The royal couple visited the Indian Streatery as their first stop. They met with the proprietors, the Sharma Family, who not only bring authentic Indian street food to the city but also make significant contributions to the community, including training an all-female chef team. The Prince even assisted in taking a reservation!

William and Kate then hosted a reception at The Rectory restaurant in the city's Jewellery Quarter and met with local artists, designers, and playwrights to hear about how the creative industries sector is growing in the West Midlands.

I find this dress looks a bit odd on Kate. It has several of her signature details in pleats, tie belt, and shirtwaister style but I don't like the Karen Miller fit on her. The waist seems too high and looks a bit juvenile and the pleats stick out awkwardly from under the belt at the back.


It's a wonderful colour on the Princess, and I like how the trench coat features are worked around the upper bodice. However that makes the top of the dress extra busy and I find the earrings bit fussy against it all, though they look like they might be paying some cultural tribute via oriental style. I think the top of the dress is formal enough to need hair away from the face. She continues to look wonderful whatever niggles I might have!

I agree with Bertie. The dress has lovely elements, and I like the bodice, but the skirt pleats look messy. Perhaps if she opted for a leather belt, it would have made it look neater around the waist. Despite this, Kate looks radiant and this merlot shade suit her well.

I LOVED that red wine color on Princess Catherine. Looked like she and Prince William were really enjoying it. It made my day!!
