Another day, another story talking about Kate Middleton's outfits and envious style. You might have missed it due to the still Oprah-interview heavy headlines (including Prince Harry and Meghan Markle dropping their royal monogram, and ITV editing the interview for legal reasons), but Prince William and Kate Middleton made a digital appearance yesterday in honour of St Patrick's Day.

The footage, aired in partnership with the Irish Foreign Ministry, featured messages from leaders around the world wishing everyone a 'Happy St Patrick's Day'.

In honour of the Irish holiday, Kate wore head-t0-toe green, and her lime green blazer was surprisingly affordable.

The bouclé jacket is by none other than high-street favourite Zara, and costs just £59.99. As with many items worn by the Duchess, it has sadly sold out already, however it's worth refreshing the page regularly just in case someone returns theirs.

Kate, who usually likes to pay homage to countries when she visits them, also dug out her favourite gold shamrock necklace (£260 from Daniella Draper), which is of course the national flower of Ireland.

She previously wore it for the couple's official tour of Ireland.

Penny grew up in France and studied languages and law at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris before moving to the UK for her MA in multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).

Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
