The Duchess of Cambridge attended the National Review of Queen's Scouts at Windsor Castle today.
The Duchess has volunteered with the Scouts Association since January 2012; privately where she volunteers with the scouts in Anglesey and publicly having attended a number of engagements to support the scouts, raise awareness and further familiarise herself with the organisation.
The Duchess was presented with a bouquet of flowers by two young scouts as she entered the grounds while The Irish Guards and Scout Band played a wide variety of songs including 'New York' and 'Star Wars'.
Catherine enjoyed talking with some of the 400-plus Queen's Scouts from around the UK and Commonwealth and met gallantry award holders, who have been nominated for their bravery and heroism and meeting adversity in their everyday lives.
The annual National Scout Service and Parade dates back more than 80 years and recognises the outstanding achievements of both adults and young people through a parade and service held annually within Windsor Castle by gift of HM The Queen.

After the parade the Duchess also attended a service at St. George's Chapel, the place of worship at Windsor Castle.
The Duchess also joined members of the Royal Family for Her Majesty's birthday tea in Windsor Castle. The Queen has completed over 15,000 official engagements since 1984. As Her Majesty approaches her ninth decade she shows no signs of slowing down. Today is a very rare day off for the monarch and I hope she has a very, very happy birthday.
The Duchess elected wear the Mint Cotton Tweed Frayed Coat by luxury English fashion brand Mulberry. The €2,300 coat is 100% cotton and features four flower buttons in soft gold, two large pockets, frayed fabric panel detailing and lined sleeves. It's a beautiful, refreshing color and a very appropriate choice for the event. Another striking addition to Catherine's collection of coats.
It is described as:
'New floral-inspired postman's lock detailing decorates this pretty tweed coat. A soft round collar and classic cut is contrasted with oversized pockets and frayed edging for a cool, easy to wear outerwear piece'.

Underneath the coat the Duchess chose to wear a matching mint dress.
She also wore her Whiteley Cappuccino hat. The Duchess previously wore the the piece at the Epsom Derby and Emily McCorquodale's wedding.
As shoes, she wore her favorite taupe L.K. Bennett Sledge Pumps. I think it is nice to see the Duchess wearing the pair, as she has been wearing the Episode 'Angel' pumps this winter.
These sophisticated four inch heels are currently available at Shopbop for €274/$345.
