The Princess of Wales took part in a fun engagement on Thursday as she and Prince William headed to the Dog & Duck Pub in Soho, London to meet staff and hear how they are preparing for the coronation weekend.
For her visit to the historic pub Kate chose a surprisingly formal outfit, wearing her red Eponine fitted coat dress over her Suzannah white midi dress – previously worn at Wimbledon – and white heels. She added her white Mulberry 'Amberley' bag, too.
The Princess wore her signature brunette hair down and loose in waves and added her usual natural makeup, accessorising with one of her favourite pairs of pearl drop earrings from Maria Black.
Later, the Prince and Princess met members of the public on Frith Street, with both smiling and chatting with royal fans.
There's a busy few days ahead for all members of the royal family, as official celebrations for King Charles' coronation begin on Friday.
The monarch will host a luncheon with working members of the royal family, Realm Governors General and Prime Ministers on Friday, while the evening will see a formal reception at Buckingham Palace for overseas royalty – Kate is expected to appear in a gown and tiara, alongside other working members of the royal family.
