On her feet she wore her trusty Monsoon Fleur Taupe Suede Espadrille Wedges.

She coordinated the shoes with her sandy hued Alexander McQueen suede clutch.  First seen in September 2012, the piece is a modified version the original clutch shown below in grey which features the signature McQueen skull clasp.  Kate had hers customised with something a little more demure.

The Duke and Duchess changed into something more appropriate to embark on a rowing boat each for a friendly competition, joined by rowers from both Cambridge and Heidelberg.
