The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry cheered on runners in today's London Marathon.
Their mental health initiative, Heads Together was selected as this year's Marathon Charity of the year.
The royal trio officially started the 2017 Virgin Money London Marathon by pressing the big red button.
They got down among the crowd to support the runners.
And they also handed out bottles of water.
The Duchess wore a black Regatta Professional softshell jacket customized with the Heads Together logo.
It is the British brand's 'Print Perfect' style as identified by @loubou82 on Twitter. The product description states the jacket is ideal for print personalisation or embroidery. It is water repellent and wind resistant as well as quick drying. Features of the jacket include a full length zip, two front zip pockets and branding on back neck and zip pulls. It currently on sale at Amazon for US$27.45.
Under the jacket she wore her M.i.h Jeans 'Drew' Breton sweater.
The white/cobalt version of the top has sold out, but you can still get your hands on the 'Drew' Breton sweater in other colours from The Outnet where they have been reduced by 56%.
During the race, Kate popped on her Ray-Ban Folding Wayfarer Sunglasses.
She finished the look with her KIKI Lauren Yellow Gold Pave Diamond Leaf Earrings.

Today's surprise visit also come with a surprise in the sartorial department. Kate ditched her signature skinny jeans for a classic pair of bootcut trousers. Many of us have been hoping to see Kate professionalize her casual wear, and it looks like our prayers have been answered! This is a fashion breakthrough for the Duchess!

She teamed the tailored pants with black pointed-toe boots and a new cream knit sweater. Kate wore the Temperley London Cypre Pointelle Frill Top (US$550) - a slim-fit garment featuring a ruffled mock neck, tiered ruffled bodice and flared cuffs.
It is from the British designer's Pre-Fall 2017 collection and will be available in stores and online in June.

The Duchess of Cambridge hosted runners from the Heads Together team at Kensington Palace in the lead up to Sunday's London marathon.

The multi-striped sweater is by Luisa Spagnoli as identified by the small LS logo on the knit top, near Kate's left hip.
It is the Italian designer's 'Muvi' pullover (US$280) - a rib woolen knit top with scoop neck and long sleeves.
The Duchess added another Italian brand to her outfit, wearing her Superga 'Cotu Classic' sneakers.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge made their very first appearance with the Queen and other members of the British Royal Family for Easter Sunday service at St. George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle.

Kensington Palace announced that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge along with Prince Harry will cheer on runners in the upcoming London Marathon.

The palace released a new photo with the announcement (see above). At first glance, I thought it was taken on the same day as the campaign launch in April 2016 for which Kate wore her J.Crew 'Tippi' striped sweater:

After a double-take I realized Kate sported a different breton striped top. I initially thought it could be her Ralph Lauren 'Tori' top, but @Giulia_lelepug pointed out that the cuff is different. Here's a comparison of the two:
ID UPDATE (11 Apr 2017):
The top have been identified by copykate on eBay as the M.i.h Jeans 'Drew' Breton sweater. The marinière knit top by the London-based brand is rendered in a white and cobalt blue stripe. The £250 jumper is from the label's Pre-Autumn/Winter 2016 collection. 
The white/cobalt version has sold out, but you can still get your hands on the 'Drew' Breton sweater in other colours from The Outnet where they have been reduced by 56%.
Kate again wore her KIKI Lauren Yellow Gold Pave Diamond Leaf Earrings.
Heads Together was selected as this year's Marathon Charity of the year, and the royal trio will also attend several events supporting Heads Together in the lead up to the London Marathon on Sunday 23rd April. You'll find Kate's schedule of events here: katescloset.com.au/diary.html

The Daily Mail posted candid photos of the Duchess of Cambridge leaving her sister, Pippa Middleton‘s home in West London on Thursday.
Kate kept her style casual and teamed black skinny jeans with her Jonathan Saunders Deborah waffle-knit sweater that she first wore to rippa rugby in New Zealand in 2014.
On her feet were her white Superga 'Cotu' sneakers. The Duchess debuted them on the final day of the Canada tour last September. They are currently reduced to US$48.71 (down from US$64.95) at Nordstrom.
Kate also wore her trusty Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses.

