Kate Takes 150 Kids to the Theatre


While Prince William sat in front of the television watching football, Kate took 150 children from The Art Room Charity to see a production of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe in Kensington Gardens.


The children who accompanied her were from six schools in London and Oxford.


The Art Room Charity helps children from disadvantaged or challenging backgrounds to express themselves and develop confidence through art.





The Duchess of Cambridge wore a teal Zara dress and a black Helena Cropped Blazer by Whistles ($195 and sold out).

William & Kate Travel to Nottingham



Today, 35,000 people turned out in Nottingham to greet the Queen and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. The visit was part of the continuing diamond jubilee tour.


People had queued since 5am to catch a glimpse of the Royal Party.




First stop was Nottingham’s historic Old Market Square.



After a brief balcony appearance at Council House, the Duchess was presented with a posy by eight-year-old Isabelle Weall from Derby, who lost both arms and legs to meningitis in 2010.





The trio then moved on to Vernon Park where The Duke gave a speech.

The Duchess of Cambridge chose to recycle her powder blue tweed M Missoni coat dress (the one we last saw a few months ago when she went for tea at Fortnum and Mason).



This piece from M Missoni's Autumn/Winter 2010 collection and is no longer available HOWEVER Grazia Magazine has announced that the two-year-old coat will be re-issued and in stores this July. It will retails at a steep £670. The stores that will stock this coat dress include the M Missoni flagship store in London, Westfield White City and Shepard's Bush, Harrods and Harvey Nichols.


Kate originally bought the piece on sale from the outlet at Bicester Village.




Beneath the M. Missoni coat dress, Kate wore her blue Zara dress which we've seen on many occassions.







The Duchess accessorized with a navy Rachel Trevor Morgan cocktail hat that she wore at armed forces day, her navy L.K. Bennett 'Art' Court Shoes ($150 and no longer available) and a new navy clutch by Jaeger.


The clutch is called the 'Kate' bag (Product Code:790001C) and is no longer available in navy. The Jaeger web site still has green in stock. The original price of the clutch was £150 and was reduced to £75.00.


Completing her look, the Duchess wore her sapphire and diamond earrings that we believe we once Diana's as well as her sapphire and diamond engagement ring.

Wills & Kate Attend the Wedding of Emily McCorquodale & James Hutt


On Saturday Emily McCorquodale celebrated her marriage to James Hutt. Emily grew up alongside William & Harry (she is the daughter of Princess Diana's sister - Lady Sarah), spending childhood holidays playing in the sand with her cousins.


The wedding was attended by William, Kate & Harry and took place in a pretty church in the Lincolnshire hamlet of Stoke Rochford.



Once again, Kate decided to shop her closet and wore some familiar pieces.




The Duchess wore the Jenny Packham dress from the polo match last summer. It's a 'De Gournay' silver and marble grey hand-painted chinoiserie silk frock from Packham's Spring 2011 collection.





On top of the, Kate wore her Katherine Hooker dove-gray, cowl jewel cuffed Katherine Hooker 'Buxton' coat from Ms. Hooker's Summer 2011 Collection. Kate wore this coat to the Garter Day Celebrations back in June 2011.


The Duchess of Cambridge made a small fashion faux pas. Her dress was longer than her coat.



She completed the muted look with elegant Whiteley hat that she wore to the Epsom Derby last year.


Kate wore her hair half up in a braid around the crown of her head.





The Duchess accessorized with her Hobbs Somerton Clutch, her nude L.K.Bennett heels, her Heavenly Necklace Earrings, and, of course, her gorgeous sapphire and diamond engagement ring.
