Kate Middleton stood out wearing a bold red jumper on the final day of her Ireland tour with Prince William, 37. The Duchess put her sport skills to the test as she played hurling and football while in Galway. She looked casual wearing the cable jumper with black skinny jeans and trainers.

Kate stayed comfy by pairing the look with black and red trainers from New Balance, £75.

The black trainers had a white sole with a red logo and red tinted laces.

She completed the casual look with a pair of simple black skinny jeans.

Kate kept her jewellery to a minimum wearing only a pair of silver drop hoop earrings.

DON’T MISS

They were the Daniella Draper “Shamrock” drop earrings, £120, and featured a shamrock charm which gave a nod to Ireland’s national plant.

The Duchess wore her freshly cut hair down and styled into her signature bouncy blow-dry.

While at Salthill Knocknacarra GAA Club in Galway, Kate and Prince William tried their luck playing the Irish sport hurling.

The royals were given tips on the sport from local children who were members of the Knocknacarra GAA Club.

Kate was pulled in at the waist by a thick black belt with a silver circular buckle.

The piece was by Suzannah, one of Kate’s favourite designers, and it is on sale for £1,250.

Kate and William were attending a special event in Tribeton as part of their final day of the tour.

How did Kate Middleton become a royal?

Early life

Kate Middleton, or Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, was born on 9 January 1982 at the Royal Berkshire Hospital, Reading, England.

She was born to Michael and Carole Middleton, a former flight dispatcher and air hostess. The couple founded a party supplies company, Party Pieces, in 1987 – now estimated to be worth £30 million.

Kate has a younger sister Pippa Matthews, 34, and a younger brother James Middleton, 31.

Education

Kate and her family moved to Amman, Jordan, in 1984, where the future Duchess was educated at an English-speaking nursery school.

After moving back to Berkshire the family sent Kate to private school, St Andrews School. She went on to briefly study at Downe House before moving onto Marlborough College where she boarded.

For university the young Kate attended the University of St Andrews in Fife, Scotland. Here she was awarded an undergraduate MA (2:1 Hons) in history of art.

Relationship with Prince William

Kate met Prince William when they were both studying at St Andrews, and both living in St Salvator’s Hall. Famously, William reportedly took a fancy to Kate after she wore a see-through dress during a fashion show.

In 2003 the couple began dating and lived together during their second year of university.

The couple split in April 2007, however, in October they were back together.

Wedding

Prince William proposed to Kate Middleton with his late mother Princess Diana’s engagement ring in October 2010. The couple were holidaying in Kenya at the time.

On 29 April 2011 they married at Westminster Abbey with a whopping 26 million watching the event live.

Kate wore an Alexander McQueen dress worth a reported £250,000 on the big day.

Kate assumed the title “Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge” and also become the Duchess of Cambridge on the day.
