Kate Middleton wore her Alexander McQueen poppy print to two different receptions on the same day in October 2016. The first was at Buckingham Palace. It honoured athletes from Team GB and ParalympicsGB who’d competed in Rio 2016.
The second reception took place at Kensington Palace. William and Kate met with BBC Radio 1’s Teen Heroes.
