The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton recently made a heartfelt visit to the Royal Marsden Hospital in London on Tuesday, where she had previously received cancer treatment via Daily Mail.
Kate donned a Blaze Milano coat and Russell & Bromley pumps, and earned widespread praise for her warm and compassionate interactions with current patients.
Reflecting her commitment to the Royal Family, she also carried a handbag with deep ties to the monarchy.
The incredibly designed Asprey ‘Morgan’ bag combines timeless elegance with contemporary style. Priced at a whopping £2,995, it’s aimed towards those who value both luxury and practicality.
Asprey’s connection to British royalty dates back to the 1800s when Queen Victoria awarded the brand its first royal warrant. The company also runs a philanthropy programme. It supports various charities, which is likely another aspect that appeals to Kate.
Her appearance marked another success for the brand. ‘Asprey is incredibly honoured that the Princess of Wales wore the Morgan leather handbag on her outing to the Royal Marsden Hospital,’ Bobby Gill, director of VIP sales, told Daily Mail.
‘She’s a loyal supporter of British brands and in the case of Asprey embodies the future of that special historical tie that the brand holds with the royal family.’
The ‘Morgan’ design boasts a sleek silhouette, expertly crafted from soft grain leather with a sumptuous suede interior, providing enough space to hold essentials.
‘It effortlessly transitions from day to evening, making it an ideal companion for any occasion,’ Mr Gill proudly said.
Kate owns an earlier version of the bag, which remains available for purchase in-store. The updated version, offered both online and in-store, features a chain shoulder strap instead of the royal’s preferred top-handle style.
‘Every element is thoughtfully designed to merge style with functionality, reflecting the brand’s heritage and attention to detail,’ Mr Gill continued.
The Princess has been a long-time admirer of Asprey’s jewellery and leather collections, having showcased five pairs of earrings, two necklaces and, now, two bags.
However, the brand’s ties to royalty dates much further back, to 1862, when Queen Victoria granted the company a royal warrant for dressing cases, travelling bags and writing cases.
