Kate Middleton's exact Boden linen safari shirt is slashed by £15 in rare sale
Kate Middleton recently championed the British high street by stepping out in a linen Boden shirt, and the exact one has been slashed by £15 in a rare offer Kate Middleton has been making more and more appearances over the past few months, and of course, her impeccable style is always at the forefront ( just recently, her My Fair Lady-style polka dress and, of course, her forest green Victoria Beckham suit). On another recent trip to Mull in Scotland, the Princess of Wales opted for a chic countryside look: a blue button-up shirt, tweed blazer (her one is the Double-Breasted Blazer from Holland Cooper), brown skinny trousers, and chunky brown boots. The exact blue shirt Kate appeared to be wearing was Boden's Blue Longline 100% Linen Safari Shirt, priced at £98, and amazingly, it's still in stock in sizes 8-18. And to make it even better, you can currently get 15% off using the code JM7D. That brings the price down by more than £15 to £83.40. Crafted from airy 100% linen, this shirt is ideal for staying cool in the summer while still looking smart and chic. Linen is a fabric that can often look a bit too casual and sometimes unprofessional, but that's not the case with this Boden one. To style this for the warmer months, we suggest swapping out Kate's tweed blazer and dark jeans for something a bit lighter, like a denim midi skirt, poplin maxi skirt, or straight-leg jeans. If you're looking for a floatier, less safari-chic blue linen shirt, Meghan Markle recently wore best-selling Garçon classic shirt in cotton poplin in the simple yet timeless 'Blue Eoe' shade. A great option if you have a bit more budget to spend (although also quite a reasonably-priced buy!). While Gap's Blue 100% Linen Oversized Shirt, available for £75 here, is one of those throw-on staples you'll reach for all summer long. Designed from 100% soft linen, it's breathable, lightweight, and machine washable, making it the ideal piece to roll up in your suitcase. To style this, we suggest keeping it simple with a pair of Ecru-coloured jeans and some on-trend woven ballet flats.

EXCLUSIVE Kate's favoured designer Jade Holland Cooper admits she 'never knows when the royal is going to wear her brand' - and says first time was a 'truly a career highlight'
The Princess of Wales knows that a stylish, tailored blazer can bring an outfit together in an instant - and recently, she delivered a masterclass in styling a tweed jacket from one of her favourite designers, Jade Holland Cooper. During Kate, 42, and the Prince of Wales' recent royal visit to Scotland to mark their 14th wedding anniversary, the royal donned a double-breasted brown herringbone blazer by the quintessential British brand. Holland Cooper is known for its sharp tailoring and the piece worn by Kate is no exception, with it featuring a longline style cut close to the body with hip pockets, a luxury satin line, and signature gold Holland Cooper hardware that complimented the brown herringbone fabric. The Princess gave the blazer a more casual look by wearing it over a light blue button-shirt with the cuffs exposed and dark skinny jeans, complete with a pair of rustic chic brown leather boots. Kate is a longtime fan of Holland Cooper, having worn the brand in numerous royal engagements over the years. But despite the royal's clear appreciation for the designer's clothing of the past several years, Jade Holland Cooper has admitted that even now, she still 'never knows when Kate is going to wear the brand'. Speaking to FEMAIL about the future Queen wearing her creations, the British fashion designer, who is married to the co-founder of clothing label Superdry, Julian Dunkerton, said: 'It was such a special moment for me, even better that she is a genuine fan of the brand. 'She is the epitome of classic style, just the perfect endorsement and ambassador for all brand Holland Cooper stands for.' Discussing whether she's ever warned ahead of time that Kate will be making an appearance in one of her designs, Jade revealed: 'No, we never know when she is going to wear it. 