As the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge prepare to embark on a tour of India and Bhutan, we look back over the most chic outfits worn by Kate, Princess Diana and the Queen while abroad on royal business.
Of course, there’s the usual array of shift dresses, structured coats and show-stopping evening gowns, but trips abroad also give the royals the chance to step out of their comfort zones and wear garments appropriate to the country they’re visiting.
