When the Duchess of Cambridge steps out in a high street outfit, you can bet our ears prick up. So, imagine our delight at seeing Kate in a stunning shirt dress from one of our go-to brands, Boden.

Kate was pictured wearing a green printed shirt dress with flattering long sleeves and a cinched-in waist in new footage released on the official @KensingtonRoyal Instagram account on Wednesday (5 August) morning.

Boden has now confirmed to Good Housekeeping UK that the stylish piece in question is its Viola Maxi Shirt Dress. Sadly for those of us who would love to emulate Kate's latest outfit, the dress in question has now sold out, but we love the way the royal has styled it with classic white trainers for a cool and contemporary look that is bang on trend.

Kate was pictured in the dress as part of a short video about her latest initiative in support of UK baby banks. The duchess has brought together 19 brands and retailers to donate over 10,000 new items to more than 40 baby banks across the nation, in a bid to help some of the country's most vulnerable families.

Kate has proven just how versatile a printed shirt dress can be in the summer months, perfect for wearing with sandals and smart wedges, but equally stylish with white trainers for an everyday look.
