Kate Middleton made her stylish arrival on Tuesday in the Netherlands. The Duchess of Cambridge showed up in a pale blue Catherine Walker skirt suit for her appearance at the royal residence, where she met with King Willem-Alexander for a lunch meeting.
The Duchess styled the belted peplum jacket and pencil skirt with praline Gianvito Rossi pumps and a L.K. Bennett Nina Clutch. Prince George and Princess Charlotte's mom completed the look with pearl and diamond earrings borrowed from Queen Elizabeth and has her long waves tied back into a low chignon.

Kate, who has been a longtime fan of Catherine Walker, was last seen wearing a cream coat by the designer on the final day of her and Prince William's royal tour of Canada. The 34-year-old left William and their children, three-year-old George and 17-month-old Charlotte at home for the short trip, which will see her carry out three separate engagements in The Hague and Rotterdam.

Next, Kate will attend the British Ambassador’s Residence in The Hague where she will take part in a roundtable discussion on the themes of addiction, intervention, family and mental health. Her last engagement of the day will take Kate to the neighboring city of Rotterdam to visit Bouwkeet, a new community-focused initiative in the center of an economically deprived district.
Kate's busy day follows her outing with William and Prince Harry to mark World Mental Health Day on Monday. The Duchess looked pretty in a pink floral Kate Spade dress as she promoted the Heads Together campaign during a visit to County Hall and a ride on the London Eye.
