The second day of the Royal Visit to Poland started on a sombre note with a trip to the former Nazi Germany Concentration Camp in Stutthof. During WWII up to 110,000 people – men, women and children – from 28 countries were imprisoned in Stutthof, of whom as many as 65,000, including 28,000 Jews, died.
During their visit, William and Kate met former prisoners of the camp.
There was a change in mood for their second stop of the day. William and Kate traveled to Gdansk, a handsome port city located on Poland’s northern Baltic coastline, famous for its amber.
In the central market square the Duke and Duchess joined a street party where they where offered Goldwasser - a Gdansk liqueur, and traditional Polish pierogi, while watching amber craftsmen at work, and listening to local musicians and artists who will contribute to the festive feeling.
Then it was on to the Gdansk Shakespeare theatre - home to the city’s annual Shakespeare festival, attended by theatre-lovers from around the world. During the seventeenth century there was a large English-speaking community based in Gdansk, which made the city an important destination for travelling English actors.
They concluded their visit to the town with a trip to the European Solidarity Centre, in Gdansk’s shipyards the birth-place of the Solidarity movement in Poland.
For her second day of the royal tour, the Duchess stepped out in a co-ordinate set by Erdem featuring the designer's 'Hurst Rose' print from the SS 2017 collection.
The Erdem 'Imari' skirt (£760.00) is a midi length skirt crafted from a cotton faille with a slight sheen. Its feminine volume is created by tucked folds. It is finished with a high waist and pockets. We have been unable to find a stock photo of the matching cropped top.
The 'Hurst Rose' print is available on a few different Erdem items, including a dress, trousers and top at MyTheresa.com:
On her feet Kate wore the Stuart Weitzman 'NearlyNude' Patent Ankle Strap Sandals (US$398) which we believe are the same pair she debuted a few days ago at the Wimbledon men's singles final.
The Duchess carried a new tan ostrich embossed clutch bag by Polish brand, Etui. It is a style she already owns in green crocodile-embossed leather, and cream woven leather.
Kate donned a new necklace and matching earrings.
They appear to be the Antique Gold Vermeil And Custord Amber Earrings and Pendant Set (US$75). Amber is the native gemstone of Poland and it's speculated the set may have been a gift from the Polish government or President.
Tomorrow we will see the Cambridges bid farewell to Poland, before beginning the German element of the tour in the capital, Berlin.

A lovely outfit & a canny choice for a day of such mixed venues. Erdem has long favoured darker tones in his prints and these roses are a very sober deep red apart from all the dark foliage. The demure style of the unstructured top and the below knee skirt length all helped to observe decorum where needed while the floral theme was welcome for the downtown events where the welcome was rapturous rather than critical. I also feel the floral motifs reference hope and renewal of which the town of Gdansk has had first-hand experience Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
