It’s a very Good Friday at a genuinely Royal Easter Show as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are greeted by huge crowds at the Homebush showground.
On the third day of their Australian tour Kate has opted for the Roamer Day Dress by Zimmermann – a cream lace number from the Australian designer’s upcoming Summer Swim 2014 range and retails for $495. Naomi Watts has previously been photographed wearing the same dress. Kate has paired it with her tan wedges.
After opening a new pavilion, the Royal couple take in the District Products display, observe a sheep shearing demonstration and meet with a young fashion designer who last year won a competition to design a dress, which was made entirely from wool, for Kate.
This afternoon Kate and Wills will visit Bear Cottage, a children’s hospice in Manly, and Manly Beach.
