Kate Middleton is elegant for British Vogue's 100th Anniversary Issue

The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton makes her Vogue debut, and is featured as the cover star of the British Vogue's 100th Anniversary Issue.

The Duchess is sophisticated and elegant for the June 2016 edition, and is lensed in candid shots by the noted Josh Olins.

Styled by Vogue fashion director Lucinda Chambers, Kate looks relaxed and happy in casual designer clothing.

Shot in the Norfolk countryside, Kate is seen wearing a black fedora hat from Beyond Retro and a charcoal brown double-breasted suede coat and white shirt, both from Burberry, for one shot.

For another image, the Duchess of Cambridge dresses down in a black and red striped long-sleeved top from Petit Bateau and black Burberry trousers.

The shoot came as a collaboration between Vogue UK and the National Portrait Gallery, and Kate's spectacular images will hang in the gallery, where she has been a patron since 2012.
