Winter is upon us, and Kate Middleton is ushering in the new season by showcasing her best in colorful outerwear during her Royal Train Tour of the UK. The Duchess of

It was her most holiday-inspired look so far, with the Duchess pairing the green long coat with a red tartan scarf. She also wore a mask, as everyone should amid the coronavirus pandemic (although the Duchess and royals haven't always):
The Kensington Palace Instagram shared footage of the couple's departure, writing, "The Duke and Duchess are off! This evening, The Duke and Duchess departed on the #RoyalTrainTour to pay tribute to the inspiring work of those who have gone above and beyond to support communities across England, Scotland, and Wales. We hope you can join us here, in thanking these amazing individuals and organizations along the way, in what has been a challenging year for the nation."
