It was first worn in 2011 when the newly engaged couple visit St Andrews. It was then worn again in New Zealand in 2014. It was worn most recently in 2015 for an official photograph to mark the Duke of Edinburgh passing on his RAF Cadets patronage to the Duchess.

Kate teamed the skirt suit with the Gianvito Rossi Pumps in Black Suede.

She carried the Mulberry Bayswater Clutch in Black Suede.

Kate accessories with the Mappin & Webb Empress Pendant and the Mappin & Webb Empress Earrings.

Look stylish in a plum skirt which can go from day to night in the most elegant way. This Chic Wish Full A-Line Midi Skirt in Violet is the perfect addition to any wardrobe and will add a splash of colour to an ordinary outfit.

Today is also a very important day for Her Majesty The Queen. The Duchess reached her Sapphire Jubilee today. The Queen has been on the throne for 65years as today marks the tragic anniversary of her father's death. In honour of this occasion Buckingham Palace reissued a portrait by David Bailey which was taken in 2014. The Queen can be seen wearing a sapphire jewellery set which was given to her by King George VI as a wedding present.

The Duchess wore the Perfect Moment Mini Duvet II Jacket.

She also wore the New Balance x SB Exclusive Trainers.

The Duchess wore a new pair of earrings. They are the Asprey 167 Button Earrings.

The Duchess has worn the Asprey 167 Button Pendant on many occasions and so it came as quite a surprise that today was the first time we have seen the matching earrings!

It was a sporty and casual look from the Duchess but it worked well for the engagement.

Wrap up against the cold in a quilted jacket like the Duchess. This jacket is just as effortlessly stylish, and just as bright, as Kate's but it is also much more affordable. The New Look Red Fitted Padded Puffer Jacket will keep you nice and toasty in the February chill!

Duchess Visits Norfolk Children's Hospice...

The Duchess visited her patronage EACH (East Anglia's Children's Hospices) in Quidenham today.

Kate was greeted by large crowds and lots of children - some of whom had created some rather cute drawings for the Duchess.

Kate went to see how the fundraising was going for the Nook Appeal a new purpose-built hospice in Norfolk.

Kate helped launch the Nook Appeal in 2014.

Kate toured the current facilities and met families who use the services on offer at the hospice. She then took part in an art therapy session.

Kate looked sophisticated in a Hobbs Sinead Jacket & Skirt Suit.

She teamed the skirt suit with the Gerard Darel Josephine Blouse. She wore the collar on the outside of the jacket which I thought was a nice touch and lifted the whole outfit.

She also wore the Gianvito Rossi Pumps in Black Suede.

She carried the Mulberry Bayswater Clutch.

She completed the look with the Kiki McDonough Morganite & Diamond Cushion Drop Earrings.

Copy Kate
Cut a sophisticated look in an elegant blouse like the Duchess in the Victoriana Blouse by Glamorous Petites which is available from Topshop. It has similar tie details but is only £24 - much more affordable!

Royal Trio for Heads Together Engagement...

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry attended their first engagement of 2017 as a trio today. They attended a briefing at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in Carlton House Terrace on behalf of their mental health campaign - Heads Together.

They will focus on mental health and de-stigmatising the issue again in 2017.

They each gave a speech at today's engagement which you can read here.

Kate wore the Erdem Evita Printed Matelassé Dress today. I loved this dress and think it will be a piece we see on a number of engagements in the future as it is an ideal day-night piece.

She wore the Tod's Fringed Leather Pumps and carried the Mulberry Bayswater Clutch.

Kate completed the look with the Oscar de la Renta Hammered Gold-Plated Faux Pearl Earrings.

It was a polished and sophisticated look from the Duchess today and I absolutely loved it!

Copy Kate
Look elegant in a floral print shift dress like Kate. There are a few options for this. The Marks & Spencer's Embroidered Floral Half Sleeve Shift Dress is a beautiful high-street option and retails for £89. It features delicate multicoloured embroidery in similar colours as the Erdem dress.

There is also the high-end high street option. The Goat Venus Print Dress is a beautiful option but more expensive at £520, however not quite as much as the Erdem dress which retails for around £735.

Both of these dresses would be lovely additions to any wardrobe and would add a pop of subtle colour and print.

Copy Kate:
If you want to look regal in a bold blue look then why not try the Reiss Elle Knot-Front Dress in Sapphire. This stylish blue dress features a similar skirt and sleeve length as Kate's option but at a much more affordable price of £180.  It is a real investment piece as it will transition between the seasons. Team with navy accessories in Winter and nude or blush accessories in the Summer.
