Kate Middleton going away dress fashion verdict: Duchess of Cambridge looks relaxed before her honeymoon

Kate Middleton and Prince William take a walk

After the pomp and grandeur of yesterday’s royal wedding Kate Middleton and husband Prince William looked relaxed this morning as they strolled hand-in-hand in the Buckingham Palace grounds.

Kate wore two stunning McQueen gown’s for yesterday’s marriage and evening reception, but she and her royal husband could have been any newly married couple about to head off on their honeymoon.

Not many newly-weds have a stroll in the Queen’s back yard then fly off by helicopter, mind you.

Kate’s first official appearance on William’s arm after their engagement in November saw her wearing a blue Issa dress, and the 29-year-old again chose blue today, albeit a different shade.

The Duchess of Cambridge’s outfit was stylish but relaxed, and was perfect for the occasion.

The short side of above the knee, the floaty skirt played in the wind as she walked with her husband. Paired with summery wedges, it perhaps hinted the couple are heading for a sunny honeymoon destination.

Kate’s long hair loose on her shoulders added to the relaxed picture.
