For their first tour with Prince George, William and Kate headed off on an epic trip to New Zealand and Australia, spending ten days in their first port of call, where they visited Wellington, Blenheim, Auckland, Hamilton, Dunedin, Queenstown, and Christchurch.
Kate wore two outfits by New Zealand designers on the tour — a turquoise dress by Emilia Wickstead and blue tweed skirt suit by Rebecca Taylor. The duchess also paid close attention to the country's national symbol, the fern, and national color of black. She borrowed a diamond fern brooch from the queen, wore a fern-bedecked Jane Taylor hat for church, and chose a black dress embroidered with a crystal fern for an evening event.
