On Sunday, Kensington Palace released a video of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge along with Prince Harry to launch the #HeadsTogether mental health campaign.

Heads Together is a new campaign which brings together seven charities focused on mental health: Mind, CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably), Place2Be, YoungMinds, The Mix, Best Beginnings, and Contact (two members of which are Help for Heroes and Combat Stress). The campaign is backed by The Royal Foundation of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry.

Heads Together is the 2017 Virgin Money London Marathon Charity of the Year and will have a team running in next year's marathon. The video features the royal trio and runners representing all the charity partners and was shot outside Kensington Palace on April 21.
In the video, Kate donned her trademark casual look and wore a new Breton stripe jumper paired with skinny jeans.  The breton top is the J.Crew 'Tippi' striped sweater with shoulder buttons (US$85).  The merino wool sweater is finished with button details at the shoulder.

The 'Tippi' sweater is a signature style of the J.Crew collection and it is available in a rainbow of colours and patterns.

IKON Pictures shared this image on Twitter of the royal trio leaving Kensington Palace en route to Windsor Castle.

From the limited photo it looks like Kate is wearing a new green lace dress. The What Kate Wore community have suggested it may be by Temperley London because the lace details look very similar to the designer's 'Amoret' gown.

Here's a closer look at the lace detail of the new dress compared to the 'Amoret' gown.

Royal Tour Day 7: Kate in Naeem Khan for poignant visit to Taj Mahal

18/4/2016

It was a special day for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, visiting the Taj Mahal on the last stop of their royal tour.

The Taj Mahal is one of the iconic symbols of India, and also the place of one of the most memorable photos of Prince William's mother, the late Princess of Wales.
Embed from Getty Images

It was a poignant moment for Prince William to visit 24 years on from Diana's solo trip to the 'monument of love'. ​With Kate by his side, the Prince posed on the same bench as his mother, capturing the sentiment of the visit.

Following the photo opportunity, William and Kate had a private tour of the historic mausoleum.

For this special occasion, Kate wore a white dress with blue embroidered motif from American fashion designer Naeem Khan. Born in Mumbai, India, Khan is known for his intricately hand-beaded and embroidered dresses. 
Embed from Getty Images

Picture
Kate wore a sheath dress from Khan's Resort 2015 line, however the dress has been modified when you compare it to the off-the-rack version shown on the model below. Kate's dress is slightly longer with an extra panel of embroidery at the hem.  This suggests the dress is a bespoke piece.
Picture
On her feet were trademark nude high heels; the LK Bennett 'Fern' pumps.
Picture
Kate accessorized with an interesting choice of earrings. She wore the pretty blue US$7 earrings she purchased from a Bhutanese craft market during her hike to Tiger's Nest yesterday.

She also wore her signature Ray Bay wayfarer sunglasses.

Always the fashion diplomat, Kate's final outfit of the tour combined a dress by an Indian-born designer with shoes by a UK brand and earrings from Bhutan. She absolutely nailed it!
