Have many of you seen 'The Avengers'? I haven't yet but my sisters tell me it is one of the best movies of the year :) It is produced by Marvel and distributed by Walt Disney Features. The plot sees the director of a peacekeeping organisation 'S.H.I.E.L.D' recruit Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk and Thor to form a team to stop Thor's brother Loki from subjucating earth. The stellar cast includes Robert Downey, Jr. and Scarlet Johansson.

Kate looked casual and chic in a black gilet. Due to the quality of the photo and the fact we cannot see the front of the piece we cannot positively identify it. However it would seem highly likely it is the Temperly Leather and Shearling Contrast Gilet (With many thanks to Kate in Waiting) The piece is no longer available but was selling for £1250. Kate wore a black sweater underneath the gilet.

The Celtic Sheepskin Tosacana Gilet is an excellent alternative.

Kate wore her J Brand 811 Jeans. Kate wore the mid rise jeans three times during the Canada tour.

Kate completed the look with black heels and wore her hair half up, half down.

Yesterday Kate was spotted walking Lupo in Kensington Gardens accompanied by her brother James and the Middletons' dog Ella.

The lady who took the photo noted she did not see protection officers around. Perhaps they kept a small distance to allow the siblings a chance to chat privately?

"Traditional Barbour wax, in a versatile field jacket. Flattering and easy fit. Perfect for outdoor adventures. 100% cotton Barbour Tartan lining. "

Kate completed the look with J Brand jeans, Adidas runners and a knit hat.

Whilst Kate was walking Lupo, William and Harry visited Prince Philip in the King Edward VII hospital in London. The Princes looked in high spirits, no doubt William was happy because he  has passed his captaincy tests and is now qualified to command a Royal Air Force search and rescue helicopter. Until now William has only co piloted the aircraft. 

I'm delighted to report Prince Philip was released from hospital today. Philip turns 91 tomorrow and will be very pleased to able to celebrate at home with his family. Wishing him a very happy birthday.
