THRIFTY Kate Middleton rewore a trusty pair of boots that she has owned for 17 years as she stepped out with Prince William today for a farm visit.
The Duchess of Cambridge, 39, looked the epitome of countryside chic in her favourite long tassel boots from Penelope Chilvers, which cost £475.

She was first spotted wearing them at Blenheim Palace in 2004 and wore them again one year later at the Gatcombe Festival of Eventing in Gloucestershire.
As a distinguished helicopter pilot who was hailed a hero for his role in the Falklands conflict, Prince Andrew’s military roles could not be a bigger source of pride to him.
But I hear he’s going to come under renewed pressure to step down as Colonel of the Grenadier Guards in the new year and insiders predict he will be gone by the time of Trooping the Colour next summer.
‘Representations are going to be made to the Palace that we can’t continue with him as Colonel,’ a military source tells me. ‘We need a Colonel who can represent us in public. He is casting a shadow over the regiment and causing us embarrassment.’
