Kate watched the Athletics tonight and presented a medal to Great Britain's Aled Davies who won gold in the men's discus. It is the first time Kate has taken part in a medal ceremony, in her role as Olympic Ambassador and she appeared to enjoy it immensely.

Kate wore a Team GB jacket with skinny jeans and her red Adidas Supernova Glide 4 shoes. Obviously the Duchess is supporting Team GB with her clothing choices for the Paralympics as she did with the Olympics.

Exciting news regarding the upcoming royal tour. William, Kate and Harry's Principal Private Secretary and Equerry Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton has released a statement which includes a detailed itinerary for the South-East Asia tour. It's is a very interesting read. On the sidebar you will see 'Kate's Upcoming Dates' which has been updated to include the couple's engagements during the tour. It certainly looks like it's going to be a wonderful tour. Are you looking forward to it? :)
The statement finishes with information on the tour party and flights. The couple will travel on all scheduled flights except between Kuala Lumpur and Kota Kinabulu and between Sabah, Solomon Islands and Tuvalu and will return home to London via a brief change of aircraft in Brisbane.
'The tour part is consistent with Their Royal Highnesses' last tour to Canada, and the only difference is the addition of an orderly, who will manage tour logistics and other practicalities. The tour party consists of me (Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton) and the Assistant Private Secretary Rebecca Deacon, two press officers at one time, including Miguel Head, a personal assistant, the orderly I just mentioned and - paid for privately - a hairdresser. Sir David Manning will also accompany Their Royal Highnesses'.
The hairdresser who will accompany Kate is Amanda Cook Tucker. The 50-year-old is no stranger to royal circles and has previously cut William and Harry's hair. Kate is a loyal customer at the Richard Ward salon but has been using Mrs. Cook to style her hair at home. With the hot and humid weather having a hairdresser close by will be an invaluable asset for the Duchess.

'He was happy to reserve the suit, but then produced a pen and asked for her name. Perhaps she was trying to play down her destiny as future Queen, but she replied "Mrs Cambridge". He commented it was quite an unusual name. She just smiled and said she'd be back. He hasn't lived it down since'.
