New candid photos have emerged of Kate and Prince George at Houghton International Horse trials over the weekend. The trails were held at Houghton Hall, located only a few miles from their country home at Anmer Hall in Norfolk. On Saturday, the Duchess was pictured holding Prince George beside James Meade, a close friend of the Cambridges.

Kate was in her signature casual style. She wore her Ralph Lauren 'Tori' breton top with a navy sweater around her shoulders. She kept her feet cosy and dry in a pair of Le Chameau 'Vierzon' leather lined wellington boots.
Kate wore grey skinny jeans which could be the same pair she wore for the Tigers Nest hike in Bhutan.
The Duchess had her hair down but pulled back with a leopard print headband.
On Sunday, Kate was back on the grounds of Houghton for another day of eventing. Below we see Kate holding Prince George's hand, and it's highly likely the little girl in the pink tights is Princess Charlotte. Nanny Maria was also with them, and Laura Meade (wife of james Meade) is seen pushing the pram.

The Duchess was in another familiar look, similar to the one she wore for the volunteer training day with the UK scouts.
The outfit consists of her Barbour 'Linhope' featherweight jacket, skinny blue jeans and Le Chameau 'Vierzon' leather lined wellington boots.
Prince George wore his navy Joules Baby Milford Quilted Jacket, Converse Kids Chuck Taylors, and a new navy stripe sweater from Next.

There have been a couple new official photographs circulating on social media these past few days. It started with this solo portrait of Kate which was initially posted on Twitter by Stephen Connor while he attended the International Children’s Palliative Care Conference.
The Duchess sent a message of support to the Conference which was published on the E Hospice website along with the portrait.
Yesterday, we saw another new official portrait, this one of Kate and William together. Photographer Paul Ratcliffe twitted photos of a 'thank you' card he received from the Palace in response to a letter he sent congratulating William and Kate on their fifth anniversary.
The new photographs are by Chris Jelf who you may recall took the family portrait used for last year's Cambridge Christmas card.
In the new photos, Kate premiered an ivory tweed jacket by Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti (ID by Melissa J via What Kate Wore Facebook page).
The cotton/linen blend tweed blazer features a single-breasted silhouette with Peter Pan collar, front patch pockets, dart seaming, and 3/4 sleeves. It is trimmed with applied ribbon detailing at the collar, sleeves, front placket and the pockets.
Philosophy is a diffusion line of Italian designer Alberta Ferretti. The jacket is from the label's Resort 2013 collection and had a RRP of US$695. It was also available in navy and pink.
The brand also offered a matching pleated mini skirt.
This is the first occasion we have seen Kate wear a piece by Philosophy, although it has been in her closet for sometime! Philosophy was founded in 1984 by Alberta Ferretti, offering quality craftsmanship and elegant styles at a moderate price point. In 2014, the label appointed Lorenzo Serafini as Creative Director and the diffusion line aptly changed its name to Philosophy by Lorenzo Serafini. You can still find the original Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti range at retail outlets such as YOOX and Barney's Warehouse.
Kate paired the jacket with her Whistles Lina Dobby Skirt first seen in Los Angeles during the 2011 North American tour.
Here's a closer look at the pleat detail, supplied by @hernameispekka.
Kate also wore her Kiki Morganite Cushion Drop & Diamond Earrings.

Last week, Great Plains reissued their popular 'Cezanne' pleated dress in a new colourway. This move has paid off for the British boutique retailer because the Duchess of Cambridge was recently spotted sporting the new frock!
The candid photo of the Duchess was taken by a London-based photo-journalist and posted to their twitter account @PoliticalPics. They took the photo as they were casually walking past Kensington Palace. The image shows Kate with Prince George as he plays on a police motorcycle.
You may recall that Kate already owns the 'Cezanne' style in 'winter pink' and 'pine needle green'.
Great Plains describes the new colour as 'Ebony Navy Combo'. The £75.00 dress features a round neckline with cap sleeves and has precision pleating from the waist to the hemline. It is finished with a matching belt.
The dress is currently available in all sizes (at time of publishing). Shop now >

After joining the Queen for the first time at the Chelsea Flower Show yesterday, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were back by her side this afternoon for Her Majesty's last garden party of the season.
The garden parties are a staple on the royal calendar with Her Majesty hosting a few each year on the grounds of Buckingham Palace. This was the first garden party William and Kate had attended together.
Kate has attended solo on past occasions, making this her fourth appearance. For her first attendance in 2012, Kate opted for a repeat and wore her pink Emilia Wickstead 'Alice' pleated dress. In 2013, she was pregnant with Prince George and debuted a yellow Emilia Wickstead coat. In 2014, she brought back the Alexander McQueen champagne lace dress.
Today, she decided to repeat the cream Alexander McQueen ruffle dress she wore for Prince George's christening.
The bespoke piece features a statement ruffle jacket and a matching A-line skirt. It was based on a leaf crepe coat dress previously seen among the Spring/Summer 2012 McQueen collection.
Kate accessorized her two-piece ensemble with the same Jane Taylor 'Georgie' hat.
Other familiar accessories included her Annoushka Pearl and Kiki Diamond Hoop Earrings and LK Bennett 'Nina' clutch.
On her feet were a new pair of taupe suede pumps.
They are yet to be identified, but What Kate Wore has suggested the 'Gianvito 105' style by Gianvito Rossi. There a few options available in a similar hue.
You may recall that Kate already owns the 'Gianvito 105' pumps in Royale Burgundy suede and black suede. I'll keep you posted if we ever get a definitive ID.
ID UPDATE (15/06/2016):
I've been in contact with Gianvito Rossi and they have confirmed that Kate wears their Gianvito 105 suede pumps in 'Praline'. This is the official name of the colour. Stockists such as Net-a-Porter have renamed the shade in their description, hence the confusion. All the shoes above are actually the same hue!

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge made their first visit to the Royal Chelsea Flower Show this evening as they joined the Queen and several other members of the royal family at the annual floral festival.
A Kensington Palace spokesman said the couple's previous absences was mainly due to 'diary issues' but added: 'This year the diary has worked out fine and especially in the Queen's 90th year, Their Royal Highnesses were keen to join her.'
William and Kate were joined by Prince Harry at the National Chrysanthemum Society exhibit where on display was the new pink and green Rossano Charlotte bloom, named after their daughter, Princess Charlotte.

The pretty green tipped pink flower is on sale at Waitrose supermarket outlets, with half the profits going towards East Anglian Children's Hospice (EACH) - of which Kate is patron.

The royal trio also made a humbling visit to the 5000 Poppies Garden at the show. I'm particular proud of this exhibit because it originates from my home city of Melbourne. The tribute features 320,000+ individually crocheted poppies and honours those who have served their country in wars and conflicts. You can read more about the impressive installation here.
Also in attendance at this evening's preview was the Countess of Wessex who was aptly dressed in an elegant Alexander McQueen floral ruffle dress. Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice were also present and looked pretty in fit-and-flare silhouettes.
I had a hunch the Duchess would repeat an outfit today, however I thought she might wear her Suzannah Green Budding Heart Silk Tea Dress. Due to the cool temperatures this evening, Kate opted to wear her Catherine Walker grass-green coatdress.
Kate first wore the coat for a visit to the National Arboretum in Canberra, Australia during the 2014 Royal Tour. Coincidentally, she did wear the Suzannah 'Budding Heart' tea dress under the coat in 2014, so there's a good chance she may have also worn it tonight!
The coat is a bespoke piece that fuses design elements of the Catherine Walker 'Evelyn' coatdress and the 'Lara' coat. Both are fabricated from Venetian wool and it is evident that the piece combines the zip scuba collar and bodice of the 'Lara' with the full skirt of the 'Evelyn' including the hand pick stitching and belt.
Kate accessorized with her new favorite combination of LK Bennett 'Fern' trench leather pumps and matching 'Nina' trench clutch.
She wore her KIKI 'Lauren' Yellow Gold Diamond Pave Leaf Earrings.
As well as her Ballon Bleu de Cartier Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch.

Earlier in the day, the Duchess sent a letter in support of Children’s Hospice Week which officially began today.

Today, the Duchess of Cambridge was in Portsmouth to learn about projects inspiring young people to take up sailing. Catherine visited the headquarters of 1851 Trust, a charity of which she is Royal Patron.
The 1851 Trust is the affiliate charity of Land Rover Ben Ainslie Racing (BAR), the British sailing team aiming to win the America’s Cup. Today, Kate helped launch the Trust’s two flagship sailing projects in partnership with UKSA and the Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation. She met people involved in the project, which aims to encourage young people from diverse backgrounds to pursue sailing as a sport.
She then opened the new Tech Deck education centre at the facility.
For today's visit, Kate wore her military-inspired Alexander McQueen separates, first seen during a visit to the Summerfield Community Centre in August 2011, and again for a visit to Bletchley Park in June 2014.
Both the blouse and skirt are from the Alexander McQueen Pre-Fall 2011 collection. The Military Silk Georgette Blouse features navy trim detailing, gold button-fastening and a peplum hem. It retailed for £795. The navy Embellished Wool Crepe Skirt has directional front slits and gold tone decorative button front. It retailed for £580.
The navy and white combination of today's outfit was a conventional choice. Kate has donned traditional nautical colours for her past 1851 Trust engagements.
Today, the Duchess carried her navy Jaeger quilted leather clutch.
On her feet were the Rupert Sanderson 'Malory' Navy Suede Pumps.
She finished the look with her Sapphire & Diamond Oval Drop 'Diana' Earrings.
After her time at the new Tech Centre, the Duchess went for a high-speed sail with Ben Ainslie and some of his crew.
For her session on the water, Kate changed into technical gear by Henri Lloyd - the official outfitters of the Land Rover Ben Ainslie Racing team.
She sported a new pair of Adidas 'Pure Boost X' running shoes (US$119.95) in Black with 'Shock Green' laces. The lightweight training shoes are equipped with the Adidas signature Boost foam properties and have a soft, sock-like upper that is designed to hug the foot.
Following her stint on the water, Kate made another wardrobe change for her trip home. The Daily Mail posted photos of Kate leaving the Land Rover BAR headquarters wearing a casual all-black outfit.

The Daily Mail suggests Kate wore the J.Crew 'Cambridge' cable crewneck sweater (US$88.00), however judging by the size of the cable knit and ribbing I don't think this is correct.
Kate's sweater is consistent with a Ralph Lauren design. Below we show three possible options from Ralph Lauren's various lines:
We may never know which style Kate wore, but if i had to put my money on one, I would say it's the Ralph Lauren POLO Slim Cable Cashmere Sweater. What do you think?

Today, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry were at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in east London to attend the launch of Heads Together - a new campaign to end mental health stigma.
Heads Together is the biggest project the royal trio have undertaken together and will see them working in partnership with a number of mental health charities, including Kate's patronage, Place2be.
For the launch, Kate donned a new skirt by American fashion retailer, Banana Republic - a brand we have never seen her wear before.
She wore the label's Geo Jacquard Midi Skirt (US$138), featuring a geometric pattern in a mix of navy, teal and white. The a-line midi skirt has a pleat at the front and is rendered in jacquard cotton.
Kate paired the skirt with the Goat Fashion 'Binky' blouse in cream (£290) - also a new addition to her closet.
She supplemented the ensemble with navy suede accessories. Kate carried her LK Bennett 'Fromme' clutch, and on her feet were the Rupert Sanderson 'Malory' pumps.
She finished the look with her Sapphire & Diamond Oval Drop 'Diana' Earrings and Cartier Ballon Bleu watch.

