Duchess Kate and The Queen formally open the annual summer exhibit

The Duchess of Cambridge joined her majesty, The Queen at Buckingham Palace to formally open the summer exhibition featuring pieces from her wedding day. In her first public appearance since her departure from California, The Duchess looked tanned and refreshed wearing a beautiful soft pink Joseph A/W 2011 dress and Jimmy Choos 'Lovely' shoes. Unfortunately, the Queen was most horrified at the way Kate's dress has been displayed. The ghost like appearance of the headless mannequin startled the Queen and she was heard describing it as 'horrible'. Kate replied 'It does have a 3D effect'. The pair were among the first to get a private viewing of the display which goes public on tomorrow. Duchess Kate is said to have been apprehensive about displaying her dress but after much consideration decided Buckingham Palace was the ideal place for the public to see it.
