The Prince and Princess of Wales dazzled royal fans on Thursday as they took part in their first work outing since the end of March.
The duo headed to Birmingham to celebrate the "city's diverse culture and heritage" and hosted local business owners at an event in The Rectory in the historic Jewellery Quarter, where William hilariously took a customer's call, as you can see in the video below.
For their joint outing, the royal couple pulled out all the stops with Kate choosing to dress elegantly in a beautiful burgundy midi dress from high street favourite Karen Millen.
The 41-year-old's burgundy dress features a deep-V neckline, nipped-in belted waist and a pleated skirt, which the royal teamed with matching heels.

Prince William recently watched Aston Villa play alongside his eldest son Prince George, who seems to be as big a fan as his father.

I was looking around for clubs. All my friends at school were either Man United fans or Chelsea fans and I didn't want to follow the run of the mill teams.
"I wanted to have a team that was more mid-table that could give me more emotional rollercoaster moments.

He added: "It was fantastic, I sat with all the fans with my red beanie on, and I was sat with all the Brummie fans and had a great time.
"It was the atmosphere, the camaraderie and I really felt that there was something I could connect with."
