Kate Middleton stepped out in style for her first royal engagement after giving birth to her third child — in a trusty pair of 14-year-old riding boots.
On Tuesday, the Duchess of Cambridge arrived at the Sayers Croft Forest School and Wildlife Garden in west London looking chic and casual in an olive green sweater with matching jacket, light brown skinny jeans, and her go-to Penelope Chilvers Long Tassel Boots, which retail for $617.
