In what the Independent is calling “country chic,” Middleton donned a green tweed jacket by Irish brand Dubarry while she visited with children at King Henry’s Walk in Islington Community Garden.
The fashion-forward Royal was there to support The Royal Horticultural Society and their development of new gardens.
