How Kate Middleton masters high heels as she takes on the world (and makes it look easy!)

The Princess of Wales is not just universally known as one of the most popular royals, but she is a style inspiration to many. Often sporting the most chic ensembles, Kate always manages to look put together - even when she is partaking in strenuous sporting activity.

Over the years, she has made countless royal visits where her attire usually consists of form-fitting blazers and skirts - and she almost always pairs her stylish ensembles with a pair of pumps to add even more glamour. Where some struggle to keep their balance in stilettos, the royal mother-of-three struts with ease in the high heels; which only adds to her elegance.

She can not only stroll with ease in pumps; but can also dabble in different sports while elevated in height; having shown off hockey and volleyball skills in high heels on occasion. Kate even manages to maintain composure while wearing pumps on grass, at events like polo matches and horse racing events such as Royal Ascot.

Often sporting the most chic ensembles, Kate always manages to look put together - even when she is partaking in strenuous sporting activity. Back in 2012, Kate showed her sporty side to the public when she went back to her old school, St Andrew's in Pangbourne, Berkshire, to relive her youth with a game of hockey.
