    Kate Middleton opted for a red, white and blue dress to meet with pupils at Willows Primary School

    Kate Middleton fashioned her baby bump in an Erdem creation paying a subtle patriotic nod to red white and (navy) blue as she arrived in Manchester today. The label’s Sophia dress features red and navy panels with a white posy print and comes with a £1,065 price tag.

    To finish off her ensemble, the Duchess of Cambridge had just a hint of a bump under her dress and opted to accesorise with navy heels and a small clutch, wearing her hair down in the rising temperatures.

    Kate Middleton arrived at Wilmslow station by train fighting off the early-morning chill in a camel coloured coat before taking it off as it got warmer. She was greeted with a special hamper for her dog, Lupo by excited members of the public who proudly waved St George’s Cross flags.
