The Duchess of Cambridge looked picture perfect in a blue buttoned dress as she joined husband Prince William for a day of royal engagements.

The 36-year-old chose the formal, long-sleeved outfit along with a pair of simple navy blue heels for a visit to the McLaren Automotive Composites Technology Centre and a homeless service in Barnsley.

Catherine glowed as she walked alongside her husband in Rotherham on Wednesday to the company which is expected to provide 200 jobs for the local area.

Here the royal couple met with staff at the new centre, including STEM ambassadors who are working to encourage children to get involved in science-based learning and careers.

Following this the Duke and Duchess made their way to Barnsley to Centrepoint, a homeless service which provides assistance to over 60 struggling youth every day. The service works by helping the young people with accommodation and assists them into getting back into education.

Kate and William enjoyed conversation with volunteers and young people who use the service as they helped to prepare lunch in the hostel’s kitchen.

The palace shared a video of the visit on social media which showed the duchess engaging in a chat while helping to cut slices of bread. Meanwhile William can be seen helping at the stove, stirring a pot of ingredients.

The couple received a lot of praise from royal fans who commended them for their good work in the community.

“Great charity work! Our youth deserve support. They did not ask to be born into a harsh and often hostile world! Blessings to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and the officers, volunteers and donors who support Centrepoint’s work!” one person commented.

While another addd: “Great to see the royals “up north”! Much appreciated”.

Catherine has been spotted quite a bit as of late. Last week the duchess showed off her thrifty side as she wowed crowds at a charity event in London in a stunning ball-gown she first wore six years ago.

Catherine looked stunning as she joined her husband Prince William, both 36, at the Tusk Conservation Awards at Banqueting House in London. 

The duchess wore an aqua-coloured lace gown by British designer Jenny Packham for the occasion — which has proven to be a staple of her wardrobe. She was first seen in the designer gown for a gala event at the Royal Albert Hall to mark the countdown to the London Olympic Games back in 2012.
