The £48 Breton striped tee now comes with a polite notice on the Me + Em website that states ‘this product has an estimated dispatch date of 18th September.’

And if you’re thinking ‘ooh, I’ll just get it in a different colour!’, you might want to re-think because the earliest you’ll get it in any sort of hue is the end of July.

The 33-year-old royal, who was spotted in the top while playing with son Prince George at the polo this weekend, has worn the same design previously – at the polo, no less.

She styled the outfit in pretty much exactly the same way as she did before (skinny jeans, boat shoes, sunnies), except this time she was sporting maternity denim.

Well she HAS just given birth, can you blame her?

The Duchess opted for a pair of £38 Topshop ‘Leigh’ maternity jeans for her mother/son bonding day, as well as Russell and Bromley boat shoes - perfect for running around after Prince George in.

But guess what? They’ve sold out too. Boooo!
