The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge undertook a set of Commonwealth-themed engagements today in London. This was Kate's last official outing before she begins maternity leave ahead of the arrival of Baby Cambridge #3.
Kate and William's first stop today was at the Copper Box in London's Olympic Park for a SportsAid event, a charity which helps aspiring young athletes.

The couple then visited St Luke's Community centre to see preparations for a Commonwealth Big Lunch.
Kate ditched her usual coat and dress combination today in favour of a smart-casual look, a fitting choice for the day's informal activities. She wore her Goat 'Redgrave' coat atop a new floral patterned blouse by Hobbs. It is the 'Rosie' blouse (£79.00) currently on sale at the following retailers:
Hobbs (£49.00) | House of Fraser (£44.10) | Debenham (£44.10) | John Lewis (£49.00)
It's been suggested that Kate's black jeggings are the Seraphine Slim Leg Black Maternity Jeans (£49). We are waiting on confirmation.
Kate carried her beloved Mulberry 'Bayswater' clutch which she complemented with her Stuart Weitzman 'Power' Pumps.
She also wore her trusty Cartier Ballon Bleu Watch.
The Duchess finished the look with her classic Annoushka Pearl and Kiki Diamond Hoop Earrings.
The next time we see Kate she will have a new baby in her arms! It's still unknown if she will have a home birth or return to the Lindo Wing. Regardless of what the Duke & Duchess decide, I wish them all the best for the safe arrival of their new prince or princess!

REPLIKATE THE LOOK FOR LESS ...

Today The Duchess of Cambridge and The Royal Foundation hosted a symposium on early intervention, to provide social and emotional support for children in their early years.
The event brought together academics, researchers, practitioners, educators and charities to discuss perinatal, maternal and infant mental health; parenting support; and resources for schools.
Kate looked the picture of Springtime perfection in a bespoke green coat with a bow detail at the collar by Jenny Packham, worn over a mint dress.
She teamed it with her Gianvito Rossi 'Gianvito 85' Praline Suede Pumps and Loeffler Randall Tab Blush Lizard-Effect Leather Clutch.
Kate accessorized with her seldom worn Kiki Green Amethyst Cushion & Diamond Earrings. She has only worn them on two other occasions back in early 2014.
We will see the Duchess again tomorrow when she joins Prince William for events celebrating the Commonwealth.
REPLIKATE THE LOOK FOR LESS ...
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge joined the Irish Guards at Cavalry Barracks in Hounslow today for the annual St. Patrick's Day parade.
Kate presented shamrocks to members of the regiment.
The Duchess also gave one to the Irish Guards mascot, Domhnall - an Irish wolfhound.
Kate was on point in her bespoke green Catherine Walker coat which she debuted in Stockholm, Sweden earlier this year.
Once again, she paired it with her Troy London faux-fur collar (£65) and cuffs (£40).
Kate restyled the look from Stockholm with her beautiful Gina Foster 'Meribel' felt beret hat (£535), which she also wore to the 2014 parade.
She carried her Mulberry 'Bayswater' clutch, and on her feet she wore her trusty Tod's block heel suede pumps. The Duchess kept her hands warm with her Cornelia James 'Alice' gloves (£70).
Kate wore her dazzling Kiki McDonough 'Special Edition' Green Tourmaline, Green Amethyst and Diamond Earrings. The look wouldn't be complete without the gold three-leaf shamrock brooch, pinned just above her sprig of shamrock. The piece belongs to the Irish Guards who loan it to Kate for the occasion.
And finally, I closer look at Kate's elegant up-do.
Green has been the colour of choice for Kate for this traditional event, except for when she surprised us in 2015 by wearing a chestnut brown ensemble. You may recall that the Duchess intentionally missed the 2016 parade which caused backlash from the public and the media.

The Duchess of Cambridge today met with Judy Murray, Tim Henman, and representatives from British Tennis, Wimbledon, and Coach Core to discuss children's tennis initiatives in the UK and access to the sport at the grassroots level.

