrobe this season. Another thrilled shopper shared: "Love it put away for my holidays it's nice and cool really nice length looks great with my wedge sandals can't wait to wear it." Meanwhile, another customer enthused: "I have already bought this dress in black and loved it so much I wanted it in an another colourway."

Clarkson's Farm star Kaleb Cooper issues desperate plea after shocking theft at his home
Clarkson's Farm star, Kaleb Cooper, asked his followers for help after revealing he had been the victim of a bizarre theft of his tractor and his door knocker at home Clarkson's Farm star, Kaleb Cooper, has issued a desperate plea for help after revealing that someone has nicked his tractor. The dad-of-two, 27, who has a huge following from the Amazon show, was gobsmacked as he told fans his prized possession has been stolen – as well as his front door knocker. Taking to social media, asking for information regarding the theft, Kaleb shared a screenshot from his Home & Country Fencing Facebook page, which read: "Unfortunately we have had one of our tractors and post knockers stolen over night near Fulmer Lane, Gerrards Cross. "John Deere 6630 reg is OU11ARF and a protech p200s series number 10698. If anyone has any information please give me a call. There has been silver 4X4 burnt out just down the road which is possibly related." It comes after the star asked "What is going on in the world?" when he was forced to call 999 after two Chinese lanterns were wilfully released outside his farm "in the middle of a heatwave". Victoria Beckham makes feelings on Brooklyn feud clear with telling social media move Lauren James' salary compared to Chelsea star brother's after nail-biting Euro 2025 win Alongside the post on FaceBook showing his tractor and door knocker, Kaleb wrote: "My post knocker was stolen last night. As well as the John Deere tractor. Can we make this as hot as possible! What on earth is going with England at the moment?" The farmhand-turned-celebrity was fuming again earlier this month on Instagram as he shared his shock over the sight of lanterns drifting skyward near Chipping Norton. Upping the drama, he asked: "What is going on his the world? I've just called this in to 999 but someone has felt the need to light two Chinese lanterns in and around the Chipping Norton area. They are currently floating over the area. I'm looking at both of them as we speak right now. Shedding light on the reckless act amid drought-like conditions, he commented: "But what goes through someone's mind when they decide to light two Chinese lanterns in the middle of a heatwave. We've hardly had any rain since March. Jesus, honestly. What's going on with the world." Back in May Kaleb revealed the truth about his absence from Clarkson's Farm series four and explained how 'brilliant' stand-in farmhand Harriet Cowan 'saved the day'. Season four of the smash-hit show hit our screens on May 23 and saw Kaleb disappear halfway through for a nationwide speaking tour. He was temporarily replaced by plucky farmhand Harriet and Kaleb revealed she was 'brilliant' and even helped Jeremy 'trim his eyebrows'. The young farmer confirmed to This Morning's Cat Deeley and Ben Shepherd that he was still very much a part of the show, but Harriet "saved the day" with her help while he was away.
