The mother-of-three looked so chic as she walked in procession to the Chapel, wearing a stunning blue coat dress. The close-fitting style had a chic tailored finish and she teamed it with the most gorgeous sling back shoes that came complete with a sparkling strap by Aquazzura. The brunette royal wore her hair in a sleek up do style and subtle makeup highlighted her lovely features. We adore her coordinating hat and sparkling jewellery - also in blue, too!
