Tonight was the much anticipated Spectre World Premiere.

Daniel Craig and Lea Seydoux and Monica Bellucci (both Bond Girls in Spectre) were no doubt thrilled of the reaction that Spectre has received! I have to say I love what both ladies are wearing! It really was a night full of gorgeous dresses!

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry were all in attendance for the new Bond film, which has been chosen as the Royal Film Performance for 2015.

This is the second Royal Film Performance that the Duchess has attended. The first was in 2013 when she attended the "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom" premiere in December.

She wore the Roland Mouret Ella Gown and a Zara necklace for the occasion.

The Duchess looks absolutely stunning in a bespoke Jenny Packham gown.

The gown has a very daring sheer back!

The Duchess is carrying a new clutch also by Jenny Packham. I believe it is the Mini Casa Silver/Gold/Crystal Clutch which is available for £325.

The clutch also comes in a bigger size - the Casa Silver/Gold/Crystal Clutch which is available for £455.

She is wearing her Jimmy Choo Vamp Sandals.

The Duchess is wearing new earrings. They are Robinson Pelham's Pagoda Earrings which retail for £14,300.

It has to be one of my favourite looks for the Duchess.

Look elegant in a pale blue gown like Kate by wearing the Coast Lori Lee Gown. It is available for £185 and features the same sheer back and jewelled belt. Add a touch of sparkle by pairing it with the Coast Faith Sequin Minae Clutch which is £45. Finish off the look with a glittering pair of earrings like Accessorize Nova Semi Precious Earrings which are available for £19.

The screening is part of a creative industries-themed event by their Charities Forum, which is a collection of more than 30 organisations of which Prince William, Prince Harry and Kate are patrons of. It's aim is to bring their individual charitable interests together.

Earl & Countess of Strathearn in Dunedee.

The Earl and Countess of Strathearn, their official styles when in Scotland, made their first official visit to Dundee.

They spent last night at the Old Course Hotel in St Andrews. The couple met at St Andrews University, so it probably brought back some happy memories.

The couple were greeted by lots of well-wishers.

Today's visit focussed on the mental wellbeing of youngsters.

The couple visited The Corner where they participated in an anti-bullying workshop.

The Corner is funded in partnership by Dundee City Council and NHS Tayside and offered a range of physical and mental health services for young people.

The couple also visited Dundee Rep Theatre. They met families participating in the theatre's programmes.

Their final stop of the day was a visit to Abertay University when they met with student involved in BAFTA's Young Game Designers programme. Prince William is the President of BAFTA.
The Duchess of Cambridge wore a bespoke coat by Scottish designer Christopher Kane. She also wore a matching kilt underneath and a black roll-neck jumper.

A close-look at the fabric shows that it is a fine houndstooth print.

She also wore her Aquatalia Hi and Dry Stretch Platform Boots which are available for £415.

The Duchess carried her Muse clutch and black gloves.

She finished off the outfit with her diamond and sapphire drop earrings.

If you want to look smart in a royal blue coat then why not opt for the French Connection Jackson Long Sleeve Coat which is available for £180. Pair it with the Ted Baker Vione Silk-Blend Roll Neck Jumper for £89. For a kilt-like skirt then why not try the Ted Baker Noushka Large Scale Checked Skirt which is currently in the sale for £79.


I thought it was a very thorough and interesting visit today and it was nice to see the Duke and Duchess visit so many different places. I decided to finish with my favourite picture of the day - I love how in synch they are as a couple!
