Updated: Kate and Lupo Watch William Play Polo

It was a busy day for the Duchess who joined inner city children in Wrotham, Kent this morning for a camping trip, See today's earlier post for info and photos. Afterwards Kate travelled to Tetbury where William and Harry played a charity polo match at The Beaufort Polo Club.

Kate brought her adorable cocker spainel, Lupo along. Below we see Kate with Autumn and Savannah Philips.

Kate appeared to thoroughly enjoy spending time with Savannah :)

The Princes competed against each other in opposing teams with Harry's team, Zedan Polo, achieving a narrow victory.

The Beaufort Polo Club was formed during the winter of 1928-1929 and has become known as one of the friendliest clubs in England. It is home to the famous Tomlinson polo dynasty and plays host to the first Audi England International match of the summer. The Princes have played polo their regularly over the past number of years.

It was lovely see Kate attending one of William's matches today. During their pre engagement years she attended as many as possible.

The couple spent the weekend in Highgrove house in Gloucestershire, a residence of Prince Charles and Camilla.

Prince Charles hosts many briefings and receptions at Highgrove. It is the ideal residence for Prince Charles, stunning scenic views and beautiful gardens yet within close proximity to London. Perhaps the royals will have a Fathers Day dinner there later?

Kate wore the same outfit as this morning except for the brown, distressed suede jacket. I do not currently know the designer but will update when it is confirmed.

Kate first wore the £295 Burberry military pocket shirt on July 5 2011 during a visit to Blachford Lake.

Duchess Kate Gets Hair Done and Shops On The Kings Road

I had just finished today's earlier post  when I saw Ikon Pictures had photographed Duchess Kate shopping on the King's Road today. Kate spent over three hours at the Richard Ward salon which would suggest rumours James Pryce is no longer her hairdresser are true.  These are the first photos of Kate we have seen since William was deployed to the Falklands and I have to say she looks as radiant as ever.  (To view the photo please click here)

Afterwards Kate went shopping at upscale food market Partridges. The store offers a large range of products from around the world including wine and american produce. Also specialising in home made food such as freshly baked bread. Partridges is one of a number of select firms that hold a 'Royal Warrant'. A distinguished title awarded to businesses located around London, who provide the highest standards of service. 

With Valentine's Day approaching, home made confectionery is incredibly popular at Partridges. Perhaps Kate is sending William some treats, such as these pink, champagne truffles.

The Partridges food market is hugely successful, selling delicacies and seasonal products every Saturday from 10 till 4. 

The Duchess wrapped up in her L.K. Bennett Darwin Jacket. We recently saw Kate wearing the jacket on Christmas eve. The £695 jacket is described as

"The jacket is a super sexy shearling jacket and one of the most beautiful pieces of the season. The fur collar and cuffs with exposed shearling combined with a nipped waist make this a must have".

 Kate's Christmas eve look. Which do you prefer?

Kate completed her look with skinny jeans, a black turtle neck, black suede Russell and Bromley charge it boots and her favourite Mulberry Polly Push Lock Bag. The bag was selling for €530 (half price) here but has just sold out. The Kate effect eh? Notably Kate is not wearing her sapphire engagement ring, no doubt she values it too much to wear whilst running errands.

I'll update if more photos surface! A lovely surprise to see Kate today and her hair looks fantastic!