The Duke & Duchess of Cambridge along with Prince Harry attended a Service of Hope at Westminster Abbey on April 5, following the London terror attack in Westminster on March 22.
The royal trio joined a 1,800 strong congregation of politicians, service personnel, victims and their families. Upon arrival at the Abbey, William laid a wreath at the Innocent Victims Memorial.
Following the somber service, the young royals met privately with families of those killed and injured in the attack, before meeting with first responders.
For the Service of Hope, Kate repeated the Missoni 'Long Snake Stitch Coat' she wore to last year's Battle of Somme vigil in France.
She also repeated her Sylvia Fletcher for Lock & Co. hat, a bespoke piece based on the milliner's ‘Salsa’ style.
Other familiar accessories included her Gianvito Rossi black suede pumps and the Queen’s Diamond Stud and Pearl Drop Earrings.
The only new addition to Kate’s outfit was her handbag. The Duchess carried the Beulah X Aspinal Blue Heart Clutch in black croc (£229.17) which has unfortunately sold out.
The piece is a collaboration between Beulah London and Aspinal of London for The Blue Heart Campaign. The charity project is an awareness raising initiative to fight human trafficking and its impact on society. 25% of the profits from the sale of each limited edition Blue Heart Clutch will be donated to the United Nations Blue Heart Campaign. You can still purchase the clutch in the signature blue heart print:
The design of the clutch is based on Aspinal's 'Mini Eaton' clutch which is available for US$440.

The Duchess of Cambridge attended the opening night of the Broadway musical 42nd Street at London's Theatre Royal Drury Lane this evening.
The stage show's West End revival is helping to raise money for East Anglia's Children's Hospices (EACH) and Kate attended in her role as Royal Patron of the charity.
The Duchess walked the red carpet in a new claret embellished tulle midi dress by Marchesa Notte (£1,105).
The stunning silk blend tulle dress is detailed with tactile lattice and rosette motifs. It is partially lined to create a sweetheart neckline, and the retro fit-and-flare design has a defined bead and crystal-embellished waist. The full, layered skirt is reinforced along the hem to hold its voluminous shape. The dress is currently available from Net-a-Porter, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Far Fetch.
This was a designer debut for Marchesa Notte in Kate's closet. The label was created by British designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig in 2006. I knew the brand would be a good fit for Kate because only a few weeks ago I pinned some of their gowns to the "Kate Might Wear" Pinterest board :) Here's a look at some of the other fabulous frocks from the line:
Kate also debuted a pair of eye-catching earrings.
They are the Kate Spade pretty poms tassel statement earrings (US$98). The oversized earrings are handcrafted from gold plated metal with sumac red silk thread and glass beads. The style is available at Kate Spade New York, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Shopbop, Zappos, and Lord & Taylor.
The Duchess accessorized with her cranberry suede Mulberry 'Bayswater' clutch bag and Gianvito Rossi 'Gianvito 105' Royale Burgundy Suede Pumps.
At the end of the show, Kate was invited on stage and she was presented with a pair of tap shoes.
Here's a final look at Kate leaving the theatre.

The Daily Mail posted candid photos of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge leaving Pippa Middleton‘s and her fiance, James Matthews' home in Kensington following a dinner party on Thursday night.
With Pippa and James' wedding in seven weeks, the royal couple joined James Middleton, James Mathews's brother Spencer, and his parents for a pre-wedding gathering.
Kate channeled a chic bohemian style, wearing a pretty printed frock from Somerset by Alice Temperley. She wore the label's black 'Peony' Off The Shoulder Dress (£99). The silhouette of the dress looks different on Kate because she opted to pull the shoulders up instead of wearing the 'off-the-shoulder' style.
Here's a look at the back of the dress and print detail.
The dress has sold out but the 'Peony' print is available in a range of designs, and also in white.
Kate accessorized the dress with a black skinny belt and black heels - most likely her Gianvito Rossi 'Gianvito 105' Black Suede Pumps.
