[...] Lo ha fatto negli ultimi tempi con i pois ma è cronaca recente il cappotto rosso con il quale ha visitato per la prima volta il Galles dopo avere ricevuto il titolo di principessa del Galles da Carlo due settimane prima. Il soprabito era firmato LK Bennett e il modello si chiamava, non a caso, Spencer. Inoltre il colore è quello rappresentativo del Galles: con un solo look è riuscita a fare un filotto (riuscitissimo) di tributi. Oltretutto il cappotto (out of stock, ovviamente) fa parte della collezione Conscious del brand, realizzato in lana riciclata prodotta in Italia da Manteco, azienda che ha come core business la sostenibilità.
