Kate Middleton’s prowess as a diplomat has been further confirmed by her joining Prince William in the Caribbean last week.
For her trip to the commonwealth nations, the Duchess, of Cambridge (40), wore a mixture of custom and vintage pieces.
She wore jewellery by a Jamaican jeweler, as well as pieces from Vampire’s Wife or Roksanda.
