Tartan skirts inspired by the styles of Princess Kate and Claudia Winkleman are available from £48, offering shoppers a range of heritage-inspired designs for the festive season. The trend has gained popularity through the Princess of Wales's tailored royal outfits and Claudia Winkleman's countryside-chic looks on The Traitors.
Budget-Friendly Royal Style

The design can be paired with a crisp white blouse, tailored black blazer and court shoes for a Catherine-inspired look, or with a chunky roll-neck, oversized coat and knee-high boots for a bolder finish.
