On the July 17th, 2017, William and Kate began their Royal Tour of Germany and Poland.   The royal couple and their two children landed in Warsaw, the country’s capital city, shortly after midday local time.

The Cambridge family visited Poland and Germany on behalf of the Queen, at the request of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

A number of journalists called the five-day visit “another Brexit diplomacy tour”.  (Kate visited France and Luxembourg earlier in the year).  People hope the visits will strengthen the UK’s ties with Europe ahead of the next round of Brexit negotiations in Brussels.

Prince George didn’t look too happy about coming along on the trip…

This was the couple’s first official joint visit to both Poland and Germany (though, William made an official visit to Germany in 2016).

Kensington Palace stated that “Their Royal Highnesses [would] take time during the tour to acknowledge the complex 20th century history of each country.”

First, William and Kate travelled to the Presidential Palace where they were officially welcomed to Poland by the country’s President and First Lady. Before heading inside, the Royals took a moment to walk around and chat with the Polish people waiting to see them.

After, the couple visited the Warsaw Rising Museum. The museum is dedicated to the Warsaw Uprising of 1944. The Uprising saw the Polish resistance Home Army attempt to liberate Warsaw from German occupation.

The Royal Couple spent a little time touring the museum with the Polish President and the First Lady. They also met with veterans.

Everybody lit candles to remember those involved with the Uprising.

After, William and Kate headed over to the Warsaw Spire building.  Here, they met with young Polish entrepreneurs at the Heart business incubator.

Below, we share a photo from the event via Marta Krupińska’s Twitter account. Marta is the co-founder of a start-up company called Azimo.  She’s based in London but is from Poland originally.

After, William and Kate attended a party hosted by the British Ambassador to Poland.  Click here to read more.

Kate’s outfit:

William, Kate, Charlotte and George colour-coordinated in red, white and blue outfits.  Red and white are Poland’s national colours.  While red, white and blue are Great Britain’s national colours.

Kate’s white coat dress is from one of her favourite British labels, Alexander McQueen.

The coat dress was quickly found by the fabulous Elizabeth from Kate’s Closet.  It features a v-neckline, bracelet-length sleeves, a knee-length skirt and peplum detailing at the waist.  Below, we show the coat dress at Net-A-Porter in ivory, where it currently retails for $1,538 USD / £798 GBP:

Note:  It is unclear if Kate is wearing a bespoke white version of this ivory coat, or if the colour difference is due to lighting.  (Net-A-Porter will shoot in a studio, while the photographers following Kate will be using natural outdoor lighting).

The coat dress also comes is also available in black at Net-A-Porter.com and Saks Fifth Avenue.

Kate chose her trusty Gianvito Rossi pumps in Praline.  They’re a favourite of Kate’s, she wears them fairly regularly.

The Italian-made shoes feature a sleek pointed toe and a slim stiletto heel. They’re hand-finished using smooth taupe suede leather.   The Praline colour is now back in stock in at Net-A-Porter.com.  (Note:  the 100mm heel size is now back in stock.  We believe Kate wears the 105mm heel size.)

Kate’s carrying her Jenny Packham Casa clutch in red.

Laprendo.com previously sold a blue version of the bag for $1,010 SGP, roughly £1,300 GBP / $1,700 USD. They described the clutch as follows:

[This] evening solid frame box clutch in blue features angular enamel and a crystal encrusted clasp with silk cotton lining, small inside pocket and a matching mirror.

You may recall that she last carried the red clutch in Canada, on tour last year.

Kate’s wearing lots of new jewellery today.  She’s wearing a necklace, ring and earrings with red stones. We have no further information about these at the moment –

Of course, she’s also wearing her sapphire and diamond engagement ring and her 33mm Cartier Ballon Bleu stainless steel watch.

Kate’s wearing a belt around her coat.  Our friend Michelle thinks it could be an Alexander McQueen belt too.  I tend to agree with her:

      I only notice they’re a little wrinkled when the children are with them. Holding children = wrinkles.
