The Princess of Wales looked radiant as she was photographed alongside her husband Prince William following an investiture ceremony at Windsor - her first public engagement since the Wimbledon final in July.
Kate, 42, was seen meeting talented 16-year-old photographer Liz Hatton who was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer back in January.

The royal looked lovely in an unexpected pair of designer earrings which made a loud statement. The mother of three rocked the 'Temple of Heaven Girandole Pendant Earrings' from Cassandra Goad which retail for a staggering £2,780.
The bold jewellery was used to dress up her timeless maroon single-breasted blazer and matching wide-leg trousers from Roland Mouret. She slipped a nude fine knit top under her suit jacket.
