Kensington Palace announced that The Duchess of Cambridge has today become the Patron of The Royal Photographic Society (RPS), taking over from the Queen, who had held the role for 67 years.
To mark the occasion, Kate attended a photography workshop for Action for Children, run by The RPS at Warren Park.
The RPS was founded in 1853 with the objective of promoting the art and science of photography. The Duchess has a longstanding interest in photography, and her patronage of The RPS will further highlight the beneficial impact that art and creativity can have on emotional wellbeing, particularly for children and young people.
The Duchess stepped out in a new breezy liberty print dress by Ridley London.
It is the 'Virginia Midi' style (£449) made from silk chiffon and designed with a v-neck, fitted bodice, short floaty sleeves and an a-line skirt with a frounced hem.
She wore her brown suede Casteñer 'Carina' 80 espadrille wedges.
Kate accessorized with her gold Catherine Zoraida Fern Hoop Earrings.

I love everything about this look, and Kate's hair is fantastic!

I read the dress is Radley London, the Virginia midi dress in paisley. Love your posts!

A most delightful dress, I found myself turning against it at first with it being so similar to others Kate has worn, but later pics showed me how wonderfully the fabric drapes -- silk chiffon?- and that has changed my view! It's pretty, summery and ideal for this engagement. It's nice timing by Kate as well, given the annual chorus of complaint the day the royal houshold budget figures are released.

Haha, I knew somebody would call be out on it! I didn't know how else to describe the print, but next time I'll err on the side of caution with my descriptions ;) Anyhoo, the style/fabric has now been identified and the post updated. Thanks for your comments Bertie, they are always a delight to read x

Oh my! Grey-blue? Now I am confused. I wrote to TheCelebrityDresses and they said it was green with purple. So hard to tell from the picture. Was looking at that dress as an option for my 70th birthday party in a hotel but the theme is Backyard BBQ. I thought how interesting if I bought this dress then my table colors would be ivory with a light or pale green napkins being its a party in August and my stone color is Peridot. Is the dress blue-grey or green-purple? Like both colors.

Kate looks very relaxed at this informal meeting/workshop with the young photographers. The pastel coloured print is pretty in the close up pictures but looks very pale from a distance. The outfit has a casual, approachable air, which is on point to encourage the youngsters to talk freely to her and not be overwhelmed.

The Duchess looks lovely but I am not a fan of the flouncy hemline at all. The colour is very pretty and silk dress is a plus.

The only words I can describe this style is 'beautifully graceful'. Elizebeth, I want to know, what are the brands kate middleton wears?

I'm nearly done with the reno! Just a few final touches needed :) The Duchess used to wear many pieces from high-street labels such as LK Bennett, Hobbs, Jaeger etc but she's adding more and more high-end Italian designers to her closet now like Dolce and Gabbana. She still loves to shop at J.Crew. Her go-to designer is Alexander McQueen, and Kate also favors Jenny Packham and Catherine Walker for formal occasions. She loves pumps by Gianvito Rossi and Emmy London. Kiki McDonough is her favorite jeweler.

Love the fashion blog Elizabeth and this is a question not dealing with fashion. If you are able after you finish your home renovations. I would love to know what Canon camera Kate was using in the picture above. I am looking to purchase a new camera and this one looks like it has all the bells and whistles. Thank you 💙.

Kate used a Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX100 at the workshop. Here's a link to the camera on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2Npch37

Sorry, I just noticed she also used a Canon (as you did mention). It appears to be the Canon PowerShot G15: https://amzn.to/2Nnpsl4

Thank you for your quick response, Elizabeth. Your husband’s camera sounds like a great choice and I like now that I have two cameras to choice from for my purchase. 💙
