The Duchess of Cambridge made a surprise visit to the Imperial War Museum (IWM) in London today to view letters relating to three brothers of her great-grandmother, all of whom fought and died in the First World War.
These documents form part of the IWM’s archive, which provides a means to research, reflect and remember the extraordinary contribution and sacrifice made by so families during the First World War.
Kate also viewed a poppy installation outside the museum ahead of the Armistice centenary on 11 November 2018, marking the end the First World War in 1918.
The Duchess wore a French blue Jenny Packham sheath dress which you might recall from her trip to Canada back in 2016.
The bespoke piece features peaked shoulders, a nipped waist, 3/4 flared sleeves, and flat pointed lapels that extended to the back.
Kate carried a new clutch bag - it is the Mulberry 'Amberley' Clutch in Dark Blush Smooth Calf Leather (£515).
The style is a new addition to the equestrian-inspired 'Amberley' collection which features Mulberry's distinctive Rider's Lock. The chain strap can be fully detached, and it has an optimized interior, with a main compartment, zipped pocket and credit card slots.
She teamed it with her trusty Gianvito Rossi 'Gianvito 105' Praline Suede Pumps.
Kate accessorized with her beloved Sapphire & Diamond Oval Drop Earrings and Cartier Ballon Bleu de Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch.
The Duchess finished the look with a Women of the First World War Poppy Brooch (£29.99) in support of the Royal British Legion.

Beautiful dress - in a gorgeous, crisp, austere shade of blue. In my view, it was elevated immensely by the hat in Canada - shame HRH did not wear her hat on this occasion which would have added to the level of chic and in my view, respectfulness for the occasion. Alas, hat wearing is ever slipping away in the UK....although I'm probably the only one whose sad about this! Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
