The Daily Mirror correspondant Victoria Murphy was at the event, tweeting photos of Kate’s look – as well as the delightful snacks put out by the palace. While hiking remains in their itinerary, so the Duchess will also have a pair of hiking boots in her suitcase to India and Bhutan. The first occasion was during the annual Fostering Excellence Awards where she wore a crinkle-effect dress in cobalt blue, but the Duchess’ wardrobe for her upcoming tour is still being speculated.
This marks the second time Kate has worn a dress by Saloni, a label which has always been championed by her husband’s cousin Princess Beatrice.
Also joining Prince William and Duchess Kate are Kate’s personal assistant Natasha Archer, freelance stylist Amanda Cook Tucker, ex-British ambassador to the U.S. Sir David Manning and the couple’s communications secretary Jason Knauf. A source has said that when Kate found out about her latest pregnancy, she felt the need to switch up her future appearances, forcing her to break the news to not only William but the entire royal fam!
The couple will also stay at a Taj property in Bhutan, the Taj Tashi, where they will play a game of archery, the national sport of that country.
Prince George just started nursery school in January and is adjusting nicely, making new friends. “She is in charge of it herself and takes an interest in paying tribute to the host country with nods to their culture and local style on at least a few of the engagements”. Two under three is incredibly hard’. Kate Middleton’s tip for handling separation anxiety with her children focus on routine. “It’s very much a process that she leads, though she does have some help from her staff when it comes to sourcing outfits”, the royal source added.
They spoke to India’s High Commissioner to the UK Navtej Sarna, other figures representing British and Indian business, the charity sector, key figures within the community, academia, and representatives from the British Asian Trust.
With their commitment to vulnerable children around the world, the duke and duchess will also pay a visit to one of the most impoverished slums in the world in central Mumbai.
