Kate Middleton stunned in an elegant white dress as she arrived at Wimbledon this morning.
The Duchess, arriving on day two of the Championships, is patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (AELTC).
Yesterday, she unveiled a new version of her celebrated garden Back to Nature at the RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival.
She first displayed the garden, co-designed by Landscape Architects Andree Davies and Adam White, at the Chelsea Flower Show.
The garden continues to encourage families and communities to engage with nature and spend time in the great outdoors.
Its design is inspired by the original Chelsea Flower Show garden with many of the key features such as the waterfall, dens and hollow log returning, alongside new elements including a wildflower meadow, rolling hill and summer planting.
Kate told how her two eldest children helped source materials for the latest installment of her ‘Back To Nature’ garden.
Kate revealed she went foraging for pine cones with George, five and Charlotte, four, before hiding them in advance of a children’s treasure-hunt on Monday.
Kate told them excitable children aged between nine and 10: “There are eight, Charlotte helped me find them.”
She asked one little boy, who like his classmates was from Hampton Hill Junior School, “have you found any snails?” as they stood near a large hollow log.
The Duchess, 37, then spent her time taking a group of local school children on a hunt for insects and bugs.
As they skipped along stepping stones in the garden which drew over 100 onlookers on the preview day, it emerged that Kate had asked the garden contractors who helped build the garden to install stepping stones because George “loves them”.
Jake Catling from Landscape Consultants, said: “We made the stepping stones because Prince George wanted them. The kids loved jumping across and it was down to Kate we got that in.”
“This was just a field and we brought in 18 articulated lorries worth of stuff in and we had a team of up to 20 people.”
Last week it was announced Kate and William will make an official visit to Pakistan this year.
William and Kate will have high security for the week-long visit in the autumn and are not taking their children.
The tour, being made at the request of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, is intended to boost links as we seek post- Brexit trade deals.
A source said: “The security will be robust and William and Kate’s teams will be taking no chances.
“It will be a challenge ensuring they are safe, which would be more complicated by George , Charlotte and Louis being there as well.”
Security forces in Pakistan are on high alert following a string of terror attacks.
Kensington Palace said: “The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will visit Pakistan at the request of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.”
The High Commissioner for Pakistan, Mohammad Nafees Zakaria, said: “The Government and the people of Pakistan warmly welcome the royal visit.”
