Royal Tour - 10 April 2014: The Blue Duchess

I am so happy we get to see the Duchess again every day with a new outfit to swoon over! Today, William and Kate left little Prince George at home, and attended a public wreath laying ceremony at the War Memorial and Clock Tower in Blenheim.

After that they both did a public walkabout in Seymour Square, to meet some of the local residents that had been waiting to get a glimpse of the royal couple.

I noticed that Kate was gifted a purple bear. It actually is the 'Princess' beanie baby from Ty. I immediately recognized it, because I actually have this beanie baby myself (never thought I'd share with you that I used to collect beanie babies when I was young :-P).  It was issued in memory of Princess Diana and has a white rose on the front. On the inside of the 'Ty' label there is a poem:
Like an angel, she came from heaven above
She shared her compassion, her pain, her love
She only stayed with us long enough to teach
The world to share, to give, to reach.
Really nice gesture, isn't it? :-)

In the afternoon the royal couple visited the Knights of the Sky exhibition, where they got a tour from Peter Jackson (the director of  Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit) and looked at (and sat in) some of the old aircrafts. Sounds like a lot of fun!

For the entire day Kate was wearing a muted cornflower blue bespoke coat by Alexander McQueen. With that she wore her navy suede McQueen heels (also seen in Canada with her McQueen sailor dress), and her navy Stuart Weitzman 'muse' clutch (still available at Russell & Bromley). For jewelry, Kate wore her sapphire and diamond dangle earrings, and a small poppy brooch.

When I saw Kate's coat, it immediately made me think of those boxy leather coats pilots in WW I (like the Red Baron and Lanoe Hawker) used to wear. Since they were visiting a WW I memorial and exhibition, it wouldn't surprise me that the coat was designed with those coats in mind. 

It is now possible to order a custom sized coat inspired by the one worn by Kate today at the Tatiana's Delights Etsy shop. The price for such a coat will be $259. This coat will be made of a wool/polyester blend and will also feature a belt oversized pockets, and pleats on the back. It is also possible to order this coat in other colours. 

I've also tried to find nice replikates for Kate's outfit of today online and put them together in the collage below.
