Kate Middleton stepped out looking radiant in royal blue on the second day of her visit to Northern Ireland with Prince William.

For their first engagement of the day in Ballymena, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge met with officers and staff from the Police Service in Northern Ireland to hear about the unique challenges they face.

The duchess chose a dark blue dress by one of her favourite designers, Jenny Packham, with long sleeves and a flattering cinched-in waist for the occasion.

Kate covered-up her dress in a stunning and very spring-ready pale blue cape coat by Mulberry on arrival, teamed with dark blue suede heels and a matching clutch bag.

During their visit, the royal couple were set to take part in some of the charity's workshops to see their training first-hand.

For their third engagement of the day, Will and Kate will visit Sure Start, a programme that supports parents with young children living in disadvantaged areas in Northern Ireland.
