Kate Middleton wore shorts for the first time publicly as a royal and nailed the look!

Kate Middleton wore shorts in public for the first time in eight years! 

Since joining the royal family in 2011, the Duchess of Cambridge is seen clad in formal and ladylike outfits. 

However, for her latest engagement which took her to sea as a skipper for one of the eight boats racing in the regatta, William’s wife slipped into good ol’ shorts.

Prince William and Kate were all smiles for the charity sailing race in which they both participated. 

The mother-of-three was presented the Wooden Spoon by Sir Keith Mills at the inaugural King’s Cup regatta prize-giving. 

Last time Kate was photographed wearing shorts in public was back in 2008 when she arrived to a Day-Glo Midnight Roller Disco Party in London.
