Well, isn’t this interesting. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge made their first visit to the city that bears their official title—the first ever for the Duchess, and the first in official capacity for Prince William since being married. Arriving by train from Kings Cross station in London (but maybe not this platform), the couple made several stops. But before they could get to them, the Duke and Duchess were met by throngs of fans who had lined the streets in hopes of meeting them. One fan gave Prince William a “babygro,” which upon googling, we learned was a baby jumpsuit. Awks.

Beginning with a visit to Cambridge University’s Guildhall, the Duke and Duchess were greeted by Lord Sainsbury of Turville, the Chancellor of the University and met with several staff members including her father’s first cousin, Dr. Penny Barton. According the BBC, Prince William made a lovely speech about the city being “a place renowned the world over for its dynamism, beauty and learning” and Dr. Barton responded by saying that Kate had made the family “proud.”

Following their visit to the university, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge continued onto Jimmy’s, a homeless shelter, The Manor School and finally to Peterborough Hospital.

For today’s visit, Kate wore MaxMara Studio’s Belli wool and cashmere coat, which featured a skinny patent bow belt. If you look real close, you’ll see that the Duchess’s belt is being worn upside down, which adds a little quirk to the outfit intentionally or not. The coat was worn over-top a printed brown dress and was paired with a brown clutch and Aquatalia by Marvin K booties. She also wore her white topaz and diamond Grace stud earrings by Kiki McDonough.

But enough of that, let’s talk about the hair. Continuing on from our report this morning, Kate might not be so sure how she feels about her bangs. According to the Daily Mail’s Rebecca English, the Duchess told an onlooker who complimented her look “I’m not sure about it. It’s a bit windy today”. Yeesh!
