Royal fans were delighted after Princess Kate made a surprise appearance on Wednesday alongside Prince William. The Princess of Wales and her husband welcomed the Crown Prince and Princess of Jordan to Windsor Castle for a private meeting before the two princes carried out an engagement in Oxfordshire.

The future Queen looked elegant in a beige suit by Roland Mouret, which consisted of a double-breasted blazer and wide-leg trousers. She also sported her gold Temple of Heaven earrings by Cassandra Goad and, although her shoes were not clearly visible from the picture released by Kensington Palace, royal fashion pages online claimed she most likely wore her Ralph Lauren Celia heels in gold.

Royal fans were jubilant over Kate’s surprise appearance and took to social media to praise her for looking put-together.

One user said on Instagram: “Another winner in my book! Catherine looks beautiful and beautifully groomed! Such a classic look!”

A second one wrote: “Everything is perfectly tailored for her. Love it.”

Another one chimed: “Glowing and stylish.”

A fourth one agreed: “She is glowing! Love this suit and color(sic) on her.”

A fifth fan commented, “What I love about Catherine is that everything she wears from top to toe is tailored to fit her body perfectly. “

This is Kate’s second appearance this week as on Tuesday, she headed to Northern Ireland with Prince William for a day visiting innovative organisations that showcase growth and investment in rural areas and demonstrate entrepreneurial and creative opportunities for young people.
