NEWS

A lot has happened on the Kate-front since the last Wrap-Up on 8 July 2017.  The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge undertook their much-anticipated visit to Poland and Germany, and as expected there was a fair share of sartorial diplomacy on Kate's part as she blended the best of British, Polish and German fashion.
