The couple, who are expected to celebrate Prince Charles' 70th birthday celebrations at Buckingham Palace tonight, were all smiles as they touched down in Rotherham on Wednesday.
Kate, 36, wore her hair in a bouncy blow dry, most likely the work of royal hairdresser Amanda Cook Tucker. She is likely to undergo an outfit change tonight for her father-in-law's glittering 70th birthday celebrations.
The mother-of-three first wore the royal blue number from Eponine London, cut from double wool crepe and featuring a cinched-in waist, on a visit to Child Bereavement UK Centre in London last year, but she gave the look a fresh twist this morning with a £450 leather clutch from Smythson.
The couple will officially open McLaren Automotive’s new Composites Technology Centre in Rotherham this morning, before travelling to Barnsley’s local Centrepoint hostel.
Rotherham's revamped McLaren Composites Technology Centre will be used to innovate the process of designing and constructing lightweight carbon fibre ‘tubs’, which form the internal shell of all McLaren cars.
The Duke and Duchess will today be shown the prototype manufacturing line that includes industrial processes for cutting and fitting carbon fibre.
The carbon fibre car chassis produced here will then be assembled at McLaren’s site in Woking, which William visited last year.
William and Kate will meet those working in the £50m factory in Catcliffe this morning and hear about plans for the centre’s expansion that will provide 200 new jobs for the local area.
Some of McLaren’s STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) ambassadors will also be present at the event and will speak to the royal couple about their work encouraging children to get involved in science-based learning and careers.
The Duke and Duchess will then travel to Barnsley where they will visit one of Centrepoint’s services, which supports over 60 homeless young people from the local area every day.
