It’s meant to be one of the quieter months in the royal calendar. But today three duchesses are on duty, including a very glamorous Kate who was the first to step out this morning.
The Duchess of Cambridge looked typically chic in a recycled Oscar de la Renta suit as she kicked off a total of five visits by senior royal women on Wednesday, arriving at the Royal Opera House in London this morning.
Later Meghan will visit the Mayhew animal shelter in north London, followed by a trip to a charity performance of Cirque du Soleil with her husband, Prince Harry, at the Royal Albert Hall this evening. And in Scotland Camilla will undertake two engagements at the University of Aberdeen in her role as chancellor.
The day of duty started with Kate, 37, at the Costume Department of The Royal Opera House to learn more about their use of textiles, commissioning of fabrics and supply chain.
She wore a stylish peplum two-piece by Oscar de la Renta costing £2,736 that she was last spotted wearing for a mental health conference in February 2017. Her choice in purple comes just two days after Meghan wore the same shade during her visit to Birkenhead.
Keeping out the January chill Kate ditched her normally nude stockings for a pair of black opaque tights and appeared to have invested in a new pair of heels.
The mother-of-three who is well known for recycling her footwear, in particular a pair of Gianvito Rossi nude pumps, she pipped for a pair of black stilettos with a gold buckle detailing by Rupert Sanderson costing £525 today.

Make like Kate in a magenta skirt suit by Oscar de la Renta
It’s already been a busy week for the Duchess of Cambridge, visiting a community garden yesterday in her Dubarry jacket and See by Chloe boots, before repeating an Oscar de la Renta skirt suit for her trip to the Royal Opera House today.
We love the cute peplum frill and contrast buttons on her blazer, which she teamed with the matching full pleated skirt. The magenta hue certainly makes a statement, and when teamed with a pair of patent heels by Rupert Sanderson and an Aspinal of London bag, it's a typically elegant look for Kate.
Hailing from the Autumn/Winter '15 collection, it's not the first time we've spotted her wearing this ensemble, and it's easy to see why she's turned to it again.
Unfortunately the whole look has now sold out, but click the links (right and below) to take a closer look over at Moda Operandi.

The mother-of-three appeared simply fascinated as a seamstress showed her the process that goes into making a tutu
Kate appears keen to refresh her shoe collection with her visit today coming just a day after she showcased a new pair of See by Chloe walking boots costing £360 on Tuesday.
Adding another designer to her arsenal Kate could be seen carrying a small black leather handbag costing £495 by Aspinal of London.
She completed her look with a pair of 18K gold Asprey London Oak Leaf hoop earrings, a pair that she has favoured on several occasions, costing £5,000.
The visit allowed the royal to find out more about the scale of the department’s work and how different textiles influence various costumes.
After being a quick tour of the historic building in London's Covent Garden, Kate was taken to the costume department where she met with the seamstresses responsible for the costumes we see on stage.
Stock room supervisor Morag Beaton was on hand to show Kate how tutus are made, surely of interest to the mother whose daughter Charlotte is thought to be taking weekly ballet lessons.
The textile and manufacturing industry is of enormous interest to Kate as her paternal great-great-grandfather, Francis Martineau Lupton, was a mill owner who ran the family’s successful textile manufacturing business, William Lupton & Company, with his three brothers.
The Royal Opera House Costume Department is responsible for creating, refurbishing and conserving thousands of opera and ballet costumes per season, with up to 600 costumes per production.
Up to 10,000 costumes are used each year by artists from The Royal Ballet and The Royal Opera House. The department has built up a historic costume collection of more than 5,000 items, including some dating back to 1861.
Many of the costumes are used time and time again thanks to good maintenance and repair.
This is Kate's second engagement of the week, making the short journey from Kensington Palace to the Royal Opera House solo today
The most expensive item in the Duchess' outfit today was a pair of £5,000 18K gold hoops by Asprey London
Kate's visit today is the first of five engagements to be performed by three duchesses today with both Camilla and Meghan due to make outings later on

