The weather in the U.K. may be cooling down, but Princess Kate is bringing the sunshine with her wherever she goes.
For her latest solo engagement, the newly minted Princess of Wales opted for a color she's rarely seen in: an orangey-yellow ochre that proved she's not quite ready to let go of the summer just yet.
As she headed to Surrey, Kate chose a short-sleeved, belted dress from British workwear label Karen Millen, which featured a collar and pleated midi skirt—a classic Princess Kate silhouette, if you will. While her exact dress is sold out in that orangey color, you can still snap it up in ivory, but you better go quickly.
The princess paired this dress with a pair of suede pointy heels in navy, and accessorized with a navy clutch bag and drop earrings (plus a Band-Aid on her right thumb—I guess royals aren't immune to everyday injuries). She wore her hair down and curled, with a side parting.
Kate stepped out to visit the Royal Surrey County Hospital's Maternity Unit at Royal Surrey County Hospital, where she learned about what the unit does to support pregnant people and new parents.
There, she spoke to medical staff, and also got to meet newborns and their parents who were in the care of the hospital.
Taking to Instagram, the Prince and Princess of Wales wrote, "With a focus on maternal mental health, alongside pioneering overnight facilities, Royal Surrey County Hospital ensures women and their families feel safe, supported and have the best chance of developing those all-important early attachments which are so crucial to ensuring their babies grow and thrive.
"It was lovely to meet some of the new mothers and their babies who are supported by such a brilliant team at the hospital."
Anything to do with early childhood is a cause close to the princess' heart, and has been a running thread in her charity support work over the years.
