The Duchess of Cambridge cut an elegant figure as she opted for a £350 pastel green dress for her first engagement in the Bahamas today.

Kate Middleton, 40, was joined by Prince William as she arrived at Sybil Strachan Elementary School in Nassau, where they visited a classroom to meet students and staff.

The royal couple were pictured sheltering from the pouring rain under colorful umbrellas as they arrived at school.

The Duchess opted for a pretty pastel green midi dress for the occasion from fashion label Self Portrait, which featured puff sleeves and pleated details on the bodice.

She paired the dress with her £525 white Jimmy Choo heels and a £57 pair of gold drop earrings from local designer Nadia Irena.

The dress is described online as adding “flares of femininity and elegance” with a “beautifully crafted from luxurious materials.”

The Duchess has worn the label before, dazzling in a bespoke £400 white dress from the brand as she hosted an event to thank those who worked on her Hold Still project Tonight last year.

Kate said while walking under an umbrella: ‘Oh my God. The weather – sorry we brought the rain from England with us’

And William also joked: ‘We brought the weather, didn’t we? In fact, the UK is enjoying unusually warm weather today as temperatures hit 19°C (66°F) and people flocked to the beaches in southern England.

The couple are also set to join the school morning assembly which will see children from schools across the islands of the Bahamas connect to meet the Duke and Duchess.

Today’s congregation saw children from schools across the Bahamas islands line up to meet the couple. Schools in the Bahamas were closed for almost two years from March 2020 to January this year due to the pandemic.

Later, on their first full day in the Bahamas, William and Kate will take to the waters off the islands to compete in a regatta in honor of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and are expected to race against each other.

The Cambridges will also spend time with key workers and frontline staff at an informal gathering in the Garden of Remembrance, also in the capital, to hear about their experiences of the pandemic.

In the evening they will attend a dinner hosted by Governor General Sir Cornelius Smith featuring community leaders and local heroes and the Duke will deliver a speech. They are currently on an eight-day Caribbean tour which kicked off March 19 and has already taken them to Belize and Jamaica. The tour will end tomorrow.
