The Princess of Wales debuted a new ‘eternity band’ and re-wore an old Ralph Lauren T-shirt as she sent a congratulatory message to Team GB last night.
The royal, 42, appeared alongside the Prince of Wales, 42, in a star-studded video shared on the couple’s Instagram yesterday.
For the heartwarming video, the mother of three wore a black and white striped top by Ralph Lauren.
The designer blouse, which originally retailed for £85, has been a staple in Kate’s wardrobe since 2013.
The royal was first spotted wearing the long-sleeved top while grocery shopping in Anglesey in August 2013 and then wore it to an official SportAid charity event at London’s Olympic Park two months later.

In the congratulatory video, Kate wore minimal jewelry, opting for a thin silver choker necklace and no earrings.
The princess was also spotted wearing a new ring on her wedding ring finger, leading royal fans to speculate that it is an eternity ring.
The chunky gold ring appeared to be set with diamonds and sapphires, which would match the royal’s engagement ring that once belonged to Princess Diana.
Commenting on Royal Fashion Police’s Instagram post, one wrote: ‘The sapphire anniversary/eternity band is a beautiful alternative to your engagement ring.
‘It’s nice to have a ring with a lower profile for everyday casual wear.’
In response, another added: “I think it’s beautiful and probably a more reasonable ring for everyday wear.”
Another added: “That sapphire strap sure looks a lot more practical for everyday life and it really is pretty.”
The Prince and Princess of Wales celebrated their 13th wedding anniversary this year and marked the occasion by sharing a new black-and-white portrait of their nuptials.

The monarch congratulated the participants for their “extraordinary successes” and praised their “raw talent, their courage and their hard work” in the message, which came just hours before the final moments of the Olympic Games in the French capital.
