    The Duchess changed out of Jenny Packham and into purple Prabal Gurung for her second engagement of the day

    Kate Middleton has debuted her second dress of the day, just hours after landing in Singapore on the first leg of her Diamond Jubilee tour.

    After arriving in a pretty pink Jenny Packham dress, the Duchess of Cambridge did a quick change into a purple Prabal Gurung long-sleeved shift.
