It's Business as Usual for Kate

On Monday, Kate was the guest of honor at a luncheon to mark the 105th birthday of The Goring Hotel. She was there to officially reopen the London hotel in the company of celebrities and loyal guests.

The Duchess' visit was not part of her official duties, and according to Kensington Palace she was attending in a private capacity after receiving a personal invite from the hotel.

The hotel holds a special place in Kate's heart — it's where she famously spent her last night before marrying Prince William in 2011. Her parents and siblings Pippa and James also stayed there.

The hotel’s Royal Suite, which runs the entire length of the top floor, with French windows in each room that open on to a balcony overlooking the hotel’s private garden, is reputedly where the Duchess set up her HQ for the big day.

Kate was photographed adding some detail to a painting during her visit to The Goring Hotel on Monday. I believe this was a painting in one of their refurbished rooms.

Suzannah

Peeking from beneath the Duchess' dress was a 'Budding Heart' silk tea dress by Suzannah (£475).

Additional details from the Suzannah website:

'Inspired by a 30s-find in the Porte de Clignancourt vintage market in Paris.

The beautiful budding heart print has a beautiful retro vibe. Our expert printers in Como, Italy, translated this wonderful print onto beautiful Italian silk crepe de chine exclusively for Suzannah.

The smocking detailing at the shoulder and under the bust add a wonderful vintage charm, with the bias line of the skirt skimming to below the knee. Skirt part is lined in 100% silk habotai.

The silhouette lifts the bust and flatters the body.
