Prince William and Kate Middleton are on an eight-day tour of the Caribbean – Belize, Jamaica and the Bahamas – for the queen’s jubilee. So far, Middleton has worn colourful looks that celebrate the countries and honour their flags – here’s a look at some of our favourite outfits.

1. On her first day of the tour, Middleton’s outfit popped and represented Belize’s flag

On March 19, they touched down at the Philip S.W. Goldson International Airport in Belize. The duchess stepped out of their aeroplane to meet dignitaries in a bright periwinkle blue skirt suit. The lace and belted ensemble by Jenny Packham was symbolic of the host country’s blue, red and white flag.

The monochromatic look was paired with matching Emmy London Rebecca pumps and a scallop-edged clutch. Middleton also wore a sapphire necklace and earrings that once belonged to Princess Diana.

She wore the same look when she later met the prime minister and his wife. William and Middleton reportedly scrapped the first stop of their tour of Belize due to a protest from locals over land disputes and colonialism. Protests have followed the royals on the tour.

2. She wore a printed sundress and made the look more comfortable as the day went on

On the second day of the tour, Middleton wore a casual and cheery Tory Burch dress to visit a cacao factory with William. The floral print sundress had a smock bodice and puffy sleeves.

Middleton was also styled in blue Sezane earrings, an Anya Hindmarch straw clutch reminiscent of a rainbow, and a sandy-coloured pair of Stuart Weitzman wedges, according to People.

Later in the day, when the couple visited Hopkins village, the duchess switched out her wedges for classic white Stella McCartney espadrilles and added sleek sunglasses.
