M&S shoppers snap up chic black coat Princess Kate would love and it's 20% off

When it comes to timeless winter dressing, Princess Catherine has perfected the art - and her recent series of elegant black coats proves why she always reigns supreme.

From her Catherine Walker coat worn for the Remembrance commemorations on Sunday, to the structured designs by Diane von Furstenberg and Alexander McQueen, the royal, 43, often gravitates towards sleek silhouettes in black. For those looking to emulate her polished aesthetic, M&S's wool blend longline coat is a perfect match - and it's currently 20% off in the sale.

Cut in a modern longline shape, this coat offers a regular fit with a single-breasted design, notched lapels and three-button fastening for a clean, streamlined finish. It also features pockets that are perfect for everyday wear. At the time of writing, it's available in sizes 6 to 24 (excluding size 22), it's a wardrobe staple that mirrors Catherine's understated sophistication.

This design can be styled with a belt to enhance the silhouette. Shoppers have praised its quality and comfort, with one reviewer noting, "Really long and good fit. Good quality material with warm touch. Looks great with collar turned up."

Note that this one is only available in a regular fit, with no petite or tall options offered.
