Pregnant Kate Middleton wears tartan cape – how to get the look
Steal Kate’s pregnancy style with a cool maternity cape
Cape crusader
Pregnant Kate Middleton has been spotted wearing a grey tartan cape with a tiny bump just visible beneath the pleats. That can only mean one thing – shops selling capes must gird their loins, as we predict a maternity cape riot.
With Kate’s engagement dress now available in maternity sizes at Issa, and GAP jeggings getting the nod of approval from the Princess (not that she could find her size, darn it!), the royal buzz is bound to hit the cape market, as the expectant royal need just look at a piece of clothing and it usually sells out. So, we’ve hunted out the best capes on the high-street so you can spend your pregnancy feeling every inch the royal.
