The Duke and Duchess kicked off the celebrations by attending a citizenship ceremony at the Canadian Museum of Civilisation.  They met with members of the public who’d visited Ottawa especially to see them.

Kate’s outfit:

Kate’s outfit was certainly festive – she chose to wear the Canadian flag colours, red and white.

You’ll probably notice that Kate is wearing her white Reiss Nanette dress.  The Duchess famously wore this dress for her official engagement portrait with Prince William.

    Thanks so much for posting this so quickly! First thing I did when I got up this morning was log into your site! 🙂

    Not a fan of that bag with this outfit. It seems too casual for the dress in my opinion. Also, not a fan of that style of hat, the fascinators just aren’t my bag, I guess, when they are situated on the head like that. I just think it looks weird – maybe if it had more of a brim/horizontal line it would look better to me? LOL…….

    Love that she’s wearing her dress again, it looks great on her! It does seem as if she has a penchant for either white, or blue ensembles lately – with the exception of her barbecue dress last night. Hoping as the week continues we see some other colors showing up.

    Beautiful dress and shoes, silly hat (canada day isn’t carnival and the brooch is enough to celebrate canada and its maples), fussy bag (she should match bag/shoes and dress minding materials and not only colour – that bag is perfect for a seaside party or a more informal event). She is adorable as usual!

      The brooch is fantastic. Would love to see a close-up of that! Sounds as if the Queen wore it when she first toured Canada in 1951, before she became the queen…… great history with these jewelry pieces.

        I love all the Queen’s brooches and jewels, i like that one Kate borrowed from but she made banal her outfit with the maple leaves on the hat. Just one symbol please, you aren’t a doll!

    On the whole, Kate looks spectacularly lovely. I have but two niggles…

    The clutch has an oriental feel and, though it is very pretty, seems misplaced both with the outfit and occasion.

    Also, the maple leaf bonanza is overkill. The brooch would have been adequate worn alone and generally less caricature-ish.

    Actually, I’ve kind of thought she should retire this dress. It’s too fussy for her style these days. I don’t really like how it fits her.

    Looks like the necklace is one she has worn a few years back with a pale green casual dress at a polo match.

    The necklace she wore on day 2 … possibly Bulgari or Choppard. I saw something like it today at the jeweller’s and it was a Bulgari, white gold, hole in the centre.
