Kate Middleton has donned nearly every fashion combination possible since she married Prince William in 2011.

We’re talking sun dresses, gowns, fancy hats and almost anything else you can think of.

Except for shorts, that is.

What event prompted this clothing decision by Middleton? And what does she look like in shorts?!?
