The Duchess debuted a new brand today and wore a dress by The Fold - the Eaton Dress. It is in a silver-tweed and costs £365.

She teamed the dress with Jimmy Choo Aimie Pumps in grey suede and her Hobbs Somerton Clutch.

The Duchess wore here Kiki McDonough Grace White Topaz Stud Earrings which are available for £795.

I thought it was a very professional and appropriate outfit for today's visit and thought it was one of the Duchess's best outfits to date - understated and sophisticated!
