But Kensington Palace has quashed the rumours and confirmed the hat that Kate wore in Stockholm was actually faux fur.
Royal reporter Richard Palmer tweeted: "In spite of the Twitter outcry, Kensington Palace says the Duchess was not wearing fur on her bobble hat earlier. I believe the gloves are fake fur too and the coat shearling."
"Kensington Palace has double checked and is adamant the hat is faux. It won't confirm the make. Is this #fakefurnews?"
