The Duchess’ decision to be off duty comes after she was given the responsibility of keeping a watchful eye on her sister Pippa Middleton’s bridal party during her wedding to James Matthews back in May last year.
And Kate, 36, sure had her hands full as she was forced to tell the line of youngsters to be quiet with a stern finger to her lips as she led them in to the church.
And this year Kate also played a key role in looking after the flower girls, including Princess Charlotte, at her brother-in-law Prince Harry’s Royal Wedding to Meghan Markle in May.
But this Saturday, Duchess Kate was off duty and was snapped spending quality time with her two children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, who took starring roles as pageboy and flower girl.
The mother-of-three beamed fondly as she looked on at her eldest son, Prince George, who showed off his dance moves in front of the other children outside St Andrew’s Church in Letheringsett, Norfolk, on Saturday.
The Duchess of Cambridge even had time to comfort her daughter, Princess Charlotte, who appeared shy, as she lovingly cradled the three-year-old in her arms.
The 36-year-old looked radiant in a periwinkle blue coat dress by Catherine Walker, teamed with a floral headpiece by Juliette Botterill Millinery, who also designed the piece the Duchess wore for Prince Louis’ christening.
The striking outfit matched Prince George and Princess Charlotte’s wedding outfits.
Kate’s hairstylist, Amanda Cook Tucker, is also believed to have styled the bride’s hair.
Brother and sister George and Charlotte took their starring roles among three other bridesmaids and four page boys taking part in the ceremony.
They all wore bespoke outfits from Amaia Kids.
Duchess Kate and Sophie were schoolgirls together at Marlborough College and Sophie is also one of Charlotte’s godmothers.
Kate’s parents, Carole and Michael Middleton and brother, James, were also guests at Sophie’s wedding to Robert Suggs.
While Kate’s sister, Pippa, who is pregnant with her first child, was absent from the special day.
Kate has remained mostly out of the royal limelight, mostly spending time with Prince Louis on maternity leave, with the exception of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Royal Wedding, two trips to Wimbledon and a smattering of other royal events.
