Prince William and Kate were guests of honour at a dinner hosted by the Norwegian royal family on Thursday. The couple, who are on the second leg of their Scandinavian tour, attended the dinner at the palace, where both William and King Harald of Norway delivered speeches. Kate pulled out another chic outfit for the do, wearing a blush pink Alexander McQueen evening gown that skimmed over her growing baby bump. She accessorised with the Queen's diamond earrings and matching diamond bracelet, which was given to the monarch as a wedding gift from Prince Philip.
Members of the Norwegian royal family were out in full force, including King Harald's wife Queen Sonja, Crown Prince Haakon and Haakon's wife Crown Princess Mette-Marit. The black-tie affair was attended by members of government, leaders in business and those from the Norwegian creative industries. William, 35, and Kate, 36, also had the chance to mingle with serving members and veterans from the Norwegian Armed Forces.
