Kate's first outfit of the day was very-smart casual. She wore the Somerset by Alice Temperley Spot Pretty Blouse.

She also wore a new blazer by Canadian brand Smythe. It was the Wool Duchess Blazer.

Kate has worn the One Button Blazer in navy that she wore during the couples visit to Canada in 2011 and then on many occasions since and so it was nice to see a similar style in a new colour.

Kate wore the Zara Skinny Mid-Rise Trousers.

She also wore her R. Soles Virgi Chocolate Suede Boots that we saw the other day.

She finished the look with her Kiki McDonough Classic Citrine Pear Drop Earrings.

She also had on her Cartier Ballon Bleu Watch.
