This week The Duchess of Cambridge embarked on her first official royal tour to Sweden and Norway, continuing her work to strengthen relationships between Britain and the rest of the world.
She arrived in Oslo on Thursday morning and travelled directly to the royal palace to meet with the King and Queen of Norway. We were thrilled to see her wearing one of our maternity dresses for such a significant royal visit.
