Kate Middleton Wore the Chicest Combat Boots We've Ever Seen on a Royal Day Trip

Kate Middleton and Prince William visited the spot where the duchess used to vacation as a kid during their day trip to England's Lake District on Tuesday.

The Cambridges, who looked sporty casual in jeans, greeted crowds in Keswick, Cumbria. The duchess wore a brown military coat by TROY London ($365) and her chunky Chloe boots (a royal rewear) with black skinny jeans and her hair in a voluminous half-braided ponytail. The duke wore a pullover sweater and collared shirt under a navy blazer with dark-wash denim. 

After a walkabout in Keswick, the royal couple headed to a farm to help shear sheep and learn more about the area's mountain rescue services and a drugs advisory group, causes that are both near and dear to the Cambridges' hearts.

William, who was a former search and rescue pilot, and Kate, who has been working with charities that tackle addiction, were able to chat with leaders and representatives of the organizations. 

During their walk through the town, Middleton and William were reunited with three dogs, called Max, Paddy and (cheekily named) Prince Harry, they had met previously at the Buckingham Palace Garden Party last month.

According to royal correspondent Rebecca English via Twitter, Middleton had knelt down to pet the dogs at the palace during the garden party, and she and William were so smitten with the pups, who are all trained therapy dogs, that they invited them to meet them in their hometown of Keswick during their visit.
