The Duchess of Cambridge might have had a late night at the Queen’s Diplomatic Reception last night, but there was no time for a day spent lazying around Kensington Palace today.

The pregnant royal took a trip up north to Manchester this morning, to attend the Children’s Global Media Summit in the city.

For the occasion, Kate wrapped up in a new coat; a £495 belted, grey number from one of her favourite British high street labels – L.K. Bennett.

The so-called Delli check coat, which boasts oversized buttons and a collarless design, is currently available in-store and online as part of the company’s Autumn/Winter 2017 collection.

But you better move quickly if you want it as new additions to the Duchess’ wardrobe tend to sell out quickly.

The Duchess paired her coat with smart black heels and wore a £450 festive red dress from another British brand, Goat.

The 35-year-old’s a big fan of the London based womenswear label, founded by John Lewis in 2011. She’s worn a number of pieces from the brand during her third pregnancy, including a cream coat that she wore to visit a children’s centre last month.

The Duchess attended the summit with her husband, Prince William, in tow. The pair took part in a Q&A and forum and the Duke of Cambridge will later give the key note speech at the event, which brings together creatives, technology innovators, policymakers, executives and thought leaders from around the globe.

They’re also set to take part in a feedback session with young children from The Friars Primary School to talk about mental health and how it affects them or how they try to cope with it, tweeted Kensington Palace.
