Kate Middleton has mastered the art of the quick outfit change and now she's onto hiking without breaking a sweat. Where can we find such royal magic?

On her second day in Bhutan, the Duchess of Cambridge proved she's in quite the impressive physical shape when she took to the mountains for a hike up to the Tiger's Nest monastery. Prince William's father Prince Charles hiked up to the same monastery in 1998, though he only made it to the halfway mark. 

With William by her side, the pair arrived several hours later, though we would never believe it by just looking at these photos. 

The 34-year-old mother of two epitomized CoverGirl's "easy, breezy, beautiful" tagline with her brunette wavy tresses framing her face, her skin glowing and her outfit comfortable and cool. 

The royal fashionista left her printed maxi dresses behind in exchange for a pair of jeans, a collared shirt, a vest and knee-high boots designed by Penelope Chilvers. Royals may not sweat, but they still need sunglasses. To top off the look, both royals sported a pair of sunnies to keep the strong rays out of their eyes.

Kate's beau also kept his look casual in a pair of tan chinos and a collared shirt with the sleeves rolled up. Along the trek, reporters spotted the married pair holding hands and taking in the romantic natural scenery.

"It was amazing beautiful scenery as you saw," William gushed to a group of reporters standing by. 

"We're really lucky and fortunate to see such beautiful scenery," Kate echoed. Despite their incredible trip, the couple is still thinking of their two children at home. When a reporter asked if they were missing Prince George and Princess Charlotte, their emotion was clear. 

"Massively! Yes, of course. We're really looking forward to seeing them," Prince William replied. "They're in good hands."
