Kate inspires Sweden's future Queen with her houndstooth style - 'She is so beautiful!'
Princess Estelle, the future Queen of Sweden, turned 11 years old today and posed for a new photograph. She wore a style favoured by Kate, Princess of Wales.
The Swedish Royal Court has released a new picture of Princess Estelle to celebrate her 11th birthday today. The picture was taken at the Royal Palace in Stockholm.
Princess Estelle is the eldest child of Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden. Estelle will be the next Swedish Queen after Victoria takes the throne.
In the photograph, Estelle looked gorgeous in a cream jumper with elbow-length sleeves which she paired with a Houndstooth skirt.
The skirt was a Patachou “houndstooth tweed mini skirt”, which retails for £106.
The tweed mini skirt is black and white, made of cotton and tweed and features a houndstooth pattern.

Despite £106 being quite pricey for a child's mini skirt, it can also be bought for just £74 from Farfetch.

Just recently on a royal tour to Boston, the Princess of Wales wore a fitted houndstooth dress by Emilia Wickstead.
The dress created a polished, professional and elegant look for Kate.
The Princess also owns the Reiss Rubik coat in a houndstooth print, which she wore back in 2015.
The Reiss Rubik Houndstooth coat is a “wrap” style coat with a large funnel collar. Reiss calls this a “high collar”. The black and white check coat retails for £365.
Back in October 2021, Kate wore a Houndstooth dress from Zara which triggered a 305 percent spike in searches for "houndstooth".
Kate had previously worn this stunning number during a visit to Bradford in 2020.
The dress originally retailed for £89.99 from Zara and is a midi-length dress with a monochrome houndstooth check print.
The Princess's outfit was belted at the waist and decorated with a pussy-bow neckline.
