The Prince and Princess of Wales were back to royal duties on Thursday, and the couple paid a visit to Royal Liverpool University Hospital to thank those working in healthcare and mental health support during the winter months. 

Kate Middleton looked as stylish as ever, sporting a smart navy midi dress from one of her favourite fashion brands, Cefinn. The Princess paired the dress with a matching navy belt and navy heels, but her tartan coat stole the show.