'The first time, I was actually on a photoshoot in the middle of a field on a shoot we were doing to launch our dog accessories range. I checked my phone and had so many missed calls from the team, it was a truly a career highlight for me.' In 2023, Kate wore a white bodysuit by Holland Cooper under her tailored burgundy suit by Roland Mouret at a reception that took place ahead of her inaugural Shaping Us National Symposium. That same year, she wore a sleek pair of white trousers by the designer, paired with a bespoke coat by Savile Row tailor Chris Kerr at her Together at Christmas carol concert at Westminster Abbey. Other times she has worn the British brand include the £179 Fairisle knit jumper she wore to present a 2022 CBeebies bedtime story - which sold out after she appeared on TV with it - and the Knightsbridge Coat to the Six Nations that same year. Jade, whose father was a farmer and mother was a fashion designer, founded Holland Cooper in 2008 at Badminton Horse Trials. Fifteen years later, the company is predicted a £40million annual turnover. Later that same year, at her Together at Christmas carol service, she wore an elegant ivory coat by Savile Row tailor Chris Kerr over a pair of sleek high-waisted ivory trousers by Holland Cooper 'I noticed a gap in the market for stylish and flattering country clothes,' explained the businesswoman. 'All the tweeds were ill-fitting, I wanted to create garments that were not only fit for purpose, but looked amazing and empowered the women who wore them. 'I had a tiny stand at Badminton Horse Trials, selling tweed miniskirts – we soon sold out. I appreciated the demand and abandoned my studies at the Royal Agricultural College in order to start a business; Holland Cooper was born.' The designer says she has always been entrepreneurial, having even started her own egg selling business as a child, where she would trade the eggs from her chickens locally. 'I watched both my parents start businesses and work hard and this made me want to do the same, with the drive to succeed,' said Jade. The fashion designer said seeing racegoers at Cheltenham Festival wearing her attire 'is one of the highlights of the year for me.' 'Our tailoring is timeless, and its lovely to see the same pieces from 15 years ago being styled with new pieces to create the perfect racing looks,' she explained. Sharing her tips for race day dressing, she said: 'Layering is key to making sure you look great but also enjoy the day,' adding: 'It is always freezing!' The Princess made quite a statement at the 2022 Six Nations match between England and Wales, where she wore the black-and-white houndstooth Knightsbridge Coat by the brand Kate has stepped out in Jade Holland Cooper's eponymous clothing range a number of times - including in 2022 when the £179 Fairisle knit sweater the royal wore to present a CBeebies bedtime story (pictured) sold out She continued: 'I think people assume racing means green tweeds, although these are a classic, I like to try bright bolder looks.' Meanwhile, she warned: 'The ground is often muddy, and you are on your feet most of the day, so a flat boot or chunky heel is necessary.' Discussing the perfect accessories, she added: 'It is a busy day and a cross body bag is a must. I always tell my customers that leather gloves are a must; a silk scarf can really elevate your look and one of our trilby hats.

Inside Kate Middleton's Traitors-inspired wardrobe: How the Princess of Wales channels Claudia Winkleman's 'Highland goth' style
This week, the Prince and Princess of Wales toured the Scottish Isles and, as always, Catherine served up several stunning looks that harmonised with her surroundings. To mark her fourteenth wedding anniversary, the future queen, 43, stepped out in a blazer from Holland Cooper and a lightweight Boden shirt teamed with her reliable Massimo Dutti trousers and Chloé boots as she sampled whiskey and cooked haggis on the Isle of Mull on Tuesday. And she continued her sartorial streak on Wednesday in a countryside-inspired ensemble consisting of a Ralph Lauren Collection tweed jacket layered over a Boden blouse and a Johnstons of Elgin cashmere jumper in khaki green as she walked through the Ardura Community Forest. But is it possible the princess is borrowing from the style book of television royalty? Eagle-eyed royal watchers pointed out that Claudia Winkleman, the award-winning host of The Traitors and sister of Lady Frederick Windsor, was first to rock 'haute couture' in the Highlands. Since starting to film the hit series at Ardross Castle in Ross-shire in 2022, the Strictly Come Dancing presenter, 53, has traded her sequinned dresses and stilettos for Chelsea boots, blazers, kilts, chunky jumpers and turtlenecks. Sophie McKeefry is the mastermind behind Claudia's 'Highland goth' wardrobe for The Traitors, with fashion columnists saying the aesthetic befits the show's 19th century setting and ominous themes. Fans and critics alike have also praised the high-profile stylist for spotlighting the work of British designers and brands on the show including Holland Cooper and Johnstons of Elgin. Sound familiar? The Princess of Wales wears a Holland Cooper blazer as she steps out with Prince William in Tobermory on the Isle of Mull on April 29, 2025 Now all Catherine needs is some fake tan and a jet black fringe. Whether it's tartan and Fair Isle prints or cord and tweed fabrics, McKeefry told The Independent that Claudia's 'outfits need to work' in the 'rugged backdrop' that is Scotland. 