Kate has been at a variety of venues the last two days, wearing much the same ensembles as those seen previously. Today she started her Olympic venue visiting at Gymnastics.
She visited with Team GB gymnast & Bronze Medalist Kristian Thomas, this is what he tweeted:

Mr. Thomas wasn’t the only athlete delighted by Kate’s presence, the USA’s Jordyn Wieber tweeted her excitement.

The Duchess was solo again this morning, William and Harry were playing in a charity polo match, Rebecca English of the Daily Mail shared this photo of the duo along with other team members. (William is in red, Harry in blue.)

Back to Kate, after gymnastics she moved on to women’s handball, here we show her at the Team GB vs. Croatia game.

It looks like she is wearing her Diamonds by the Yard bracelet from Tiffany, and she wore new pearl drop earrings we haven’t noted previously. (I apologize, we just don’t have good images of those yet from the two photo agencies I use.)

The Duchess sported a blue Team GB polo as opposed to the white we have been seeing, and she added a different pair of shoes to the mix.

Here Kate gives a thumbs-up and you can almost see her Le Pliage bag, George Murphy shared the photograph.

It is the Le Pliage shoulder tote (you can tell because it has the longer handles) by Longchamp, we show it at Saks.

For those unfamiliar with the bags, they are nylon with leather trim, and they’re wonderful, they are *very* sturdy and can really take a beating. This might give a better idea of size for the large model.

This size is $145, but there is a multitude of colors and styles available, you can see almost all of them at the Longchamps site.
Instagram user Lloyd Morgan posted this photo of Kate, her red sneakers are just about visible at the bottom of the image.

We believe they are the Adidas Supernova Glide in vivid red and metallic silver.

The shoes are available in most sizes at Kitbag.

The trainers (sneakers, tennis shoes) are priced at $131 at Kitbag, it’s possible they are available elsewhere, we only had time to check John Lewis, they offered the shoe at £100, but it is shown as being out of stock.

We also have a quick update to Friday’s post, when Kate was sported a red Zara blazer for the thank you party at Team GB House.

It turns out Kate’s polka dot top is most likely a Zara piece as well.
In other Team GB news, Mrs. Regal Eyes alerted us a special series of stamps is being issued by the Royal Mail, each Gold Medal winner will be showcased on their very own postage stamp. This is how the stamp for Heptathlon winner Jessica Ennis will look.

Love the red sneakers. I have actually been concerned that Kate will ruin her feet with all the standing she does in sky high heels. I have seen ladies with seriously deformed and painful feet because of wearing heels all the time.

Anyone who's familiar w/royal history and/or protocol may know the answer to this one but isn't there or wasn't there some protocol "rule" that members of the royal family should be taller than the people around them? I seem to remember reading that somewhere as the reason that so many of the more petite royal ladies wore high heels back in the day. Seeing Kate out and about in the wedges and with the height difference it gives her made me wonder if that protocol issue maybe is part of the reason she's wearing such a high heel and a relatively formal shoe to the events?

No, I'm afraid not. There is no "protocol rule" requiring British royals to be taller than everyone else around them. Such a rule never existed in Britain and certainly has nothing to do with the Duchess's wedges.
Queen Victoria was 4'11" tall. She didn't wear platform shoes, and the women and men who served the court and the government didn't scoot around on their knees in order to avoid appearing taller than she was.
The British have never been that silly.

No not in British history. You might be thinking of some of the mid-East potentates and of course in the far east where one had people crawling on their hands and knees so that they would alwyas be lower.
It was protocol (and still could be) that one does not show his/her back to the monarch but I am not sure that that is followed still today.

Is it just me, or does it crack you up that she has a name tag reading "HRH Duchess of Cambridge?". As if she needed a name tag. Lol
I understand security and all, but it still struck me as cute.

I like her red sneakers. They're fun and add just the right pop of color.

Hello! first and foremost, this website is amazing, so thank you for all your work! The "mistery top" might be one from Zara Basic, I have a shirt that looks exactly the same I bought last winter. Unfortunately the inner label has been cut so I don't have any further detail except Made in Portugal. I can send some picts to the Administrator though! :)
