HRH Princess of Wales paid a visit to the Reading Ukrainian Community Centre on Thursday to meet displaced Ukrainian families.
For the occasion the 40-year-old mother of three wore the 'Navy And Yellow Spot Print Pleated Shirt Dress' from one of her favoured brands, LK Bennett. The dress which is still available online, retails at £279. It is thought to be worn by Kate as a tribute to the war-torn nation, reminiscent of the flag's iconic two tone yellow and blue stripes.

"A beautiful midi with signature LKB colour and print, our new Tallis shirt dress is an elegant addition to our autumn collection," The brand explains on its website, "Crafted from a sheer, lightweight fabric with a navy blue and golden yellow spot print, it has a long rounded collar, long sleeves, fully-functioning blue buttons, a nipped waist and a pleated midi skirt. Wear it with courts on smarter days and knee-high boots and a wool coat when temperatures drops." The style was previously worn by Holly Willoughby on This Morning on November 2nd. The dress is available on lkbennett.com, as well as to rent via LK Borrowed, their rental subscription service.
Kate paired the dress with her Max&Co camel coat, navy suede heels and pearl drop earrings. She added a quilted bag from Jaeger to complete the ensemble. Keeping the rest of the look demure, she went for a soft makeup look and nude lipstick with her bouncy blowdry toned down in favour of a more natural blowout tucked behind her ears. As she arrived at the event the royal was presented with a traditional Ukrainian cake.
