The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have made another virtual appearance from their home of Anmer Hall, and Kate has wowed us in a gorgeous outfit once again! Speaking with six staff members from Fraser Health's Surrey Memorial Hospital in British Columbia to mark Canada Day, the Duchess sweetly chose a red outfit for the call, keeping with her tradition of often wearing the country's national colour for her Canadian engagements.

The royal appeared to be wearing a chic red tweed dress, which many believe to be another item from her incredible Alexander McQueen collection. It could be the designer's 'Short-Sleeve Tweed Shift Dress' which is sadly no longer available to shop – though it would make gorgeous summer choice for Kate.

William said: "I just wanted to just touch base and say how proud we are of all of you and everyone on the front line who have led the way, very stoically, very bravely and put patient care right at the top of the list, and done a fantastic job. So well done to all of you and I hope Catherine and I can come and visit you guys one day and say that to you in person."