Kate wore her nude GOAT 'Redgrave' coat for today’s discussion at Kensington Palace.
She debuted it during her first pregnancy in 2013 for an engagement with Prince William at Child Bereavement UK, and repeated the look last November at the Hornsey Road Children's Centre.
Unfortunately there are no other photos from this engagement so we are unable to provide any further outfit details.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge joined The Queen, Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and senior members of the Royal Family this afternoon at Westminster Abbey for a multi-faith service to observe Commonwealth Day.
KATE'S OUTFIT
COAT: Beulah London 'Chiara' Coat (repeat).
JEWELLERY: Queen's floral earrings and matching brooch. The earrings debuted last month when Kate wore them at the Royal Foundation Forum.
The earrings and matching brooch were gifted to the Queen by her parents King George VI and Queen Elizabeth in 1945 when she was 19 years old. Below is a photo of Her Majesty wearing the set in 1948 while holding an infant Prince Charles.

The Duchess of Cambridge stepped out in London today to officially open Place2Be's new headquarters in her role as Patron of the children’s mental health charity. The centre will allow more counsellors, teachers and school leaders to be trained and provide a new home for the charity's research and evaluation teams.
Kate repeated the blue Seraphine 'Marlene' maternity cocktail dress for the visit, just weeks after she wore it to lunch with the Norwegian royals at the palace in Oslo.
The Duchess complemented the dress' black velvet accents with black suede accessories. She carried her Mulberry 'Bayswater' Clutch and Stuart Weitzman 'Power' Pumps.
Kate finished the outfit with her beloved Sapphire & Diamond Oval Drop Earrings which were a gift from Prince William and originally owned by the late Princess Diana.

The Duchess of Cambridge visited Pegasus Primary School in Oxford today to learn more about the work of Family Links. The charity works closely with schools nationwide to support both children and parents with their emotional health and wellbeing, with an emphasis on early intervention.
The Duchess stepped out in a familiar look today.
She wore her cream JoJo Maman Bébé princess line maternity coat first worn in March 2015 when she visited the set of Downton Abbey while pregnant with Princess Charlotte.
The collarless coat is made from a wool/viscous blend and features a tonal single breasted button front. It's still available in very limited sizes on Amazon.
Kate contrasted the light hue with brown suede accessories. She carried her chocolate Emmy 'Natasha' clutch and on her feet were brown pointed-toe pumps, believed to be the 'Pinpoint' style by Russell and Bromley.
She also accessorized with her Annoushka Pearl and Kiki Diamond Hoop Earrings.
Kate finished the outfit with her trusty Ballon Bleu de Cartier Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch.
We will see the Duchess again tomorrow for the official opening of Place2Be's London headquarters.

Kate braves London snow in Victorian-inspired Orla Kiely dress for Portrait Gallery exhibition1/3/2018
The Duchess of Cambridge braved the London snow last night and stepped out for an engagement at the National Portrait Gallery.
Kate was at the gallery to preview of the Victorian Giants: The Birth of Art Photography exhibit in her role as patron.
Despite the freezing temperatures, Kate didn't cover up with a coat. She instead revealed a new black patterned dress by Orla Kiely. The piece is the designer's Leith X Orla Kiely 'Margaret' Smock Bib Floral Print Dress (£490). It is from the L’Orla Resort 2018 capsule collection, done in collaboration with stylist Leith Clark.
Cut to a flattering figure-skimming fit and constructed from mid-weight viscose fabric, the dress features an eye-catching floral print throughout. It has Victorian-era elements such as a high neckline with a soft velvet band, and a smock front panel with ruched detailing and a soft velvet trim. The velvet trim continues around the ruffled long sleeves. A duster hemline finishes the design. It was an apt choice for tonight's exhibition focused on Victorian art.
Kate picked up on the blush coloured accents on the dress and opted to accessorize with her Gianvito Rossi Gianvito 105 Praline Suede Pumps and recently acquired Jimmy Choo 'Celeste' Suede Clutch.
Kate finished the outfit with her dazzling Kiki McDonough pink tourmaline and green amethyst drops. Coincidentally, Kate first wore the £8,900 earrings at the Portrait Gala in March last year which was also held at the National Portrait Gallery.
There's no slowing down for the Duchess next week. She has two engagements, one on Tuesday where she will visit the Pegasus Primary School in Oxford, and on Wednesday Kate will officially open the Place2Be's new London headquarters.
