Kate Middleton and Prince William are visiting Blackpool today to take a about investment and regeneration projects in the seaside resort town. They'll visit Blackpool Tower to attend separate roundtable discussions about mental health, but in the meantime, we just got a look at Kate's awesome outfit. The weather was a bit dreary (so, typical for England) but Kate livened up the event in a gorgeous olive outfit.
Kate will be visiting Blackpool Tower, which is one of the UK's most famous landmarks. Kate was almost in head-to-toe olive with a Sportsmax green coat with the CUTEST matching green Manu Atelier clutch. Apparently she's got a Michael Kors dress on underneath—and we saw a glimpse of it, below. It'll be a busy day for the two royals, so we'll likely see more.
Here's the full look:
And here's video of Kate's arrival:

Kate last wore the jacket in Edinburgh in 2016:
