The Duchess of Cambridge delighted royal fans by stepping out for a surprise appearance today (9 September) to open the new "Back To Nature" play garden at RHS Garden Wisley in Surrey.
The new playground was inspired by Kate's Chelsea Flower Show garden design, which was unveiled back in May.
Back to work following a summer break, Kate made the most of the September sunshine in a summery floral dress by one of her go-to designers, Emilia Wickstead.

The on-trend £1,635 shirt dress in a classic light blue and pink rose print boasts flattering long sleeves, a belted waist and a midi length skirt.
The Duchess completed her outfit with a pair of beige espadrilles, and wore her newly lightened hair down in a signature bouncy blow dry.
Kate was joined by celebrity cook and RHS ambassador Mary Berry at the opening, and was set to make a speech to visitors.
Mary also opted for a floral dress for the occasion, worn with a hot pink cardigan.
