The Duchess of Cambridge can do no wrong when it comes to fashion, and especially when she shows us how to rock a high street number.

Today’s affordable outfit came in the form of a pleated leopard-print skirt from high street favourite, Zara.

The 38-year-old paired the on-trend midi with a camel coat by Massimo Dutti, black roll-neck jumper and heeled boots for a visit to Ely and Careau Children's Centre in Cardiff.

She was there to attend a baby sensory session but, as she stepped out of the car, all eyes were on her £29.99 midi skirt, which had recently gone in the sale retailing for just £9.99.

Unsurprisingly, the skirt has already sold out.

But don’t worry animal-print lovers, though we might not be able to get our hands on Kate’s exact skirt - or afford her £845 Ralph Lauren boots - we’ve found five pretty-similar versions available to buy right now.

Run (or prowl), don’t walk to snap up these fierce skirts.
