The Duchess of Cambridge looked radiant as she debuted a flattering new hairstyle for morning prayers at Crathie Kirk church in Scotland on Sunday.

Kate, 33, who will see a return to royal duties over the coming weeks - including an appearance at the opening ceremony of the Rugby World Cup - debuted chic bangs for the occasion.

The royal mother-of-two showed off a flattering fringe and shorter style as she sat in the passenger seat of the Range Rover driven by Prince William.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were seen driving to Crathie Kirk for morning prayers in Scotland on Sunday

The royal couple, who welcomed their second child, Princess Charlotte, in May, drove from Balmoral Castle to the church in a convoy of cars.

Kate, who is well-known for her thrifty fashion sense, wrapped up warm in a coat she’s worn before from one of her favourite high street stores, Hobbs.

The royal style icon wore the £369 ‘Celeste’ coat in Liverpool on Valentine’s Day back in 2012. On this occasion, Kate teamed the rich plum coat with a cosy black turtleneck.

The Duchess of Cambridge might be a busy mum of two, but motherhood hasn’t intervened with her autumn/winter clothing and hair preparations. She’s still enjoying the fringe benefits of fashion!

After admiring Kate’s gorgeous new hairdo, our eyes naturally drifted to her outfit for her visit to Crathie Kirk church in Scotland today. And since having a sift through the Duchess files, we’ve uncovered that it’s a coat she’s worn before from one of Britain’s favorite luxury affordable stores, Hobbs.

The ‘Celeste’ coat in a rich plum hue was spotted on Kate in Liverpool on Valentine’s Day in 2012, so it’s clear to see that she’s welcoming in the colder months with open arms. And there’s us still hobbling about in light cardigans in hope of a last minute heat wave.

Kate’s coat makes a stylish change from the boring black and navy kind that tend to fill our wardrobes, and you can't go wrong with a timeless burgundy oxblood color to mix things up a bit without going too bold.

The sad news is that Kate's coat sold out a few years ago, so you can either shop the current Hobbs coat collection (click right) or emulate her look from our top picks in the edit below from Joseph, Austin Reed, AX Paris Uttam Boutique and Helene Berman.

The royal couple drove from Balmoral Castle to the church behind Prince Charles

Crathie Kirk is a small Church of Scotland parish church in the village of Crathie - and the church that the royal family attend during their holidays at nearby Balmoral

Prince Charles was also in attendance, although it appeared that Prince George and Princess Charlotte remained at home. The Duke and Duchess are thought to be marking the Queen's landmark reign privately at Balmoral.

Crathie Kirk is a small Church of Scotland parish church in the village of Crathie. It is the worship place of choice for the royal family when they are holidaying at nearby Balmoral Castle.

Kate is said to have enjoyed spending the summer with her new daughter and son but is now keen to resume a limited programme of public engagements.

The new parents arrived at the small village church in their Range Rover on a bright sunny Sunday morning

This will start next week with a visit to the Anna Freud Centre in London, as part of a series of appointments designed to focus on mental health issues in children and young adults.

It is an area on which she intends to focus much of her public work in the coming months, with another engagement later this month and many more beyond, according to palace sources.

Determined not to become a ‘rugby widow’, Kate will also join her husband, Prince William, and brother-in-law, Prince Harry, both passionate fans of the sport, at the opening ceremony of the Rugby World Cup which kicks off at Twickenham on September 18.

She is also said to be planning to attend other unconfirmed tournament events.

The Duchess and her husband will also undertake several joint engagements together, including visits to Dundee and North Wales in Late October and late November respectively.

William is said by aides to have ‘settled in well’ to his new role as a pilot with East Anglian Air Ambulance service and also revelled in the time he has spent with his family at Anmer Hall, their newly-renovated Norfolk mansion, in recent weeks.
