Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, looked radiant in blue as she attended a reception to mark the 75th anniversary of the Royal Air Cadets.
Middleton took part in the event as an Honorary Air Commandmant after her grandfather-in-law, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, passed on his duties as patronage to the Duchess after 63 years in his role as Air Commodore-in-Chief, according to the official Twitter page for Kensington Palace.
