Her hair in an immaculate blow-dry, Kate sported a £359 yellow LK Bennett blazer along with a white t-shirt and matching trousers and trainers.

The mum of three was joined by Love Island star Zara McDermott as she visited the Dame Kelly Holmes Trust in Bath as part of her focus on childhood development and mental health.

She is also set to meet with kids from St Katherine’s School in Bristol who are being mentored by Paralympic gold medallist Liz Johnson.

Kate has long been a champion of children’s mental health, and supports programmes including Heads Together, Shout 85258 and Mentally Healthy Schools.

The Dame Kelly Holmes Trust arranges for world-class athletes to mentor young people facing adversity.

It delivers a range of wellbeing programmes in schools and children’s hospitals, with its On Track To Achieve programme focusing on kids between 11 and 19.

It comes after Kate’s coronation dress was revealed in full – as she beamed alongside Queen Camilla and Prince William in an official portrait.

The Alexander McQueen gown was covered up by Kate’s ceremonial robes during the coronation itself, but can now be seen in full thanks to the Buckingham Palace photo.

Kate wore a ivory silk crepe gown with silver bullion and thread work embroidery.

The embroidered patterns included rose, thistle, daffodil and shamrock patterns – a poignant detail nodding to England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland respectively.

The symbols, which also appear on Princess Charlotte’s dress, were all the more touching for having also featured on the late Queen’s gown for her own coronation in 1953.

The Princess of Wales also wore a matching Jess Collett x Alexander McQueen headpiece with silver bullion, crystal and silver three-dimensional leaf embroidery.

She has long been an Alexander McQueen fan, choosing the designer for her wedding dress.

Another poignant detail of Kate’s outfit was her pearl and diamond earrings, which were previously owned by her mother-in-law Princess Diana.

The earrings, which Kate previously wore at the BAFTAs in 2019, were given to Diana before her 1981 wedding to Prince Charles.

Kate finished off her outfit with the King George VI Festoon Necklace, which was given by George VI to his daughter, the late Queen.

The necklace, made from 105 loose diamonds, was one of the Queen’s favourite pieces of jewellery.

The Princess of Wales’s coronation robe, which covered up the gown on Saturday, was a deep blue Royal Victorian Order mantle edged in scarlet.

Kate is entitled to wear the robe after the Queen made her a Dame Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order in 2019.

The floor-length cloak was made from dark blue silk satin lined with white silk taffeta, and came with a hand-embroidered badge and hood.
