Duchess Kate Dazzles in Blue While Supporting Scottish Community Initiatives
This afternoon, the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, made quite an impression as she traded her sporty attire for a stunning baby blue coat by Amelia Wickstead.
She joined Prince William at the closing ceremony of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, showcasing her signature elegance in a chic belted wool coat that elegantly cut at the knee.
Earlier in the day, Kate had embraced her athletic side during a tennis session, sporting a recycled Ralph Lauren cable knit sweatshirt priced at £90.
She paired it with black trousers and £55 Superga trainers, proving that she can effortlessly switch from sporty to sophisticated.
Meanwhile, Prince William opted for a more casual look, rolling up his shirt sleeves and leaving his jacket behind, embodying a relaxed yet polished vibe.
Their visit to the Craiglockhart Tennis Centre was particularly special, as they interacted with children from Canal View Primary School.
The couple learned about the Lawn Tennis Association's youth program, a cause close to Kate's heart as its patron.
They even engaged in a friendly game of doubles, with Kate displaying her agility as she dashed around the court, reaching for the ball while providing encouragement and tips to the young players.
The day was packed with activities for the Duke and Duchess, marking the second stop on their busy schedule as their week-long tour of Scotland neared its end.
Earlier, they visited Starbank Park, where they joined nursery school children in scattering plant seeds intended to attract butterflies.
Their hands-on approach continued with teenagers as they planted sunflowers, part of the Duke of Edinburgh Award initiative.
For the morning's outdoor activities, Kate looked polished in a £130 polka dot jumper from Jigsaw, complemented by her favorite £140 Massimo Dutti blazer.
At one point, the royal couple donned gardening gloves, diving into the planting process alongside the children.
As Kate shared gardening tips, William humorously remarked about her getting free labor from the kids.
During her time at Starbank Park, Kate revealed her love for weeding during a chat with one of the young gardeners.
