Kate Middleton started this week’s engagements wearing sparkly Jimmy Choo high heels at the Dear Evan Hansen performance with Prince William last night. After a fun and glitzy for a night at the theatre, Kate chose much more comfy shoes to visit SportsAid in a pair of white and green Marks and Spencer sneakers. They are the most casual of shoes, less than 24 hours after she wore the most fancy.

The Duchess of Cambridge stepped out in a business casual outfit to meet SportsAid athletes and their parents and guardians at London Stadium. Kate paired a navy Smythe blazer with a green scoop neck top and culottes. It was polished enough for a meeting but cozy enough that Kate could ditch the blazer and comfortably run track and box.
The Duchess is now getting the inside track on Tokyo 2020 for ParalympicsGB with Paula Dunn while finding out about the cost of equipment for the throws in particular. She has also met SportsAid athletes Amy Holder, Karim Chan, Molly Kingsbury, Emmanuel Thomas and Dom Ogbechie! pic.twitter.com/kOoLBYvZHc

The Duchess is taken aback as she reads the application Jessica Ennis-Hill submitted to SportsAid as a 15-year-old. The form was written by Jessica and she informed the charity that her long-term ambition was to ‘compete in major championships’. She did a bit more than that! pic.twitter.com/hQV55cQOIq

Kate isn’t the only royal with an event today. Prince Harry is back in the UK and is in Edinburgh, beginning his last series of events as a working royal family member. The SussexRoyal Instagram explained that Harry is there to promote his Travalyst partnership. As it wrote:
