After seeing the Hold Still portraits on display, The Duke and Duchess met with NHS workers at St Bartholomew’s Hospital, three of which were featured in the final 100 images for their image 'All in this together'.

It is a custom piece by Alexander McQueen featuring a double-breasted front, peaked lapel,  front flap pockets, and contrasting black buttons. Some of the design elements can be seen on these ready-to-wear coats from the McQueen fashion house.

The Duchess teamed it with a white tee and a black pleated skirt.  It has been suggested the skirt may be the Massimo Dutti Pleated skirt with buckle detail, but we cannot say for certain based on very little evidence.

Another new addition was the Grace Han Love Letter Small Top Handle Bag (£1,595).  Handcrafted in 100% black calfskin leather, its distinctive envelope closure is an ode to Love Letters of the past present and future.

We saw the return of Kate's trusty Gianvito Rossi 'Piper' 85 Black Suede Pumps.

Kate wore a cream shalwar kameez as a mark of respect for Pakistan's tradition dress code.  It's reportedly a custom design by Gul Ahmed.

Kate wore a new cornflower blue belted fit-and-flare dress.  I believe it was a deliberate colour choice because the contrast of the blue against the yellow sofa, symbolizes the national colours of the Ukrainian flag!  There has been no confirmation regarding the designer of the frock.

It's been suggested it may be a bespoke Emilia Wickstead dress.  @RoyalWikipedia notes the belt design is similar to the Emilia Wickstead Rectangluar Buckle Belt and was seen in a custom colourway with the designer's 'Kate' dress which the Duchess debuted last November.

Kate also wore a new sapphire and diamond pendant necklace.

Below is a recollection of some the occasions the late Princess of Wales wore pieces from the parure.

The Duchess complemented the necklace with her beloved 'Diana' sapphire & diamond earrings.

The Duke & Duchess of Cambridge chat with Kangaroo Island locals

1/10/2020

2 Comments

 
Last Friday, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge heard from local business owners and first responders from Kangaroo Island - a small community off the south coast of Australia, who were impacted by devastating bushfires earlier this year.

Not only have they had to rebuild their lives from the wildfires, but they also had to manage the COVID-19 pandemic, which has impacted tourism on the island and their ability to get back to a normal life. The royal couple, joined by Grace the Koala via video link,  praised the community spirit.

Kate wore her yellow Dolce & Gabbana Flutter Sleeve Crepe Dress. The colour choice is perhaps a sartorial nod to one of Australia's national colours - gold.