This evening, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge joined the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh and other royals at the Royal Windsor Horse Show for a pageant celebrating Her Majesty's 90th birthday.
The star-studded performance held in the grounds of Windsor Castle, celebrated Her Majesty's love of horses, her dedication to the Commonwealth and international affairs and her deep involvement with the Navy, Army and Air Force.
There were 900 horses and more than 1,500 people taking part to chronicle the Queen's birth, through to World War Two, her marriage, the Coronation and a reign of more than 60 years.
Kate wore a new ensemble consisting of a red Zara jacket (ID by @MorelMlany ) and white Dolce & Gabbana lace dress (ID by @MiddletonMaven).
The red Zara Blazer With Back Pleat (US$99) is cut with a swing silhouette and features a Peter Pan collar, two oversized buttons, besom pockets and a back pleat.
This midi dress is crafted from cotton-blend lace with sheer sleeves, and features a nipped-in waist and tiered skirt. It comes with a smooth satin slip for coverage.
The Duchess accessorized with the Queen's diamond chandelier earrings, which she has now loaned on a few occasions, and most recently for the Diplomatic Reception.
Kate carried her Prada black satin clutch with stone embellishment (US$1470) and a solid black shawl scarf (unidentified).
A reminder that tomorrow, William, Kate & Harry will launch their new mental health initiative Heads Together with their partner charities at Olympic Park.

This evening, the Duchess of Cambridge attended the Vogue 100: A Century of Style exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery (NPG). This followed a busy a day of engagements at Hampton Court and her patronage, the Anna Frued Centre.
Kate appears on the cover of British Vogue's centenary issue, and as patron of the NPG she also agreed for two images from the shoot to be installed within the exhibition. Photographed by Josh Olins in the Norfolk countryside, Kate features in a 10-page shoot within the June 2016 issue, the first magazine shoot that she has ever consented to.
This evening marked the first time the Duchess had seen the portraits.
The exhibition features more than 280 prints commissioned by British Vogue since it was founded in 1916. It tells the story of one of the most influential fashion magazines in the world.
Kate continued the Downunder Tour recycling theme from earlier today. She re-wore her powder pink Alexander McQueen pleated peplum dress which she premiered during the Australian leg of the royal tour in 2014.
The Duchess added a touch of glamour to the ensemble with her dazzling Monica Vinader 'Riva' Diamond Cluster bib necklace and matching earrings.
She wore the same LK Bennett accessories from earlier today which consisted of the 'Fern' trench leather pumps and matching 'Nina' frame clutch bag.
She finished the look with her Cartier Ballon Bleu Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch.

It was a busy day for the Duchess of Cambridge with a line up of engagements. Her first stop was at Hampton Court Palace to unveil their newest attraction, The Magic Garden.
The attraction is an enchanted themed children's play area featuring a 25 foot-long sleeping dragon, colourful turrets, battlements and a secret grotto.
The garden has been designed by the award-winning landscape architect of RHS Chelsea, Robert Myers and is built in King Henry VIII’s former tiltyard (a courtyard used for jousting practice and tournaments). It draws inspiration from the Tudor Court, allowing youngsters to learn about Hampton Court’s history while they play.
For the occasion, Kate wore her blue twill Michael Kors swing coat.
She debuted the piece by the American designer during the Royal tour of Australia in 2014.
Under the coat, we got a glimpse of the Roksanda Ilincic 'Peridot' Shift Dress.
This is the third occasion Kate has publicly worn the dress. It premiered in 2011 during the North America tour, and she repeated it for the GREAT Campaign reception in 2012.
On her feet were the LK Bennett 'Fern' trench leather pumps.
She carried a new frame clutch by LK Bennett. It is the 'Nina' style, also in trench leather to match her shoes. It is from an upcoming collection and you can add your name to the wait list.
The Duchess' second event of the day was a luncheon with the Anna Freud Centre. This was her first engagement as the newly appointed patron of the charity.
Kate first visited the centre in September last year to gain an insight into the provision of alternative education for children with mental health issues.
For the lunch reception at Spencer House, Kate removed her Michael Kors coat to reveal the 'Peridot' dress and Cartier Ballon Bleu Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch.
Later today, Kate will attend the Vogue 100 exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery (NPG). As patron of the NPG, Kate stars on the cover of the magazine's centenary issue and also agreed for two images from the shoot to be installed within the exhibition.
