Kate Middleton is famous for her can-do attitude, but even she must have felt a little ridiculous digging a hole in a short designer dress and high heels yesterday.
The Duchess of Cambridge was photographed shovelling dirt onto shrubs in Yellowknife, Canada, wearing one of the most unsuitable gardening outfits of all time – a short cream linen Malene Birger dress, which sells for $410, and sky-high nude heels.
Despite the difficulties her attire presented, Kate grinned throughout the planting, but drew the line at playing hockey with her husband Prince William afterwards. The 29-year-old told the crowd she couldn’t possibly run in high heels.
