The Princess of Wales took part in a fun engagement on Thursday as she and Prince William headed to the Dog & Duck Pub in Soho, London to meet staff and hear how they are preparing for the coronation weekend.
For her visit to the historic pub Kate chose a surprisingly formal outfit, wearing her red Eponine fitted coat dress over her Suzannah white midi dress – previously worn at Wimbledon – and white heels. She added her white Mulberry 'Amberley' bag, too.
The Princess wore her signature brunette hair down and loose in waves and added her usual natural makeup, accessorising with one of her favourite pairs of pearl drop earrings from Maria Black.