'It's country attire,' she said. 'But still high fashion.' 'I think where the missions are sometimes set – like the woodlands – can almost make it feel like a beautiful photo shoot, where you'd see those lovely Gothic looks put together in a woodland atmosphere so naturally,' she told the publication. 'I think people like to see those looks – like the Holland Cooper jeans with the Dr Martin boots in this series, it's got that heritage feel but also an edge, which makes it look so cool.' The same could be said about Catherine who donned the classic Massimo Dutti trousers and her well-loved Chloé walking boots as she knelt down to join the Ardura Acorns - a local children's group that take part in outdoor learning. The Princess of Wales has spoken out about how she reconnected with nature during her treatment for cancer - a heartwarming message perpetuated by the green and brown hues in her country-inspired Scottish wardrobe. And Claudia is no stranger to country chic either, reaching for a Barbour jacket when overseeing all the missions throughout the first series of The Traitors. Both Catherine and Claudia (both pictured in ruffled blouses) seem to take inspiration from the rugged landscape around them The Princess of Wales and Claudia both wear kilts Both women wear chunky turtleneck jumpers and hunting jackets. Claudia (right) wears a Barbour jacket - a British heritage brand loved by the royals 'The first series we did, I think Claudia wore my old Barbour for every mission,' McKeefry, who has worked with the presenter for over 20 years, revealed. 'I was like, she needs a coat as well, so I thought I'll go to my house, get my Barbour and just throw that in there as well.' Barbour is a British heritage brand favoured by various members of the Royal Family including King Charles, Camilla, and, of course, Catherine. But, according to Claudia, she and McKeefry only have one royal 'muse' when it comes to choosing outfits for The Traitors - Princess Anne. During an appearance on The Graham Norton Show, Claudia summed up her style as 'Princess Anne meets [English soprano] Sarah Brightman.' This wasn't the last time Claudia referenced Princess Anne - whose timeless 'countrycore' aesthetic has earned her fashionista status - while discussing her looks on The Traitors. Ahead of the show's season two premiere in 2022, Claudia described one of her outfits as 'sea monster meets Princess Anne, and then they go to a golf sale, and nod at Jane McDonald'. Along with Claudia and her longtime stylist McKeefry, Princess Anne has also served as a muse for Silvia Venturini Fendi, the matriarch of the revered Italian fashion house Fendi, who dedicated a menswear collection to the royal mother-of-two. The Fendi catwalk in January 2024 - with a Princess Royal influence The ultimate Barbour family with Anne, Peter and Zara all matching in coats and wellies 'I fell in love with the style of Princess Anne who, to my mind, is the most elegant woman in the world,' Venturini Fendi previously said. 'When I saw the Princess Anne in her uniform, I thought she looked beautiful. 'So I said, "Let's be inspired for a men's collection."' During Venturini Fendi's AW24 men's show last year, models walked down the runway in wax jackets, welly boots, and lashings of tartan as the prolific fashion designer paid tribute to Anne's timeless style. Gushing over Princess Anne's wardrobe choices, equal parts practical and feminine, Venturini Fendi added: 'I liked the idea of breaking barriers, breaking the masculine and feminine codes. 'The Princess Royal is very rigorous in how she dresses, with his kind of military-minded attitude, but feminine at the same time,' she continued. 'She's kind of an anti-fashion person and, to me, that's something that's actually very fashionable and chic.' Despite curating a wardrobe inspired by Princess Anne, and showing off similar sartorial taste to Catherine, Claudia has a far more direct royal connection.