It takes the entire revival workroom around 1,500 hours to refurbish the costumes.
During her visit to the Costume Department, Her Royal Highness will visit the pattern room where she will be shown the process of working and creating costumes for a new production with designers, including sourcing fabrics and samples.
She will then visit the dye shop where staff will showcase different techniques including dyeing, hand-painting, staining garments and digital printing which allows the team to reproduce historic fabrics no longer available.
Kate will also meet costumiers in the Work Room working on multiple new shows.
The Duchess has previously worn the designer suit to a mental health conference she attended alongside the Duke of Cambridge back in February 2017 (pictured)
Kate wore her brunette locks in a loose and bouncy blow dry today, a style that she has been favouring of late
The royal, who has a history of textiles in her family, appeared to be full of questions as she arrived at the Royal Opera House
Before departing, the Duchess will meet with Royal Ballet Principal Dancers Lauren Cuthbertson, Laura Morera and Vadim Muntagirov who will explain how various factors such as lighting, interaction and movement influence the designs of their costumes.
She will watch the dancers rehearsing the romantic Ballet The Two Pigeons.
This is Kate's second engagement of 2019 having returned to work on Monday with a visit to a community garden in Islington.
She joined schoolchildren at King Henry’s Walk Garden in North London to see how the project brings people together through gardening and food growing.
The garden has been run for more than a decade by community volunteers with support from Islington Council.
It contains allotments and a ‘from plot to plate’ area for children, which enables them to grow ingredients to put on their own pizzas.
THE ROYAL WARDROBE THIS WEEK: KATE VS MEGHAN
This week saw the Duchesses of Cambridge and Sussex return to work following their festive break, and they have offered up a varied sartorial display.
MEGHAN
On Monday, Meghan paid a visit to Birkenhead alongside Prince Harry where they visited various community projects. The engagement saw her step away from her usual monochrome colour palette, embracing a bright new combination of purple and red.
It seems that Meghan was inspired by her late mother-in-law's love of bright colours for her engagement on Monday with Princess Diana previously favouring the colour pairing.
The Duchess of Sussex stepped away from her usual monochrome colour palette on Monday, instead favouring clashing tones of red and purple
The colour combination was one favoured by her late mother-in-law Princess Diana who flaunted the colour combination during a state visit to Hong Kong in 1989 (seen here)
When it came to her hair the mother-to-be relied on her signature low bun for a busy day of engagements in the down of Birkenhead
The Duchess of Sussex relied on an old favourite when it came to the designer, opting for a red version of the Sentaler coat she had worn to her first Sandringham Christmas back in 2017.
She also owns a camel version of the £1,085 coat from the Canadian brand which she was able to tie at the waist during her first royal Christmas.
Pregnant Meghan added yet another pop of colour the mother-to-be opted for a purple dress from Babaton by Aritizia dress and a pair of court shoes in the same shade as her coat.
KATE
On Tuesday Kate did away with formal wear and opted for a more casual ensemble as she visited a community garden in Islington, North London.
Country girl Kate, who turned 37 last week, wore a jacket costing £399 from Irish brand Dubarry for her engagement on Tuesday
The Duchess of Cambridge cut a casual figure in a tweed jacket, skinny jeans and walking boots by See by Chloe as she visited a community garden in Islington
She ditched her signature stilettos in favour of a practical walking boot, £252 (reduced from £360) by See by Chloe to muck in with local school children
The Duchess of Cambridge wore a khaki tweed jacket by Irish brand Dubarry costing £399. The jacket has proven to be a hit with Kate, having been spotted wearing it while last-minute Christmas shopping in the Range in Norfolk on December 24.
She opted for her trademark skinny jeans for Tuesday's engagement, her go-to look when it comes to more casual occasions such as this.
In light of the chilly temperatures, Kate added an extra layer in the form of a rust coloured roll-neck jumper from J-Crew that could be seen peeking out from her jacket and ditched her signature stilettos in favour of a practical walking boot, £252 (reduced from £360) by See by Chloe to muck in with local school children.
She added just a touch of bling in the form of a small pair of gold leaf-motif earrings which were framed by her bouncy brunette locks, worn in loose waves.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
