Duke & Duchess Spend the Day in Wales...

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge began their day in Wales today with a visit to Valero Pembroke Refinery on the Pembrokeshire coast. The couple were greeted by lots of well-wishers upon their arrival.

According to the Daily Mail the oil refinery, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary, said their visit was a 'huge honour'. The royal couple met with workers and apprentices before being ushered into a minibus to travel to the 1,270-acre site's control room where they met shipping and blending workers.

The Pembroke refinery was officially opened in 1964 by the Queen Mother.

The visit ended with a performance by the Young Actors Studio and then William and Kate unveiled a plaque and painting by a local artist.

Following the visit, the Duke and Duchess then went to the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff to watch the Rugby Union international match between Wales and Australia.

The Duchess is said to be around 15 weeks pregnant, with their second baby due in April. Today's outfit offered the first real glimpse of a baby bump.

Today Kate chose to wear baby blue again, a very similar hue to that of the Jenny Packham gown she wore back in October. This time it was in a coat version.

This coat is by British designer Matthew Williamson and is described as a 'crisply tailored coat with four pockets deliberately placed to flatter and emphasize your waist'. 

It is currently retailing for £1,195 at Net-a-Porter. 

Underneath the coat, the Duchess wore a new dress by Hobbs, the Animal Silk Shirt Dress in Light Bitter Chocolate. This dress is currently retailing at £118 at John Lewis. The Duchess wore the dress with top button undone and the collar overlapping the lapels on the coat. 

The Duchess stuck to old favourites with her choice of footwear and elected to wear her Aquatalia Hi and Dry Stretch Platform Boots in Black Suede. They are still available for £395 at Russell & Bromley. 

She also chose her Stuart Weitzman Muse Envelope Clutch in Black Suede, which is also available at Russell & Bromley for £255.

The Duchess wore her Kiki McDonough Classic Green Amethyst and Diamond Cushion Drop Earrings with retail at £1,300.

Copy Kate

Wrap up for winter in baby blue just like the Duchess. This coat from Planet will keep away the chill and still look stylish. It is currently reduced from £249 to £179. These Pointed Toe Platform Stretch Long Boots from Marks & Spencer's will keep your legs warm and fashionable and are a very good replica of Kate's. These earrings from Azuni are not exactly like Kate's but they are a very good, and much cheaper at £36, alternative. They are available in a number of colours. I've shown them in the green like Kate's and the blue, because personally I think the blue work better with the coat!

I love the Duchess's classic look today. The colour of the coat looked beautiful against her skin tone. For me, the whole look worked wonderfully for the day. 

I will be back tomorrow with Remembrance Sunday, the service starts at 11am, following 2 minute silence.
