Kate selected a Hobbs summer dress for today’s launch of a new charitable initiative with William and Harry.

The event took place at Bacon’s College in Rotherhithe; it is a new project of the Royal Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry. The partnership with Greenhouse will test a groundbreaking initiative designed to improve sports coaching in schools and communities. More on the project from the Foundation website:

Together we are piloting a new programme for school or higher education leavers to train as professional sports coaches whilst they are still in education.

The project aims to improve the quality and availability of sports coaching and mentoring in inner city schools whilst creating employment at a time when many young people are facing long term unemployment.

Kate, William, and Harry all played sports with the young people gathered for the event, here we see Kate playing table tennis, with thanks to Greenhouse for the photo.

Kate chose the Hobbs Wessex dress in linen with a subtle grey checked pattern.

It is a classic silhouette, one well suited to the Duchess.

The Wessex is from Hobbs’ spring/summer collection; it has a modified boat neck, short sleeves, fitted waist, and full skirt and a concealed back zipper. Here are two images showing other angles, thanks to Rebecca English of the Daily Mail for her twitter photos.

This dress originally sold at Hobbs, John Lewis, and other retailers for £119 ($180 at today’s exchange rates), but most recently was discounted to £35 ($55). The dress is sold out on all the online sources I spot-checked.

Here is a better shot of the braided rope belt Kate wore with the frock.

William spoke at today’s event, Richard Palmer of the Express shared some of William’s comments via his Twitter feed:

We saw Kate’s trusty Pied a Terre Imperias again.

The espadrille-style wedge has a canvas upper and buckle slingback; the shoe is available in many colors, including the ‘natural’ worn by Kate. (£80, $160)

This was a beautiful summer look for Kate; the fit and flare silhouette is very flattering on her; it looked ideal for the event without being too dressy or fussy.

We also have news to share on the Jubilee Tour Kate and William are doing in September. Here is the schedule as released by Clarence House yesterday.

  • September 11 – 13: Singapore
  • September 13 – 15: Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur and Sabah, Borneo)
  • September  16 – 18: Solomon Islands
  • September 18 – 19: Tuvalu

More from the Telegraph’s story:

They will be representing the Queen in celebration of her Diamond Jubilee on their first foreign tour since visiting Canada and the US in July last year.

During their stay in Borneo they will visit a rainforest where they could come face to face with orangutans, and where they are likely to learn about efforts to preserve the world’s oldest rainforest, which dates back 130 million years.

Another Royal Tour for William & Kate, Updates & It’s Almost Time to Pick Your Favorites

Greetings, we hope everyone is surviving the holidaze (yes, that is how we occasionally refer to this time of year), we have an abundance of news to share! Readers will no doubt be familiar with several of the stories, but in an effort to provide a comprehensive overview, we’ll cover as many as we can.

First and foremost, Kate and William will be on tour again next year. They are heading to Malaysia, Singapore, the Solomon Islands, and the tiny nation of Tuvalu. Tuvalu is the third smallest nation in the world, second only to the Vatican and another island nation, Nauru.  The Telegraph spoke with the country’s consul to the UK about the trip:

“We will give the Duke and Duchess a traditional way of welcome. The first surprise they will have will be when the arrive on the shores of Tuvalu.

“They will sit in a canoe and the young men of the island, dressed in skirts of coconut fibre, will carry the canoe on their shoulders.”

This form of welcome won’t come as a surprise, it’s likely Kate and William will have seen photos of a previous royal visit to the island, below we see none other than Her Majesty on Tuvalu, back in 1982.

The trip is part of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, almost all of the royals will be touring next year. The Daily Mail has a good map illustrating where the tours will be taking place.

Dates have not yet been announced for Kate and William’s tour, the Jubilee is formally marked by multiple celebrations the weekend of June 2-5, although there will be events throughout the year.
