Kate Middleton was a vision in red earlier this week as she joined the rest of the royal family at Westminster Abbey – and we’ve found the perfect clutch to match Kate’s for £500 less
The Princess of Wales returned to royal duties alongside King Charles earlier this week for a poignant service they both sadly missed last year.
Kate looked eye-catching in a red Catherine Walker coat and a hat by Gina Foster in the same colour as she arrived at Westminster Abbey for the annual Commonwealth Day service alongside her husband, Prince William. They arrived just before King Charles and Queen Camilla and were joined by other royals, including Princess Anne, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, and a 2,000-strong congregation.
Those with a keen-eyed who are interested in replicating Kate’s always-glamorous style will have noticed that she matched her all-red ensemble with a Miu Miu red suede clutch – but unless you have a royal budget, this bag is likely too expensive for most of us as it retails for around £691.88. With that being said, we’ve found the perfect alternative accessory to add to your wardrobe to emulate the Duchess’ look for over £500 less.

Sure to complete any outfit as a statement accessory that exudes luxury, this Florence clutch bag boasts a vibrant red hue with a suede finish, just like Kate’s opted-for bag.
This bag is sure to be perfect for special events. It offers a textured finish, a leather outer, and a soft cotton lining. It can seamlessly be paired with any outfit, from an elegant gown to a sleek tailored coat ensemble just like the Duchess’.
