The royal couple's first stop was to formally open the Balfour Hospital in Kirkwall. It opened its doors in 2019 and replaced the old hospital, which had served the community for ninety years. The new facility has enabled the repatriation of many NHS services from the Scottish mainland, allowing Orkney’s population to receive most of their healthcare at home.

Kate, 39, looked as glamorous as ever for the visit, sporting a caramel-toned trousers, which she teamed with her favourite tan coat by Massimo Dutti. This coat is a past-seaon buy the royal often wears, She wore her hair in a half-up, half-down style and her makeup looked fresh, flawless and glowing. Kate also wore a beautiful Strathearn tartan scarf, which is a significant nod to her Scottish title, as well as dazzling earrings by Hamilton & Inches - a Scottsh brand.

The mother-of-three's outfit was just gorgeous. She decided to wear royal blue from head to toe; a past-season blue Zara blazer with a stunning blue pleated skirt by Hope, with nude heels and a nude bag. The getup caught our attention as it was nearly identical to an outfit that her late mother-in-law Princess Diana wore in 1992. Diana was seen out and about also wearing a pleated blue skirt and a similar, long-line blazer. Uncanny!
