The Duchess of Cambridge s Scotland tourdrobe spanned casual to formal
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have spent the past week in Scotland, deployed on an apparent charm offensive to help quell growing independence sentiment and marking Prince William’s appointment as Lord High Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.
Royals paying visits to charities and opening hospitals may seem unlikely to swing anyone decidedly in one direction or another, but there is immense soft power in a sustained show of support from one of the world’s most famous couples.

2020 has been a big year for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. The couple has been inching into ever more senior royal territory for some time now, but two events early in the year shaped the coming months for Kate and William as they stepped up for family and country.
On January 8, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced their imminent departure from the Royal family and by mid-March, Covid-19 had plunged the nation into lockdown.
Visual impact has long been a vital tool in royal public relations, but Kate used it to her advantage more than ever this year, introducing new styles, silhouettes and labels and creating fresh takes on her royal uniform which framed her as more senior and stateswoman-like than ever before, even in the face of turmoil.
