The Duchess of Cambridge, née Kate Middleton, made a poignant visit to Bletchley Park on Thursday to visit the site where her grandmother worked during the war.

Kate chose an elegant Alexander McQueen outfit for her visit to Britain's World War II code-breaking site in Buckinghamshire. She had previously worn the silk blouse and pencil skirt in 2011, on a visit to Summerfield Community Centre in Birmingham. Click link for full post from Hello Magazine.

Queen of Jewelry

Brooches, usually worn on the left shoulder, were a favourite for the royal and the Queen was believed to have over 100 in her collection. A selection that would go with an outfit were presented to her - usually three at a time - by her senior dresser and confidante Angela Kelly on special trays that once belonged to Queen Mary. The royal had a wide variety of different brooches which she often wore with her usual pearl earrings and necklace, including a spray of flowers brooch by the people and government of Australia during her Coronation tour of 1954./
