The Princess of Wales also wore the 'Capri' striped cotton-poplin shirt in tan and white by Ralph Lauren, a designer whose suits she has also styled in the recent past. Middleton paired her shirt and blazer with a pair of chocolate brown pants with a belt.
As for other elements of her attire, the royal wore a pair of metallic-trimmed leather sneakers courtesy of Veja. Her jewelry consisted of a Cartier bracelet and white gold earrings, along with a necklace by London-based brand Auree Jewelry.
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.
Known for her power suiting moments and royal rewears, Middleton's embrace of the business casual style created an approachable effect for her latest solo royal engagement. The combination of the Ralph Lauren shirt with the Blazé Milano blazer and Veja sneakers crafted a business casual aesthetic that still catered to Middleton's approach to fashion and style.

Legado: Michelin-starred Nieves Barragán to open new Spanish restaurant in Shoreditch
The latest high-profile restaurant to open in the new Shoreditch development under the Overground line is Legado, a new Spanish concept from Nieves Barragán Mohacho and JKS Restaurants. Legado, which means 'legacy', is next door to the new Singburi, while the Standard understands another big opening is planned nearby (we cannot say yet, but hold tight). Barragán is best known for her Michelin-starred Mayfair restaurant Sabor, a multi-floor restaurant that spans Spain's regional cuisine. Legado, the Standard was told, 'is set to move beyond the familiar, allowing the wider ingredients, lesser-known dishes, regional culinary traditions and the Spanish artisans to take centre stage.' The 60-cover restaurant – with a further 16 at the counter – will serve tapas and pintxos that shine a light on specific producers, ingredients and Spanish traditions. Lamb, for example, will come from Lechazo de Castilla y León (an origin-protected producer), while suckling pig is to be sourced from the award-winning farm Tabladillo el Cochinillo in Segovia, a province north of Madrid, Fish will be treated much the same, with a menu that traverses Spanish coastlines. Dishes are to include crystal Mediterranean prawns with smoked paprika and Moscatel vinegar, and confit lobster with chilli and garlic served on a base of thinly sliced potatoes. Both will come topped with a runny fried egg. As for vegetarian dishes, the most interesting could be the 'Legado sandwich', made with Swiss chard, cecina, and smoked cheese fried in breadcrumbs, which Barragán remembers her grandmother making for her in the Basque region. 'Spain's food heritage is incredible and has rightly deserved recognition in London and globally,' she said. 'Its colours, tastes, and smells are rooted deeply within me. However, many dishes I love, I have never seen outside the country and want to bring them and even more to London.' As for wines, diners should expect a 150-bin list celebrating Spanish vintages, and 'seasonally changing vegetable and fruit-based cocktails served chilled but without ice.' There will be three-sip drinks, short drinks being the fashion in London right now. The restaurant will look Spanish and modern – think a colour palette of green, plaster pink and terracotta – with exposed brick, an open kitchen and lots of beautiful wood. Legado opens on August 28, 1C Montacute Yards, 185-186 Shoreditch High Street, E1 6HU,

Lee Westwood and his caddie wife are the duo defying the odds at the Open Championship
For better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, for birdie or for bogey: Lee Westwood and his wife Helen are living every golf couple's dream at The Open Championship. The former world No. 1 rolled back the years to make an impressive start in the 153rd edition of the sport's oldest tournament at Royal Portrush, Northern Ireland on Thursday, with his spouse caddying every step of his two-under 69 opening round on a rain-soaked Dunluce Links course. It may be considered an unconventional – but not unheard of – arrangement for most players, but Westwood never had a second thought about his choice on the bag for his 90th major appearance. 'I prefer to have her caddying for me whenever she can,' the 52-year-old told reporters when he returned to the clubhouse, two shots off the lead. 'It was an easy decision for me. Probably harder for her – she'd rather be at home riding her horse.' The on-course partnership began in 2018, the duo explained on 'The Therapy Crouch' podcast earlier this month. 'I knew I could handle the weight of the bag and what have you, but I didn't have a bloody clue what I was doing,' said Helen, adding that she had never played the sport before that point. Yet it was a move that reaped instant reward, with Westwood claiming his 24th European Tour victory on their third tournament together. When the pair married in Las Vegas in 2021, their 'honeymoon' the following week was spent contesting the US Open in San Diego. While technical decisions on the course, like the choice of club or shot, start and end with the seven-time Ryder Cup champion, mental matters often fall upon the caddie's shoulders. 'Sometimes, when I'm kicking off and having a bit of a moan and a whinge, she looks at me and goes, 'Are you finished?'' Westwood said. 'He's in a beautiful spot doing something that he loves. I'm like, 'Grow up, get on with it,'' Helen added. With world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and home hero Rory McIlroy favorites among a star-studded field as The Open returns to Royal Portrush for just the third time, Westwood arrived as a 500/1 longshot with some bookmakers – but can take heart from the last time the venue played host on the Causeway Coast. The Nottinghamshire-born golfer finished tied-fourth in 2019, Helen on the bag once again, as McIlroy and a host of other big names were left reeling by testing conditions. It can serve as hope in his latest bid to shed the unwanted tag as one of the most talented players to never win a major. The best of his nine top-10 finishes came at the Open in 2010, albeit by seven shots, a year after he had agonizingly missed out on making the tournament playoff by a single stroke. 'I love The Open Championship and I love Portrush,' Westwood said Thursday. 'It's one of the golf courses where if it wasn't The Open and somebody said, 'Do you want to go and play Portrush this weekend?' I'd probably go. And there's not many courses like that.' Westwood's 28th Open start marks his first since 2022, the same year he left the PGA Tour to join LIV Golf. He had been competing in a Dallas event on the breakaway circuit just two days before he stamped his ticket for Royal Portrush with a victory in a final qualifying event earlier this month. He had held a share of the early lead with Denmark's Jacob Skov Olesen and China's Li Haotong at four-under par following a fourth birdie of the opening round at the 12th hole, only for bogeys at the 14th and 16th to drop him back. 'Links golf more than any golf gives you a chance when you're our age,' Westwood said. 'There's a bit more run on the ball … you've got to use the conditions.' 'Can't beat a senior name up there on a Thursday … we'll talk again if it's up there on Sunday,' he added.
