Day Two of William and Kate's royal visit to Sweden began with a focus on the country's pioneering work in the field of mental health and children's wellbeing.

The royal couple were accompanied by Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel for their first stop of the day at the Karolinska Institute, one of the world's largest and most prestigious medical universities.

The Duchess stepped out in her second Catherine Walker coat of the tour. Today's coat was a bolder choice compared to the solid forest green piece she debuted yesterday. The red and white houndstooth coat has a double-breasted front and is a bespoke creation from the London-based atelier.

She teamed the coat with a tailor-made Alexander McQueen sheath dress.

The piece is made from an ivory wool-blend bouclé-tweed, flecked with gold yarns. The fabric is seen throughout McQueen's Pre-Fall '17 collection. Below are some pieces that feature the material.

Kate complemented the mod style with her ultra-chic Chanel quilted handbag, first seen in Paris last March, and again on Christmas Day.  On her feet were the trusty Tod's Burgundy Fringed Leather Pumps.

Kate's earrings are by In2Design - a jewellery brand founded by two Swedish-American designers Inger Mark and Inga “Louise” Baldwin who have been designing unique, hand-crafted jewelry together since they met in the U.S. in 2002.

They are the label's Baroque Pearl Earrings (US$152) available at Banana Republic.  Due to the nature of Baroque freshwater pearls, each is a one-of-a-kind original, and the shape and size of the pearls will vary. The pearl hangs from a gold-filled wire, and the earrings are handmade in the U.S.A.

The Duke and Duchess and Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel then headed to Matteusskolan, a comprehensive school in the heart of the city centre to join children who have taken part in the Youth Aware of Mental Health programme. Here they had an opportunity to learn about the support children and young teenagers get through the Swedish education system.

That afternoon, the two Royal couples visited one of Sweden's leading department stores – NK – to open an interactive exhibition of UK design, fashion and brands that operate in Sweden.

From NK, William and Kate traveled to Haga Palace, the official residence of Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel, for a private tea with the Royal couple and their children.

I love this coat, it's just perfect and once again Kate pulls off a chic look while accommodating her pregnancy in a most ladylike way. Someone pointed out that it's like a throwback to Diana's Moschino jacket though I doubt that would be intended. There's a definite vintage feel to this bold houndstooth though.

The cream boucle McQueen dress is just plain sweet and again I can only marvel at how smooth a silhouette Kate is able to pull off at six months pregnant. Both sparkle boucle and seaming details are favourites of Kate and they serve her well here. The textured fabric looks like approachable cosiness, suitable for winter and the company of small children.
