Whenever the Duchess of Cambridge wears something from the high street, it's bound to sell out fast, so we were hardly surprised to see that the stylish Boden blouse she wore this week has already flown off the shelves...

The royal chose the brand's Dora Tie Neck Blouse in the pretty pink Azalea Splash print for a video engagement to mark International Women's Day on Monday, 8 March.

Kate rang 21-year-old Jasmine Ford in Antigua to congratulate her on becoming the youngest woman to solo row across the Atlantic. Jasmine completed her record-breaking 3,000-mile row on 21 February, representing team RudderlyMad to raise money for charity. The challenge took her 70 days, three hours and 48 minutes to complete.

What to read next

During their conversation, Kate heard all about Jasmine's incredible journey, and discussed the ways in which her achievement may help motivate and inspire women across the world.

Congratulating Jasmine, Kate told her: "If nothing else, it's given a huge door opener for so many other young women to see that with that idea, with determination, with bravery and confidence, so many actually is really, really achievable. So a huge well done!"

She continued: "Honestly, you should be so proud and massive congratulations!"

Sadly for those of us who absolutely loved her latest look, with its spring-ready pastel print and on-trend pussy bow detailing, the Boden blouse quickly sold out within a matter of hours of Kate wearing it.

Although, given how quickly the Boden cardigan Kate wore on a call back in the autumn sold out too, we should have seen it coming.

After all, the £80 blouse is a true classic that would look effortlessly chic tucked into simple jeans. Luckily, the Dora blouse is still available to shop in two other prints, with all sizes still available...
