William and Catherine's North America Tour Part II

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge continue their tour of North America and carrying on from where we left off, the royal couple had last landed on Prince Edward Island.
Duchess Catherine made an outfit change into a nautical-inspired Alexander McQueen knit dress for the official welcome ceremony on Prince Edward Island. Matched with her suede pumps, I thought she looked really elegant in this outfit, with her hair pulled back into a ponytail. But she looked really thin, looks like she really could've lost weight. Poor girl! But I'm really glad she seems really happy and at least Prince William is guiding her every step of the way, which I find very assuring.
Later in the day, Catherine pulled over her navy blue trench coat, one which she has worn before (see this older post), and kept warm with a bright red shawl. This was while watching Prince William perform a search and rescue training demonstration.
Then the couple dressed down into more casual attires for their dragon boat races. While the Prince went with a blue striped shirt, a pair of dark denims and a pair of Onitsuka Tiger shoes (!), his wife wore a Nike windbreaker and a pair of cropped jeans with comfy boat shoes. It was the first time I'd seen her in a sporty get-up and I love it! She's making me wanna get a pair of boat shoes myself.
I really like this picture 'cause it's just the royal couple having a little moment between them despite having the world watching them. Plus, in spite of the rain, they look like they're really enjoying themselves, on top of holding their own umbrellas and really just being like any of us.
After the dragon boat race, they brought on an "awww" moment when they embraced each other. (BTW, Kate's team won!) THEY LOOK SO SWEET TOGETHER! :)
After their time on Prince Edward Island, the couple hopped onto their plane and made their way to Yellowknife. Upon landing, Duchess Catherine disembarked in a nude colour sheath by Malene Birger, matched of course with her L.K. Bennett nude heels.
I thought it was really cute, how the Prince displays his sporty self making a couple of swings of the hockey stick. Note how the royal couple wore the same facial expression. :)

Afterward, Prince William and Duchess Catherine changed into something more casual for some wilderness activity. I guess for the Prince, casual still encompasses a button-down shirt. Kate still looks pretty thin in this olive long-sleeve shirt and cropped jean ensemble, but the whole look is really cute.
Beware: Sweetness overload! :)
And yesterday, the couple made a visit to the damage site in Alberta which was recently victim to a wildfire back in May. After the brief trip, they were back on a flight en route to Calgary, marking the first time the city was to be visited by the Britsh Royalty. Catherine wore the Smythe blazer, which she was seen in when she first departed the UK for Canada and her black wedge slingbacks.
These two really have my greatest respect. Taking things in their stride while more than half the time they are meeting people and dealing with the media instead of having a normal honeymoon like the rest of us. Go Team William and Kate!
