The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge embarked on a three-day Royal Train Tour this week to pay tribute to individuals and organisations across the country that have helped support their local communities this year.

As the royal couple arrived in Edinburgh this morning, the duchess was seen stepping out in a sky blue coat by Catherine Walker, which she paired with black heeled boots. However, it was her accessories that caught most people’s attention.

For starters, the duchess debuted a new floral face mask by Amaia London, which is available to buy for £15.

The duchess also chose to champion and support small, independent Scottish brand, Strathberry, during for her visit to Scotland, as she was seen carrying the brands Multrees Chain Wallet bag, which boasts a black croc texture with a small gold chain.

However, the Duchess of Cambridge isn’t the first royal to champion the Scottish bag brand.

Back in February 2018, also while in Edinburugh, Meghan Markle also shone a spotlight on the Edinburgh-based brand, which was founded in 2013 by husband and wife team, Guy and Leeanne Hundleby.

The former Suits actress wore a green tartan coat for the occasion, which she accessorised with the East/West Mini Bag, which retails for £425 and quickly sold out after having her seal of approval.

Luckily, it’s now available to buy again and also comes in a large variety of colours.

In fact, Strathberry bags were a regular occurrence in Meghan Markle’s royal wardrobe.

The 39-year-old was first seen championing the small Scottish brand during a visit to a Terrence Higgins Trust World AIDS Day Charity Fair in Nottingham with Prince Harry in December 2019.

The former actress was last seen sporting the brand while in Ireland in July 2018.
