Kate looks stunning for evening soiree

In what is the only after hours event of their tour of Australia, Prince William and Duchess Catherine are attending an evening reception at Government House, Yarralumla in Canberra.

The Duchess is wearing a stunning white Leila Rose Cocktail Dress with her hair in an up-do.

Hosted by His Excellency General Sir Peter Cosgrove, the black tie engagement has been anticipated as the biggest fashion event on the tour.

Kate and Wills have preferred to keep their nights to themselves so that they can spend time with Prince George, who is just nine months old as of Tuesday.

The Royal couple depart Australia tomorrow but they do so “reluctantly”, William said in his speech at Parliament House today.
