Kate in pink Rixo shirtdress for visit to Great Abaco on final day of Royal Tour Caribbean26/3/2022
On the last day of the Platinum Jubilee Royal Tour of the Caribbean, The Duke & Duchess of Cambridge travelled to Great Abaco, located in a chain of islands and barrier cays in the north of the Bahamas.
The Abaco Islands were left devastated by Hurricane Dorian in 2019, with more than 75% of all the homes on the island were either damaged or destroyed. The Duke and Duchess visited Daystar Evangelical Church to meet with people whose lives were shattered by Dorian.

This was followed by a remembrance service at Abaco’s Memorial Wall to honor the many people who lost their lives in the hurricane.
Afterwards, William and Kate meet locals and paid a visit to a Fish Fry – a quintessentially Bahamian culinary gathering place serving authentic local cuisine all throughout The Bahamas.
For their final joint engagement of the day, the Duke and Duchess visited The Grand Bahama Children's Home in Freeport, Bahamas. Since it was established in 1977 by the local community, the home has cared for over 900 children and provides a loving home environment to vulnerable children who are not able to live with their families.
Later, Prince William will make a solo visit to a nearby coral farm, and this evening the couple will board a flight bound for home.

Kate was a picture of elegance in a Phillipa Lepley satin gown for the black-tie event.
This is the first occasion we are seeing the Duchess in a garment by the London-based fashion designer. The dress is featured in Phillipa Lepley's couture bridal collection, and is known as the Vienna Crossover Turquoise Gown. The dress only uses one piece of bias satin that has been moulded over the bodice in a cross-over design, flowing into Phillipa’s signature shoulder bows, creating a bodice and skirt with side seams only.
Kate carried a new minaudière - the Lulu Guinness 'Hayworth' Clutch Bag in blue satin (£225). ID by @parkysprincess.
She accessorized with her Van Cleef & Arpels Magic Alhambra necklace and earrings.
The Duchess completed her fairytale look with a new "Cinderella" shoe - the Gianvito Rossi 'Rania 105' Pumps in Silver (£1,580), lavishly embellished with clusters of Swarovski crystals.
The Duke & Duchess of Cambridge had a packed itinerary on their first full day in the Bahamas on Day 7 of the Jubilee Platinum Royal Tour of the Caribbean.
The couple's first stop was the Sybil Strachan Primary School in Nassau where they sat in on a classroom before joining a morning assembly at the school, where the Duchess delivered a speech. They marked their visit by planting a tree.
Afterwards, Kate and William met crowds at the junkanoo street parade in Rawson Square. Junkanoo is a cultural dance and music celebration unique to The Bahamas that dates back hundreds of years.

Kate in ivory lace Alexander McQueen dress for military parade on Day 6 of Royal Tour Caribbean24/3/2022
The Duke & Duchess of Cambridge attended a commissioning parade at the Jamaican Defence Force on day six of the Platinum Jubilee Royal Tour of the Caribbean.
The inaugural Commissioning Parade is for service personnel across the Caribbean who have recently completed the Military Academy’s Officer Training Programme. Prince William, a former Household Calvary officer, wore his Blues and Royals No 1 Tropical dress.
The Duchess wore an ivory lace dress by Alexander McQueen. The bespoke design features a square neckline, floral lace overlay with scalloped trim, short and sheer puffed sleeves, and a ribbon waistband.
This photo offers a look at the back of the dress.
Many have noted its similarity to a dress The Queen wore at a 1954 garden party in Australia.
Kate elevated the formal look with a new saucer hat by Philip Treacy, featuring flowers on the top of the brim and underside.
She carried a new Anya Hindmarch 'Maud' Pearl-Embellished Satin Clutch bag in ivory (£395). The clutch is available to buy at Anya Hindmarch, Net-A-Porter, and Matches Fashion.
On her feet were a new pair of Emmy London 'Rebecca' pumps in Ivory (£415).

REPLI-KATE THE LOOK FOR LESS ...
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge bade farewell to Jamaica on the sixth day of the the Platinum Jubilee Royal Tour of the Caribbean.
The couple boarded their RAF Voyager plane from Norman Manley International Airport bound for the Bahamas for the final leg of the tour.
The Duchess choose an Emilia Wickstead repeat for the departure. She donned the green 'Denver' dress first seen at last year's Wimbledon Ladies Singles Final.
Kate paired it with the Jamaican Hummingbird Brooch, which was gifted to Queen Elizabeth II during Her Majesty's visit to the Caribbean island nation in 2002. It takes the form of the Jamaican National Doctor Bird, a species of hummingbird only found in Jamaica.
We saw the return of the Kiki Cushion Citrine Drops in Yellow Gold with what look to be new plain gold hoops. Kate usually pairs the drops with the KIKI diamond hoops as shown here.
They appear to be the Kiki Plain Hoops in Yellow Gold (£600).
On her feet were a new pair of Gianvito Rossi 105 pumps in the Bisque colourway ($695). ID by Middleton Maven.
We expect to see a mid-flight wardrobe change for the arrival into the Bahamas.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge touched down in The Bahamas this afternoon ahead of the third and final leg of the Platinum Jubilee Royal Tour of the Caribbean.
They were greeted by eight year old Aniah Moss who handed Kate a bunch of flowers, followed by a ceremonial welcome by members of the military at Lynden Pindling International Airport.
The couple then paid a courtesy call on Prime Minister Philip Davis and his wife at the PM's office in Nassau.

