The Duchess of Cambridge is back !

The Duchess of Cambridge has arrived at RAF Brize Norton where she's set to hear about the humanitarian evacuation undertaken by the RAF of thousands of people from Afghanistan.  The Duchess's Wardrobe: The Duchess of Cambridge wore a new jacket in neutral. It was the Reiss 'Larsson' double-breasted Twill blazer. A new bag was also in the cards for today as the Duchess wore Tusting Mini Holly Bag in Taupe.  The Duke of Cambridge was seen out and about today at the London Eye. With his Earthshot prize announcing their first winners on Friday - I imagine it's about that.

Duke and Duchess of Rothesay out and about

The couple first unveiled a plaque to commemorate the opening of the Ballater Community and Heritage Hub. During this visit, the couple toured the art exhibition which takes place in the Heritage Hub. Afterwards, the couple visited local shops and businesses during a short walk through the village in Ballater, Scotland. Fashion Thoughts: I'm in love with the Duchess's outfit. The tartan and colour are just so nice even thought I could do without the colour of the shoes but it doesn't ruin it for me.
