Kate Middleton Sports 19-Year-Old Accessory from Her Days as a Royal Girlfriend in Latest Video

The Princess of Wales bundled up in the longtime item for a walk in the woods

Kate Middleton continued her scarf streak by reaching for a piece that’s been in her closet since she was Prince William’s royal girlfriend.

The Princess of Wales turned 44 on Jan. 9 and released a new video titled “Winter” to conclude the “Mother Nature” video series she launched in 2025, where she wore a sentimental accessory.

Princess Kate bundled up in a dark paisley scarf with her long coat for the early morning walk in Berkshire, sporting an accessory that she first debuted in 2007.

Kate wore the same accessory to the Cheltenham Festival in March 2007, pairing the piece with a brown beret, light blue blazer, brown skirt and knee-high heeled boots.

The future Princess of Wales stepped out for the festival that Princess Anne, her equestrian daughter Zara and Zara’s then-boyfriend and future husband, Mike Tindall, attended.

College sweethearts William and Kate would later get engaged in Kenya in October 2010 and marry in an epic royal wedding in London in April 2011.

Princess Kate has made recycling longtime items a part of her personal style and similarly sported a brown tweed jacket from 2007 for a visit to Wales with Prince William last year. The scarf statement also continued a recent streak, as she also wore a patterned scarf on Christmas Day in December.

Her shoes in the new “Mother Nature” video might have been even older. The tasseled knee-high boots she wore for the walk in the woods looked like the ones from Penelope Chilvers she bought in 2004 and have become a signature in her royal rotation.

“I’m delighted that these boots, designed to last a lifetime, have been worn by someone who lives by the same ethos as I do for my brand,” Chilvers told PEOPLE in 2023.

Princess Kate spoke with emotion in the new “Mother Nature” video released last Friday, which followed her stroll over a bridge, dip her hand in a stream and look pensive in a frosty field, interspersed with a voiceover of her reflecting on nature and healing.
