The Prince and Princess of Wales arrived for official engagements in Birmingham on Thursday, with Kate choosing to dress elegantly as ever for the occasion – in a beautiful burgundy midi dress from high street favourite Karen Millen.
Kate wore her brunette hair loose and long with her signature soft curls, and teamed her look with minimal makeup as usual. Her burgundy dress features a deep-V neckline, nipped-in belted waist and a pleated skirt, which the royal teamed with matching heels. It's worth £183.20 at Karen Millen, though sadly it's sold out in the royal's shade – but it is still available to shop in black and camel tones.
It appears that Kate also altered the dress for her visit, removing the gold details from the waist tie detail on the dress.
She accessorised her outfit with her beautiful Sezane 'Dina' earrings, which were rumoured to be a 2022 Christmas present from husband Prince William.
The royal couple visited the UK's second city in order celebrate its diverse culture and heritage – for their first engagement, they visited family-run restaurant The Indian Streatery.
