It's been a busy month for Kate Middleton, what with visiting young RAF Air Cadets [1] and participating in a philanthropic foot race [2], but the duchess isn't slowing down just yet. On Monday, Kate stepped out with Prince William for a reception at Buckingham Palace in London to mark Queen Elizabeth II's launch of the UK-India Year of Culture. Dressed in a shimmering Erdem dress [3], Kate mingled with several Indian representatives at the event, which included Finance Minister Arun Jaitley. The program is one of the many patronages Kate is involved with [4] and aims to strengthen the cultural ties between both counties and celebrates the 70th anniversary of India's independence.
