The Duchess of Cambridge showed off her short style at the King’s Cup Regatta last week and people were buzzing about Kate’s gorgeous gams. The athletic mom of three looked spectacular in navy shorts for a day at sea on the Isle of Wight with her family. And despite a valiant sailing effort the duchess did not win first prize in the charity boat race but she could’ve won a blue ribbon for ‘Loveliest Legs.’ So, in honor of the duchess and her leggy showcase–we’re revisiting some of her previous moments showing off her perfect stems.
