Kate Middleton let hair down this afternoon as she chatted to Korean politicians alongside Prince William at Buckingham Palace.
The Princess of Wales, 41, slipped off her £3,000 caped red coat from Catherine Walker to show off another coat from the same designer as she joined Prince William, King Charles and Queen Camilla to meet the president and First Lady of South Korea today.
The royal arrived this morning with her hair up in a sleek bun and opted for a glamorous make-up look including a smokey eye as she drove to Horse Guards Parade.
But she appeared to opt for a more relaxed hair do once inside the palace, removing her hat and letting her tresses loose.
Looking in her element the royal chatted to with Choo Kyungho, Korea's Deputy Prime Minister and Park Jin, the Korean Minister of Foreign Affairs while Korean items from the Royal Collection.

Earlier, William and Kate drove in a town car to meet Yoon Suk Yeol and his wife Kim Keon Hee at their central London hotel before accompanying to a reception at Buckingham Palace where they met the King and Queen.
Opting for complementing Gianvito Rossi shoes and a matching hat by Jane Taylor, Kate paid a subtle tribute to the late Queen, who too was a fan of colour-blocking.
To add a further glitz to the look, Kate sported a pair of Princess Diana's sapphire and diamond oval drop earrings.
The royal has worn a similar coat dress on many occasions, including during her Christmas Carol concert at Westminster Abbey in 2021. She wore a black version of the same dress to Prince Philip's funeral.
The shoes are also a firm favourite of Kate's - with her owning the heels in at least six colours.
The King and Queen, wearing a blue dress and coat by Anna Valentine, hat with loose feathers by Philip Treacy, and a sapphire and diamond brooch, which belonged to Queen Mary, were waiting to greet them at the Royal Pavilion, as they officially welcomed the president of South Korea to the UK today.
Weeks of preparation had gone into the official ceremonial welcome on Horse Guards with more than 1,000 soldiers and 230 horses gathered for the occasion. In all seven military bands and nine military units were involved.