The Duchess honoured the national flag for her arrival into The Bahamas today, wearing an aquamarine dress by Emilia Wickstead.
The bespoke fit-and-flare dress features a bateau downturned neckline that appears in a style from Wickstead's FW22 collection.
Emilia Wickstead Rye Houndstooth Top FW22
Kate carried a matching aquamarine suede envelope clutch bag, possibly a custom piece made for the outfit.
She had on the same Gianvito Rossi 105 Pumps in Bisque from earlier today.
The Duchess debuted the Sézane 'Taylor' Earrings in Turquoise (£100).
Kate wore her up in a playful ponytail and accessorized with a pearl-embellished hairband.
Kate looks glamorous in green Jenny Packham gown for Governor General's reception in Jamaica23/3/2022
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attended a dinner hosted by the Governor General of Jamaica at King's House this evening.
The Duchess looked glamorous in an emerald green off-the-shoulder gown by Jenny Packham. Here's look at the dress from different angles.
The custom piece is based on the designer's 'Wonder' glitter tulle maxi dress ($5025).
There is also a similar illusion-neck style in black.
Tonight, The Duchess donned the Royal Family Order of Queen Elizabeth II, and the Star of the Royal Victorian Order (GCVO).
Kate wore emerald jewels from the royal collection.
According to Harper's Bazaar, the emeralds once belonged to Queen Mary's grandmother, and were made into jewelry at the request of Queen Mary for the Delhi Durbar. However, @britishroyaljewels believes the emerald tassel parure may have been a gift to The Queen from Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan of the United Arab Emirates, and was first worn by Her Majesty in 1989. It consists of a necklace, earrings, bracelet, and ring. Below we see The Queen wearing the emerald set in 2004 for a royal gala.
Tomorrow, The Duke and Duchess depart Jamaica to continue their third and final leg of the Caribbean royal tour in The Bahamas.
On the second day of their visit to Jamaica, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge made a courtesy call this morning to the Office of the Prime Minister, Andrew Holness.
The couple were welcomed by the PM, his wife Juliet, as well as Cabinet Ministers, and the Permanent Secretary Audrey Sewell.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge set off for Jamaica from Belize earlier today for the second leg of their Platinum Jubilee Royal Tour of the Caribbean.
The Duchess looked chic in a red and white ensemble for the departure from Philip S. W Goldson International Airport.
Kate wore a vintage bright red Yves Saint Laurent belted jacket she reportedly bought while studying at the University of St Andrews two decades ago.
There is a silk-rayon blend version of the YSL safari jacket at 1stDibs.com. Kate's piece appears to be made from a silk faille stripe fabric.
The white pants appear to be the Alexander McQueen crepe tailored trousers (£590), as suggested by @bojanana.
The Duchess carried her Mulberry Small Amberley Crossbody Bag in White Grain Leather.
On her feet were a new pair of white leather heels - the Aquazzura 'Cece' 105mm pumps (£605). ID by @cambridg_sussex.
Kate added the Anthropologie Coral Shell Drop Earrings (€55) featuring a baroque pearl (ID by @KateMiddStyle).
She also accessorized with her Halcyon Days 'Maya Torque' Aquamarine and Gold Bangle.
And finally, a look at Kate's pulled back hair style.
Following their departure, Kensington Palace released footage of the Duke and Duchess scuba diving at South Water Caye on the Belize Barrier Reef on Sunday. The couple highlighted the need to protect this incredible marine environment.
Following the official welcome to Jamaica, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge headed to Trench Town in the capital city of Kingston.
Kate made her third wardrobe change of the day, and stepped out in a vintage coral & turquoise print dress.
This eye-catching 1950's dress featuring a matching shawl was available at the Willow Hillson Vintage boutique (found by @Heaven_LeeM). The print is a vibrant striped palette of turquoise blue, coral, and yellow with a black filigree pattern. The original design had thin shoulder straps, but we suspect The Duchess had her skilled dressmaker use fabric from the shawl to create thicker straps.
On her feet were Russell & Bromley's 'Impulse' slingback pumps in natural raffia (£195). ID by @innominate_93.
We saw the return of the gold Maria Black 'Cha Cha' Earrings.
The Duchess kept on the gold-tone Steelz and Mantraz 'She's Royal' cuff bracelet from earlier today.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrived in Jamaica from Belize today for the second leg of the Platinum Jubilee Royal Tour of the Caribbean.
The couple received a ceremonial welcome at Norman Manley International Airport before heading to meet the Governor General of Jamaica Sir Patrick Allen and wife Lady Allen at Kings House.
The Duchess arrived wearing a yellow Roksanda dress - a sartorial nod to the Jamaican flag.
The design is a modified version of the label's 'Brigitte' bow-shoulder crepe midi dress shown below in marigold (£1,095).
She kept on the white Aquazzura 'Cece' 105mm pumps from earlier today.
Kate however swapped the Mulberry Small Amberley bag for a vintage Salvatore Ferragamo Vara bow clutch in white. Kate Middleton Style was able to find the past-season style in black.
She also added a new pair of earrings - the Sézane Celeste's. ID by Kate Middleton Style.
Kate finished the look with a new gold-tone cuff bracelet from local Jamaican jeweller, Steelz and Mantraz by Lashawndla Bailey-Miller.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited the spectacular Mayan site of Caracol in western Belize on the third day of a Platinum Jubilee Royal Tour of the Caribbean.
The couple learnt about the history of the ancient Mayan archaeological site located in the Chiquibul Forest, and climbed to the top of the country's tallest man-made structure - known as the 'sky palace'.

This was followed by a visit to the British Army Training Support Unit (BATSUB) at the Chiquibul Forest Reserve, in Good Living Camp. BATSUB delivers tropical environment training to troops from the UK alongside international partners.
