Weekly Wrap-Up, 25th Mar 2017

A lot has happened on the Kate-front since the last Wrap-Up on 4th March.  The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge undertook their much-anticipated visit to Paris last weekend. As expected, there was a fair share of sartorial diplomacy on Kate's part as she blended the best of both British and French fashion.
