The Cambridge family bade farewell to Poland this morning, and boarded a private jet bound for Berlin to begin the German element of the royal tour.

The Duchess wore a bespoke cornflower blue coat by British designer, Catherine Walker. The choice of colour was a nod to Germany where the cornflower is the country's national flower.

The design of the coat is very much like the red Catherine Walker number she wore during the Canadian royal tour in 2011.

Under the coat, Kate wore a tonal blue lace dress with a scalloped hem.

Kate accessorized with her KIKI Blue Topaz and Diamond Drop Earrings, and today she added the coordinating KIKI Eden Blue Topaz Flower Necklace (£1,167). The new piece features a blue topaz flower surrounded by pave set diamonds in 18ct white gold.

The Royal couple greeted the crowds that had gathered on Pariser Platz in front of the Gate, before making their way to the Holocaust Memorial.

In the afternoon, the Duke and Duchess travelled to the eastern district of Marzahn. They visited Strassenkinder, a charity which supports young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.

The Royal couple will then return to the west of the city, and meet with President Steinmeier at the Bellevue Palace for afternoon tea.

As anticipated, Kate made a wardrobe change. She arrived for the party in a red off-the-shoulder dress by Alexander McQueen (£2,075​) - ID by @RegalRepliKate on Twitter.

Alexander McQueen red off-the-shoulder shirred cotton and silk-blend crinkled-chiffon maxi dress
The floor-length gown with ruffled hem is from McQueen's Spring '17 collection. Its inspiration comes from the beautiful landscapes and folkloric history of the Shetland Islands. Crafted from cotton and silk-blend chiffon with a crinkled finish, this vivid red dress is shirred along the off-the-shoulder neckline and waist.

The dress is also available in pink at StyleBop where it is reduced to €831.

ID UPDATE (20 Jul 2017)
The Duchess stepped out in the shoes again on her final night in Germany and we can clearly see they are the ankle strap pair.

Great post and lovely pics, thanks. Was none too sure about this coat at first, from the front it looks an odd shape, tight on the bodice and extra full at the hips with the smooth bun updo I think the charge of 'matronly' might start to stick. Pics from different angles and poses make it look a bit better but I'm not sure if that's a compliment or not! Wonderful colour on Kate.

Here is a link to a very similar dress (in different colours) that is an absolute steal for under $35! https://smile.amazon.com/Renaissance-Peasant-Faire-Hippie-Dress/dp/B01E14VLDU/ref=sr_1_8?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1500519491&sr=1-8&nodeID=7141123011&psd=1&keywords=peasant+dress

You can see the tops of her shoes through the sheer bottom part of her dress. They are the Prada ankle strap that she also owns in plum. Thanks for posting, I love this site!
