In a quiet week, the Royal Wardrobe is making like just about everyone and focusing on Kate and William's trip to Paris. For many different reasons, the last seven days have been mostly about the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. William's ski-ing holiday at the start of the week took up acres of column inches while Royal Visit Paris did much the same at the end. So this week's Wardrobe, and poll, are about the style selections of Kate during her first official visit to the city that owns chic. Here's the Royal Wardrobe of a duchess in Paris.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have spent a second day in Paris. While the focus of day one was formal welcomes, day two was all about getting out and about. There were poignant moments, historic moments and sport face moments as the couple packed in plenty on their final day in the city of lights. Oh. and Kate wore Chanel. Here are the photos from Royal Visit Paris, day two.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have arrived in Paris for a two day visit, perhaps their biggest royal event so far this year. William and Kate have already met the President of France at the Elysee Palace and attended a reception for young leaders at the residence of the British Ambassador. And that's just for entrees. We've got a whole day of engagements on March 18th but as an aperitif for the tour, here are the first photos of Royal Visit Paris.

Royal Visit Paris: William and Kate's diary

William and Kate arrive in Paris this afternoon for a two days visit. Details of the schedule have come through bit by bit since it was announced last month that they would visit the French capital at the request of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. There's a big spotlight on this trip - French magazines and newspapers have been featuring it prominently with Le Point calling the royal couple 'the weapon of glamour against a hard Brexit' and William and Kate step onto French soil just a day after the Queen gave Royal Assent to the bill which will let Prime Minister, Theresa May, formally notify the EU that the UK is leaving. It's the first time that William has officially visited Paris since his mother, Diana, died in the city following a car accident in August 1997. But it also comes at the end of a week in which the Duke of Cambridge has faced criticism for heading off on holiday while his family marked Commonwealth Day. Royal Visit Paris will be everywhere this weekend - here's what we know so far.
